Interface AccessLog

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractAccessLogValve, AccessLogAdapter, AccessLogValve, ExtendedAccessLogValve, JDBCAccessLogValve, StandardEngine.NoopAccessLog

public interface AccessLog

Intended for use by a Valve to indicate that the Valve provides access logging. It is used by the Tomcat internals to identify a Valve that logs access requests so requests that are rejected earlier in the processing chain can still be added to the access log. Implementations of this interface should be robust against the provided Request and Response objects being null, having null attributes or any other 'oddness' that may result from attempting to log a request that was almost certainly rejected because it was mal-formed.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static String	PROTOCOL_ATTRIBUTE Name of request attribute used to override the protocol recorded by the AccessLog.
static String	REMOTE_ADDR_ATTRIBUTE Name of request attribute used to override the remote address recorded by the AccessLog.
static String	REMOTE_HOST_ATTRIBUTE Name of request attribute used to override remote host name recorded by the AccessLog.
static String	SERVER_PORT_ATTRIBUTE Name of request attribute used to override the server port recorded by the AccessLog.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	getRequestAttributesEnabled()
void	log(Request request, Response response, long time) Add the request/response to the access log using the specified processing time.
void	setRequestAttributesEnabled(boolean requestAttributesEnabled) Should this valve set request attributes for IP address, Hostname, protocol and port used for the request?

Method Detail

log

void log(Request request,
         Response response,
         long time)

Add the request/response to the access log using the specified processing time.

Parameters:

request - Request (associated with the response) to log

response - Response (associated with the request) to log

time - Time taken to process the request/response in milliseconds (use 0 if not known)

setRequestAttributesEnabled

void setRequestAttributesEnabled(boolean requestAttributesEnabled)

Should this valve set request attributes for IP address, Hostname, protocol and port used for the request? This are typically used in conjunction with the AccessLogValve which will otherwise log the original values. Default is true. The attributes set are:

• org.apache.catalina.RemoteAddr
• org.apache.catalina.RemoteHost
• org.apache.catalina.Protocol
• org.apache.catalina.ServerPost

Parameters:

requestAttributesEnabled - true causes the attributes to be set, false disables the setting of the attributes.

getRequestAttributesEnabled

boolean getRequestAttributesEnabled()

Returns:

true if the attributes will be logged, otherwise false
