Method Details

close

public void close()
Forces any data that may have been buffered to the underlying output device, but does not close System.err.

In case of an I/O failure, the ErrorManager of this ConsoleHandler will be informed, but the caller of this method will not receive an exception.

Overrides:
close in interface StreamHandler

publish

public void publish(LogRecord record)
Publishes a LogRecord to the console, provided the record passes all tests for being loggable.

Most applications do not need to call this method directly. Instead, they will use use a Logger, which will create LogRecords and distribute them to registered handlers.

In case of an I/O failure, the ErrorManager of this SocketHandler will be informed, but the caller of this method will not receive an exception.

The GNU implementation of ConsoleHandler.publish calls flush() for every request to publish a record, so they appear immediately on the console.

Overrides:
publish in interface StreamHandler
Parameters:
record - the log event to be published.
