Class ChainSawHandler

java.lang.Object

sunlabs.brazil.server.ChainHandler

sunlabs.brazil.handler.ChainSawHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

Handler

public class ChainSawHandler
extends ChainHandler

Variant of the chain handler for doing standard logging. Don't use on fine furniture.

Output is a variant of the common logfile format. The common logfile format is as follows:

 remotehost rfc931 authuser [date] "request" status bytes
 

remotehost

Remote hostname (or IP number if DNS hostname is not available, or if DNSLookup is Off.

rfc931

The remote logname of the user.

authuser

The username as which the user has authenticated himself.

[date]

Date and time of the request.

"request"

The request line exactly as it came from the client.

status

The HTTP status code returned to the client.

bytes

The content-length of the document transferred.

"referrer" (optional)

the referring url

"user agent" (optional)

"The user agent making the request

Additional Configuration options:

logFile

The name of the file to write the logs to.

flush

The number of requests between flushes to the file

If the logFile is removed, the server creates a new one. Thus logs may be truncated by periodically moving them to another name (at least on unix).

See the LogHandler handler for generating logs whose contents are configurable.

init

public boolean init(Server server,
                    java.lang.String prefix)

Description copied from class: ChainHandler

Initializes this ChainHandler by initializing all the "wrapped" handlers in the list of handlers. If a wrapped handler cannot be initialized, this method logs a message and skips it. If no handlers were specified, or no handlers were successfully initialized, then the initialization of this ChainHandler is considered to have failed.

Specified by:

init in interface Handler

Overrides:

init in class ChainHandler

Parameters:

server - The HTTP server that created this ChainHandler.

prefix - The prefix for this ChainHandler's properties.

Returns:

true if at least one of the wrapped handlers was successfully initialized.

respond

public boolean respond(Request request)
                throws java.io.IOException

Run the chain-handler, counting the # of bytes of output generated by its chained handlers.

Specified by:

respond in interface Handler

Overrides:

respond in class ChainHandler

Parameters:

request - The HTTP request.

Returns:

true if one of the Handlers returns true, false otherwise.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if one of the Handlers throws an IOException while responding.
