Method Detail

setMainArguments

public static void setMainArguments(String... args)

An application's public static main(String[]) method calls this method to make its main arguments available for lookup with the prefix main.

The map provides two kinds of access: First by index, starting at "0", "1" and so on. For example, the command line --file path/file.txt -x 2 can be accessed from a configuration file with:

• "main:0" = "--file"
• "main:1" = "path/file.txt"
• "main:2" = "-x"
• "main:3" = "2"

Second using the argument at position n as the key to access the value at n+1.

• "main:--file" = "path/file.txt"
• "main:-x" = "2"

Parameters:

args - An application's public static main(String[]) arguments.

lookup

public String lookup(LogEvent event,
                     String key)

Description copied from interface: StrLookup

Looks up a String key to a String value possibly using the current LogEvent.

The internal implementation may use any mechanism to return the value. The simplest implementation is to use a Map. However, virtually any implementation is possible.

For example, it would be possible to implement a lookup that used the key as a primary key, and looked up the value on demand from the database Or, a numeric based implementation could be created that treats the key as an integer, increments the value and return the result as a string - converting 1 to 2, 15 to 16 etc.

This method always returns a String, regardless of the underlying data, by converting it as necessary. For example:

 Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
 map.put("number", new Integer(2));
 assertEquals("2", StrLookup.mapLookup(map).lookup("number"));
 

Specified by:

lookup in interface StrLookup

Overrides:

lookup in class MapLookup

Parameters:

event - The current LogEvent.

key - the key to be looked up, may be null

Returns:

the matching value, null if no match

lookup

public String lookup(String key)

Description copied from class: MapLookup

Looks up a String key to a String value using the map.

If the map is null, then null is returned. The map result object is converted to a string using toString().

Specified by:

lookup in interface StrLookup

Overrides:

lookup in class MapLookup

Parameters:

key - the key to be looked up, may be null

Returns:

the matching value, null if no match
