Interface IMessageHandler

All Known Subinterfaces:

All Known Implementing Classes:

CountingMessageHandler, DefaultMessageHandler, MessageHandler, MessageWriter, PinpointingMessageHandler, WeavingAdaptor.WeavingAdaptorMessageHolder, WeavingAdaptor.WeavingAdaptorMessageWriter

public interface IMessageHandler

Handle messages, logging and/or aborting as appropriate. Implementations define which messages are logged and whether the handler aborts the process. For messages that are costly to construct, clients may query isIgnoring(IMessage.Kind) to avoid construction if the message will be ignored. Clients passing messages to an IMessageHandler should not interfere with aborts by catching AbortException unless otherwise required by their logic or the message handler.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static final IMessageHandler	SYSTEM_ERR	print all to System.err and throw AbortException on failure or abort messages
static final IMessageHandler	SYSTEM_OUT	print all to System.out but do not throw AbortException on failure or abort messages
static final IMessageHandler	THROW	Throw exceptions for anything with ERROR or greater severity

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	dontIgnore(IMessage.Kind kind)	Allow fine grained configuration after initialization.
boolean	handleMessage(IMessage message)	Handle message, by reporting and/or throwing an AbortException.
void	ignore(IMessage.Kind kind)	Allow fine grained configuration after initialization.
boolean	isIgnoring(IMessage.Kind kind)	Signal clients whether this will ignore messages of a given type.

Field Details

SYSTEM_ERR

static final IMessageHandler SYSTEM_ERR

print all to System.err and throw AbortException on failure or abort messages

SYSTEM_OUT

static final IMessageHandler SYSTEM_OUT

print all to System.out but do not throw AbortException on failure or abort messages

THROW

static final IMessageHandler THROW

Throw exceptions for anything with ERROR or greater severity

Method Details

handleMessage

boolean handleMessage(IMessage message)
               throws AbortException

Handle message, by reporting and/or throwing an AbortException.

Parameters:

message - the IMessage to handle - never null

Returns:

true if this message was handled by this handler

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if message is null

AbortException - depending on handler logic.

isIgnoring

boolean isIgnoring(IMessage.Kind kind)

Signal clients whether this will ignore messages of a given type. Clients may use this to avoid constructing or sending certain messages.

Returns:

true if this handler is ignoring all messages of this type

dontIgnore

void dontIgnore(IMessage.Kind kind)

Allow fine grained configuration after initialization. Minaly used in LTW. Most of the implementation can have this method be a no-op.

Parameters:

kind -

ignore

void ignore(IMessage.Kind kind)

Allow fine grained configuration after initialization.

Parameters:

kind -
