Java GenericXMLConfigurator-class And Method Code Example
Here is an example of how to use the GenericXMLConfigurator class from the logback library in Java:
import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext;
import ch.qos.logback.core.joran.GenericConfigurator;
import ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.JoranException;
import ch.qos.logback.core.util.StatusPrinter;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
GenericConfigurator configurator = new GenericXMLConfigurator(context);
try {
configurator.doConfigure("logback.xml");
Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Example.class);
logger.debug("this is a debug message");
logger.info("this is an info message");
logger.warn("this is a warn message");
logger.error("this is an error message");
} catch (JoranException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
StatusPrinter.printInCaseOfErrorsOrWarnings(context);
}
}
This example uses the GenericXMLConfigurator class to configure the logback logging system using an XML configuration file named "logback.xml". The GenericXMLConfigurator class is passed the current LoggerContext, and the doConfigure method is called with the path to the XML configuration file as the argument.
The XML configuration file can be used to set various logback settings such as the level of logging, appenders, encoders, and layout.
The example logs 4 messages and also call StatusPrinter.printInCaseOfErrorsOrWarnings(context) at the end of the try block, this will print the status of the logback context in case of errors or warnings.
Please note that
- You should import the relevant classes for logback
- You should place the logback.xml in the classpath
- The above code is just an example and it does not include the full context of a logging application.
- You can also use other GenericConfigurator classes such as JoranConfigurator and ReconfigureOnChangeFilter to configure the logback
- doConfigure method throws JoranException
