addHandler() method of a Logger class used to add a log Handler to receive logging messages. A Handler is a component of JVM that takes care of actual logging to the defined output writers like a file, console out etc. one or more Handlers can be added to a Logger. When different types of messages are logged using the Logger, the logs are forwarded to the Handler’s output. By default, Loggers send their output to their parent logger.So we can say Parent Logger is a type of handler for child logger.
Syntax:
public void addHandler(Handler handler)
throws SecurityException
Parameters: This method accepts one parameter handler which represents a logging Handler.
Return value: This method returns nothing.
Exception: This method throws SecurityException if a security manager exists, this logger is not anonymous, and the caller does not have LoggingPermission(“control”).
Below programs illustrate the isLoggable() method:
Program 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// Logger.addHandler() methodimport java.util.logging.*;import java.io.IOException;public class GFG { private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( GFG.class.getName()); public static void main(String args[]) throws SecurityException, IOException { // Create a file handler object FileHandler handler = new FileHandler("logs.txt"); // Add file handler as // handler of logs logger.addHandler(handler); // Log message logger.info("This is Info Message "); logger.log(Level.WARNING, "Warning Message"); }} |
Output:
The output printed on logs.txt file is shown below-
addHandler
Program 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// Logger.addHandler() methodimport java.util.logging.*;import java.io.IOException;public class GFG { private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( GFG.class.getName()); public static void main(String args[]) throws SecurityException, IOException { // Create a ConsoleHandler object ConsoleHandler handler = new ConsoleHandler(); // Add console handler as // handler of logs logger.addHandler(handler); // Log message logger.info("This is Info Message "); logger.log(Level.WARNING, "Warning Message"); }} |
The output printed on console output is shown below-
addHandler(java.util.logging.Handler)
