Method Detail

getLogFileKeys

String[] getLogFileKeys()

Keys which may be used to specify which log file to access. Legal values include:

• SERVER_KEY
• ACCESS_KEY is not supported

Returns:

a String[] of the legal keys which designate log files

getLogFileNames

String[] getLogFileNames(String key)

The names returned are not full paths but the simple file names of the log files. The last name in the resulting String[] will always be that of the current log file. In other words if the String[] las length 3, then result[2] will be the name of the current log file.

Note that it is possible for log file rotation to occur after making this call, thus rendering the list incomplete.

The resulting names may be passed to getLogFile(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) to retrieve the contents.

The only legal key supported is SERVER_KEY.

Parameters:

key - a key specifying the type of log file

Returns:

String[] of all log filenames

getLogFile

String getLogFile(String key,
                  String fileName)

The entire specified log file is read, converted into a String, and returned. The resulting String may be quite large.

The only legal key supported is SERVER_KEY.

Parameters:

key - a legal key designating a log file

fileName - a log file name as returned by getLogFileNames(java.lang.String) or MOST_RECENT_NAME if current log file is desired.

Returns:

the contents of the specified log file in a String

rotateAllLogFiles

void rotateAllLogFiles()
