Nested Class Summary

static class	LogEntryMatcher.InitializationContext
static class	LogEntryMatcher.Operation

Method Summary

List<LogEntry>	entries() Returns all the relevant entries this matcher accumulated.
void	initialize(LogEntryMatcher.InitializationContext context) Called on the loggable component side (server) before starting to traverse the log file.
LogEntryMatcher.Operation	match(LogEntry entry) Controls if the traversal of the log file should continue, or break.

Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(LogEntryMatcher.InitializationContext context)
                throws IOException

Called on the loggable component side (server) before starting to traverse the log file.

Throws:

IOException

entries

List<LogEntry> entries()

Returns all the relevant entries this matcher accumulated.

Note, for ease of use in implementing the matcher, the entries are assumed to be from newest to oldest (if the matcher value order).

match

LogEntryMatcher.Operation match(LogEntry entry)

Controls if the traversal of the log file should continue, or break. If it should break, then all the entries() accumulated will be returned.
