Class ContextMap

java.lang.Object

org.apache.log.ContextMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Deprecated.

Will be dropped in 3.3

@Deprecated
public final class ContextMap
extends Object
implements Serializable

The ContextMap contains non-hierarchical context information relevant to a particular LogEvent. It may include information such as;

• user ->fred
• hostname ->helm.realityforge.org
• ipaddress ->1.2.3.4
• interface ->127.0.0.1
• caller ->com.biz.MyCaller.method(MyCaller.java:18)
• source ->1.6.3.2:33

The context is bound to a thread (and inherited by sub-threads) but it can also be added to by LogTargets.

parent - the parent ContextMap

Method Detail

getCurrentContext

public static final ContextMap getCurrentContext()

Deprecated.

Get the Current ContextMap. This method returns a ContextMap associated with current thread. If the thread doesn't have a ContextMap associated with it then a new ContextMap is created.

Returns:

the current ContextMap

getCurrentContext

public static final ContextMap getCurrentContext(boolean autocreate)

Deprecated.

Get the Current ContextMap. This method returns a ContextMap associated with current thread. If the thread doesn't have a ContextMap associated with it and autocreate is true then a new ContextMap is created.

Parameters:

autocreate - true if a ContextMap is to be created if it doesn't exist

Returns:

the current ContextMap

bind

public static final void bind(ContextMap context)

Deprecated.

Bind a particular ContextMap to current thread.

Parameters:

context - the context map (may be null)

makeReadOnly

public void makeReadOnly()

Deprecated.

Make the context read-only. This makes it safe to allow untrusted code reference to ContextMap.

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

Deprecated.

Determine if context is read-only.

Returns:

true if Context is read only, false otherwise

clear

public void clear()

Deprecated.

Empty the context map.

get

public Object get(String key,
                  Object defaultObject)

Get an entry from the context.

Parameters:

key - the key to map

defaultObject - a default object to return if key does not exist

Returns:

the object in context

get

public Object get(String key)

Deprecated.

Get an entry from the context.

Parameters:

key - the key to map

Returns:

the object in context or null if none with specified key

set

public void set(String key,
                Object value)

Deprecated.

Set a value in context

Parameters:

key - the key

value - the value (may be null)

getSize

public int getSize()

Deprecated.

Get the number of contexts in map.

Returns:
