<s1 title="java.util.logging">

<s2 title="Overview">

<p>Resin uses the JDK standard java.util.logging for
all its internal logging and offers flexible configuration for the logging
format and the logging level. The logging configuration has two parts:
the set of log handlers, and the logger level.</p>

<p>A log handler tells Resin where to send logging output. Resin includes
file-based log handlers, mail handlers, syslog handlers, and any
custom logging handler following the JDK standard. The log handler
is configured with a name and a level which must both match for the log
to be output.</p>

<example title="Example: file-based log-handler in resin.xml">
&lt;resin xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin">

  &lt;log-handler name="com.foo" level="all"
               path="${resin.root}/log/foo.log"
               timestamp="[%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%s] {%{thread}} "/>
  ...
  
&lt;/resin>  
</example>

<p>The &lt;logger> configures the logging level for a named logger.
Because a &lt;logger> will generally have several log-handlers, both
the logger level and the log-handler level must match for
the log to output. Since the logger and log-handler names
are hierarchical, a "com.foo" &lt;logger> will enable "com.foo.bar".</p>

<example title="Example: logging at the 'fine' level in resin.xml">
&lt;resin xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin">

  &lt;logger name="com.foo" level="fine"/>
  &lt;logger name="com.foo.bar" level="finest"/>
  ...
  
&lt;/resin>  
</example>

</s2>

<s2 title="Log names">

<p>The JDK logging api uses a hierarchical naming scheme.  Typically the name
is aligned with a java class name.  When you specify a name, all logging
requests that use a name that starts with the name you have specified are
matched.  For example: <code>&lt;logger name="example.hogwarts" ...&gt;</code>
matches a logging request for both "example.hogwarts.System" and
"example.hogwarts.gryffindor.System"</p>

<p>Resin's own logging is based on Resin's source class names.
The following are useful log names in Resin:</p>

<deftable title="Resin log names">

<s2 title="Log levels">

<p>
The logger <var>level</var> enables logs for a given
debugging granularity. A "severe" level only shows logs which threaten
the stability of the server, and a "fine" level shows debugging information
intended for application/library users.
</p>

<p>
The logger levels match the values defined by
the JDK <a javadoc="java.util.logging.Level"/>.

<s2 title="&lt;log-handler>">
   
<p>Configure a log handler for the JDK java.util.logging.* API.
java.util.logging has two steps: configure a set of log handlers,
and configure the levels for each logger.  The &lt;log-handler> creates
a destination for logs, sets a minimum logging level for the handler,
and attaches the handler to a logging name.</p>

<p>In addition to configuring custom handlers, &lt;log-handler> has the
most common configuration built-in: logging to a rotating file.  Most of the
configuration attributes are used for the rotating file and are shared
with the other logging configuration.</p>

</s2>

<s2 title="log-handler timestamp">

<p>The <var>timestamp</var> for log tags is a format string which can contain
percent codes which are substituted with time and date values.</p>

</results>

</s2>

<s2 title='log-handler archiving'>

<p>The following example is a standard log handler writing to a rollover
file.  Because the handler's level is "all", the &lt;logger> configuration
will set the actual logging level.</p>

<example title="Example: logging to a rollover file">
&lt;web-app xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin">

  &lt;log-handler name="" level="all"
       timestamp="[%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%s] {%{thread}} "/>

  &lt;logger name="com.caucho" level="info"/>

&lt;/web-app>
</example>

<p>The default archive format is
</p>

<def title="default archive-format">
<var>path</var> + ".%Y%m%d"    if rollover-period >= 1 day.
<var>path</var> + ".%Y%m%d.%H" if rollover-period &lt; 1 day.
</def>

<p>For example, to log everything to standard error use:</p>

<example title="Example: logging everything to System.err">
&lt;resin xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin"&gt;
  &lt;log-handler name='' level='all' path='stderr:' timestamp="[%H:%M:%S.%s]"/&gt;
  ...
&lt;/resin&gt;
</example>

<p>A useful technique is to enable full debug logging to track down a problem:
</p>

<example title="debug logging">

&lt;resin&gt;
  ...
  &lt;log-handler name='' level='finer' path='log/debug.log'
       timestamp="[%H:%M:%S.%s]"
       rollover-period='1h' rollover-count='1'/&gt;
  ...
&lt;/resin&gt;
</example>

