ErrorManager

extends Object
java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.util.logging.ErrorManager

Class Overview

An error reporting facility for Handler implementations to record any error that may happen during logging. Handlers should report errors to an ErrorManager, instead of throwing exceptions, which would interfere with the log issuer's execution.

Summary

Constants
int CLOSE_FAILURE The error code indicating a failure when closing an output stream.
int FLUSH_FAILURE The error code indicating a failure when flushing an output stream.
int FORMAT_FAILURE The error code indicating a failure when formatting the error messages.
int GENERIC_FAILURE The error code indicating a failure that does not fit in any of the specific types of failures that follow.
int OPEN_FAILURE The error code indicating a failure when opening an output stream.
int WRITE_FAILURE The error code indicating a failure when writing to an output stream.
Public Constructors
ErrorManager()
Constructs an instance of ErrorManager.
Public Methods
void error(String message, Exception exception, int errorCode)
Reports an error using the given message, exception and error code.

Public Methods

public void error (String message, Exception exception, int errorCode)

Since: API Level 1

Reports an error using the given message, exception and error code. This implementation will write out the message to err on the first call and all subsequent calls are ignored. A subclass of this class should override this method.

Parameters
message the error message, which may be null.
exception the exception associated with the error, which may be null.
errorCode the error code that identifies the type of error; see the constant fields of this class for possible values.
