Class RASTraceEvent

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RASConstants, RASIEvent, RASITraceEvent, java.io.Serializable
    Deprecated. 
    As of WAS 6.0, recommend using java.util.logging

    public class RASTraceEvent
extends RASEvent
implements RASITraceEvent
    RASTraceEvent encapsulates all of the information generated by RASTraceLogger. It is not necessary to create a RASTraceEvent directly, as the RASTraceLogger handles this task. However, the methods of this class are public, should it be necessary to extend RASTraceEvent.

    A RASTraceEvent object contains the following components:

    • A flag which identifies this event as a trace event.
    • A time stamp, generated when the RASTraceEvent is created.
    • A trace type.
    • The trace event text, which conveys some useful information to the developer. Since tracing is only intended for the software development team, no provision is made for translating RASTraceEvent text.
    • A set of Strings which can be displayed with the trace event text. These parameters are required only if the text expects them.
    • A set of additional attributes that may be part of the event data. The following attributes may be set. Unless otherwise noted, all Objects associated with the attributes are Strings.

      loggingClass
      The name of the Java class which generated the trace event.
      loggingMethod
      The name of the Java method which generated the trace event.
      threadID
      The thread identifier.
      logger
      The name of the RASTraceLogger which created the trace event.
      server
      A server associated with the creation of the trace event.
      client
      The client on whose behalf the trace event was created.
      exception
      A Throwable object.

      Constants for these attributes are defined in RASConstants.

    The RASTraceEvent type is defined by the set of RASITraceEvent TYPE_XXXX constants. Values 0x000000 up to, but not including, 0x100000L are reserved. Extensions to the RASTraceEvent class may use values outside this range for additional types. The constant RASITraceEvent.DEFAULT_TRACE_MASK contains the set of RASTraceEvent types that the handlers will log by default. The default mask is defined as follows: 

     public static final long DEFAULT_TRACE_MASK = 
   TYPE_API |
   TYPE_CALLBACK |
   TYPE_ENTRY_EXIT |
   TYPE_ERROR_EXC |
   TYPE_MISC_DATA |
   TYPE_OBJ_CREATE |
   TYPE_OBJ_DELETE |
   TYPE_PRIVATE |
   TYPE_PUBLIC |
   TYPE_STATIC |
   TYPE_SVC;

    • Method Detail

      • getSupportedTypes

        public java.util.Hashtable getSupportedTypes()
        Deprecated. 
        Gets the complete set of trace event types supported by this class.

        This method can be used by a graphical log manager to display the set of types and allow a user to select those to be monitored. Every extending class should override this method to add the types it supports to the Hashtable returned by its parent.

        Specified by:
        getSupportedTypes in interface RASIEvent
        Overrides:
        getSupportedTypes in class RASEvent
        Returns:
        A Hashtable containing the values of all of the trace event types. The names of the types are used as keys and are returned in the current locale. The type values, normally kept as longs, are returned as Longs because of the Hashtable requirement that all elements be Objects.

      • maskLongValue

        public long maskLongValue(java.lang.String types)
        Deprecated. 
        Converts a String representation of a trace mask to its long equivalent. The string must have the following format: 
         String types = "TYPE_INFO TYPE_WARN";
        Unknown values in the String are ignored.
        Specified by:
        maskLongValue in interface RASIEvent
        Overrides:
        maskLongValue in class RASEvent
        Parameters:
        types - The blank-delimited String to be converted.
        Returns:
        The long equivalent of the String, formed by the logical OR of each element in the String.

      • maskToString

        public java.lang.String maskToString(long types)
        Deprecated. 
        Converts a long containing the logical OR of one or more event types to its String equivalent. The string will have the following format: 
         String types = "TYPE_INFO TYPE_WARN";
        Every extending class should override this method to add the types it supports to the value returned by its parent.

        Unknown values in the long are ignored.

        Specified by:
        maskToString in interface RASIEvent
        Overrides:
        maskToString in class RASEvent
        Parameters:
        types - The trace mask.
        Returns:
        The String equivalent of the mask.

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Deprecated. 
        Returns a String representation of this object.
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        A representation of this object.
