Class XmlLogger

Implemented Interfaces:
BuildListener, BuildLogger, EventListener

public class XmlLogger
extends java.lang.Object
implements BuildLogger

Generates a file in the current directory with an XML description of what happened during a build. The default filename is "log.xml", but this can be overridden with the property XmlLogger.file. This implementation assumes in its sanity checking that only one thread runs a particular target/task at a time. This is enforced by the way that parallel builds and antcalls are done - and indeed all but the simplest of tasks could run into problems if executed in parallel.

Constructor Summary

XmlLogger()
Constructs a new BuildListener that logs build events to an XML file.

Method Summary

void
buildFinished(BuildEvent event)
Fired when the build finishes, this adds the time taken and any error stacktrace to the build element and writes the document to disk.
void
buildStarted(BuildEvent event)
Fired when the build starts, this builds the top-level element for the document and remembers the time of the start of the build.
void
messageLogged(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a message is logged, this adds a message element to the most appropriate parent element (task, target or build) and records the priority and text of the message.
void
setEmacsMode(boolean emacsMode)
Ignore emacs mode, as it has no meaning in XML format
void
setErrorPrintStream(PrintStream err)
Ignore error print stream.
void
setMessageOutputLevel(int level)
Set the logging level when using this as a Logger
void
setOutputPrintStream(PrintStream output)
Set the output stream to which logging output is sent when operating as a logger.
void
targetFinished(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a target finishes building, this adds the time taken and any error stacktrace to the appropriate target element in the log.
void
targetStarted(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a target starts building, this pushes a timed element for the target onto the stack of elements for the current thread, remembering the current time and the name of the target.
void
taskFinished(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a task finishes building, this adds the time taken and any error stacktrace to the appropriate task element in the log.
void
taskStarted(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a task starts building, this pushes a timed element for the task onto the stack of elements for the current thread, remembering the current time and the name of the task.

Method Details

buildFinished

public void buildFinished(BuildEvent event)
Fired when the build finishes, this adds the time taken and any error stacktrace to the build element and writes the document to disk.
Specified by:
buildFinished in interface BuildListener
Parameters:
event - An event with any relevant extra information. Will not be null.

buildStarted

public void buildStarted(BuildEvent event)
Fired when the build starts, this builds the top-level element for the document and remembers the time of the start of the build.
Specified by:
buildStarted in interface BuildListener
Parameters:
event - Ignored.

messageLogged

public void messageLogged(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a message is logged, this adds a message element to the most appropriate parent element (task, target or build) and records the priority and text of the message.
Specified by:
messageLogged in interface BuildListener
Parameters:
event - An event with any relevant extra information. Will not be null.

setEmacsMode

public void setEmacsMode(boolean emacsMode)
Ignore emacs mode, as it has no meaning in XML format
Specified by:
setEmacsMode in interface BuildLogger
Parameters:
emacsMode - true if logger should produce emacs compatible output

setErrorPrintStream

public void setErrorPrintStream(PrintStream err)
Ignore error print stream. All output will be written to either the XML log file or the PrintStream provided to setOutputPrintStream
Specified by:
setErrorPrintStream in interface BuildLogger
Parameters:
err - the stream we are going to ignore.

setMessageOutputLevel

public void setMessageOutputLevel(int level)
Set the logging level when using this as a Logger
Specified by:
setMessageOutputLevel in interface BuildLogger
Parameters:
level - the logging level - see Project class for level definitions

setOutputPrintStream

public void setOutputPrintStream(PrintStream output)
Set the output stream to which logging output is sent when operating as a logger.
Specified by:
setOutputPrintStream in interface BuildLogger
Parameters:
output - the output PrintStream.

targetFinished

public void targetFinished(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a target finishes building, this adds the time taken and any error stacktrace to the appropriate target element in the log.
Specified by:
targetFinished in interface BuildListener
Parameters:
event - An event with any relevant extra information. Will not be null.

targetStarted

public void targetStarted(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a target starts building, this pushes a timed element for the target onto the stack of elements for the current thread, remembering the current time and the name of the target.
Specified by:
targetStarted in interface BuildListener
Parameters:
event - An event with any relevant extra information. Will not be null.

taskFinished

public void taskFinished(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a task finishes building, this adds the time taken and any error stacktrace to the appropriate task element in the log.
Specified by:
taskFinished in interface BuildListener
Parameters:
event - An event with any relevant extra information. Will not be null.

taskStarted

public void taskStarted(BuildEvent event)
Fired when a task starts building, this pushes a timed element for the task onto the stack of elements for the current thread, remembering the current time and the name of the task.
Specified by:
taskStarted in interface BuildListener
Parameters:
event - An event with any relevant extra information. Will not be null.