</s2>

<s2 title="log-handler EL formatting">

<p>The <var>format</var> for Resin's log-handler tags specifies
a format string for each log message.  <code>format</code>
recognizes EL-expressions. The EL variable <var>log</var> is a 
<a javadoc="com.caucho.log.ELFormatter.ELFormatterLogRecord"/>
 object.</p>

<example title="Example: log format string">

&lt;log-handler name='' level='all' path='stderr:' timestamp="[%H:%M:%S.%s]"
     format=" ${log.level} ${log.name} ${log.message}"/&gt;

<p>You can also use the <a href="config-el.xtp">Environment EL variables</a> in your format string:</p>

<example title="log format string using an Environment EL variable.">
&lt;host ...&gt;

  &lt;web-app&gt;
    &lt;log name='' level='all' path='log/debug.log' timestamp="[%H:%M:%S.%s]"
         format=" [<b>${app.contextPath}</b>] ${log.message}"/&gt;

    ...
  &lt;/web-app&gt;

<p>The <a href="config-el.xtp#fmt.sprintf">fmt.sprintf()</a> function can
space pad the values and make the results look a little nicer:</p>

<s2 title="Logger: Application logging">

<p>You can take advantage of the JDK's logging facility to add
logging to your application.  Choosing a good logging name and levels
are important for troubleshooting and debugging your code.  Logging
to much can be almost as confusing as logging too little.</p>

<p>The logging name should be the full class name of the class you're
instrumenting.  Although other schemes are possible, the class name
is more maintainable.</p>

<p>The logging level should be consistent across your application.  For Resin,
we use the following level conventions:</p>

<example title="Example: logging at finer">
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import java.util.logging.Level;

public class Foo {
  private static final Logger log
    = Logger.getLogger(Foo.class.getName());

  ...
  void doFoo(String bar)
  {
    // check for log level if your logging call does anything more
    // than pass parameters
    if (log.isLoggable(Level.FINER))
        log.finer(this + "doFoo(" + bar + ")");

    ...

    log.info(...);

    try {
        ...
    } catch (ExpectedException ex) {
      log.log(Level.FINEST, "expected exception", ex);
    }
  }
  ...
}
</example>
</s2>

<s2 title="Custom and library log handlers">

<p>Custom handlers and log handlers from libraries can be configured
with Resin's logging system, using the CanDI XML configuration syntax.
The custom handler is a child of &lt;log-handler> and configured with
any argument or setters necessary. Resin will install the handler just
like one of its own handlers.</p>

<example title="Example: JDK's FileHandler">
&lt;web-app xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin"
   xmlns:jdk-logging="urn:java.util.logging">

  &lt;log-handler name="com.foo" level="info">
    &lt;jdk-logging:FileHandler>
      &lt;new>
        &lt;value>/tmp/test.out&lt;/value>
      &lt;/new>
    &lt;/jdk-logging:FileHandler>
  &lt;/logger>
  
&lt;/web-app>
</example>

<example title="Example: MyHandler.java">
package com.foo.demo;

import java.util.logging.*;

public class MyHandler extends Handler
{
  @Override
  public void publish(LogRecord record)
  {
    System.out.println(getFormatter().format(record));
  }
  
  @Override
  public void flush();
  {
  }
  
  @Override
  public void close();
  {
  }
}
</example>

</s2>

<s2 title="Custom log formatting">

<p>The formatting of a log message can be customized just like the
log handler. The Formatter is a java.util.logging interface which Resin's
logging understands and can be configured with &lt;log-handler>.</p>

<p>Sites may wish to change the formatting of log messages to gather
information more appropriate for the site.  The formatter can be
custom-configured just like the handlers.</p>

<example title="Example: custom formatter configuration">
&lt;web-app xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin"
  xmlns:mypkg="urn:java:com.mycom.mypkg">

  &lt;log-handler name="com.foo" level="warning" path="WEB-INF/log.log"&gt;
    &lt;formatter>&lt;mypkg:MyFormatter/>&lt;/formatter>
  &lt;/log-handler>
  
&lt;/web-app>
</example>

<example title="Example: MyFormatter.java">
package com.mycom.mypkg;

import java.util.logging.*;

public class MyFormatter extends Formatter
{
  @Override
  public String format(LogRecord record)
  {
    return "[" + record.getLevel() + "] " + record.getMessage();
  }
}
</example>

</s2> <!-- formatter -->

<s2 title="Resin Builtin Log Handlers">

<p>Resin provides a number of predefined custom log handlers for common
logging patterns, including sending messages to JMS, HMTP,
and the syslog service.  Creating your own custom handler is also
straightforward.</p>

