The LogReader for the Java 1.4 logging API is a toolset for reading
java log files. This will provide a command line and graphical tool
along with a web application for reading log files. An easy to use
API is provided for those who wish to incorporate reading and parsing of
log files into their application. Currently the parser supports log
files that are written only with the java.util.logging.XMLFormatter
or conform to the logger.dtd
Features:
| No limitations on size of Log File |
| If allowed java log files can grow indefinitely and become hard to
parse due to memory constraints. The Logreader recognizes this and
will only parse the log file on demand. Only as Log records are read
from the from the client of the API is the log file parsed. This way
log files of unlimited size can be parsed because they do not have to be
read into memory in whole.
|
| Web Application |
| A web application built from the java servlet/jsp
API. Administrators of a web site can remotely view log files
logged by their java application.
|
| Command Line |
| A command line tool is provided for developers to
logically read the contents of log files. This can aid in
development by decreasing the time that it takes a developer to get
the needed information from a log file. Note: Currently Linux
is the only platform that the command line tool is supported on.
|
| Graphical User Interface |
| Currently this is not available. It will be
available in the next release.
