Interface Handler

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractHandler

public interface Handler

A Handler object recieves a log record from a Logger. The Handler formats and then exports the log message. The Handler might, for example, generate log messages for Weblogic's log, or an email, or a file, or a database, etc... The burden of formatting the message is separated from the handler through the use of a Formatter. A Handler typically has a Formatter associated with it, which performs the formatting of the log message.