<s3 name="bam" title="BamLogHandler (4.0.5)">

<p>The BAM handler publishes the log message to a BAM
agent.  The agent can be a custom HMTP service to process log messages.
The <code>BamHandler</code> needs a JID (Jabber id) as the address of the
target service.</p>

<example title="Example: BAM handler configuration">
&lt;web-app xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin"
  xmlns:resin="urn:java:com.caucho.resin">

  &lt;logger name="com.foo">
    &lt;resin:BamLogHandler level="warning">
       &lt;to>test@localhost&lt;/to>
    &lt;/resin:BamLogHandler>
  &lt;/logger>

&lt;/web-app>
</example>

</s3>

<s3 name="event" title="EventLogHandler">

<p>The event handler publishes a <code>LogEvent</code> to the CanDI event
system.  Any CanDI component with an <code>@Observes</code> method for
<code>LogEvent</code> will receive the notifications.  The log handler
classname is <code>com.caucho.log.EventLogHandler</code>.</p>

<example title="Example: event handler configuration">
&lt;web-app xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin"
   xmlns:resin="urn:java:com.caucho.resin">

  &lt;logger name="com.foo">
    &lt;resin:EventLogHandler level="warning"/>
  &lt;/logger>

&lt;/web-app>
</example>

</s3>

<s3 name="jms" title="JmsLogHandler">

<p>The JMS handler publishes the log message to a
<!--<a href="resin-messaging.xtp">-->JMS queue.</p>

<example title="Example: JMS handler configuration">
&lt;web-app xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin"

</example>

</s3>

<s3 name="mail" title="MailLogHandler (4.0.5)">

<s1 title="Log rotation and archiving">

<p>Log rotation are a way stop your log files from getting too large,
and to archive log files on a weekly or daily basis. When a rollover is
triggered, the existing log file is renamed and a new file is
started. Logs can be rotated by size or by time.</p>

<p>The same log rotation mechanism in Resin is used for JDK logging,
HTTP access logging, and standard output logging.</p>

<s2 title="Size based rollover">
<p>A size based rollover is triggered when the size of the file reaches a
certain amount.  The default Resin behaviour for log's is to rollover when the
file size reaches 1mb.</p>

<p><code>rollover-size</code> is used to specify the maximum size, and can be in
bytes (50000), kilobytes (128kb), or megabytes (10mb).  A value of <code>-1</code>
disables size based rollovers.</p>
</s2>

<s2 title="Time based rollover">

<p>A time based rollover is triggered when a certain period of time has passed
since the last rollover.  The default Resin behaviour is to perform no time
based rollover, unless rollover-size has been disabled with a value of -1 in
which case the default time period is 1 month.</p>

<p><code>rollover-period</code> is used to specify the time period, and can be in
days (15D), weeks (2W), months (1M), or hours (1h).</p>

<s2 title="Archive files">
<p>When a rollover is triggered, the log file is renamed (archived) and a new
log file is started.</p>

<p><code>archive-format</code> is used to specify the name of the archive file.  It
can contain regular characters, <a href="config-el.xtp">EL Environment
variables</a>, and % codes that capture the current date and time.  The % codes
are the same as the ones used for <code>timestamp</code> 
(see <a href="#timestamp">Timestamp format string)</a>.</p>

<p>The default behaviour depends on the value of rollover-period.  If
rollover-period is greater than one day, or is not being used because
rollover-size has been specified, the archive filename is the original path
with <code>.%Y%m%d</code> appended.  If rollover-period is less than one day, the
archive filename is the original path with <code>.%Y%m%d.%H</code> appended.</p>

</s2>

<s2 title="Disabling rollovers">

<p>To completely disable rollovers, set the <code>rollover-size</code> to such a
high number that it will never occur:</p>

<example title="disable log rollovers">
  &lt;stdout-log path="log//stdout.log" rollover-size="1024mb"/&gt;
</example>

</s2>

<s2 title="Compression">

<p>Rollover log files can be compressed with gzip or zip.  The
extension of the archive-format determines the compression.</p>

<example>
&lt;log name="" level="warning" path='log/error.log'
     archive-format="%Y-%m-%d.error.log.gz"
     rollover-period="1D"/&gt;

&lt;access-log path="log/access.log"
            archive-format="access-%Y%m%d.log.gz"
            rollover-period="1D"/&gt;
</example>
