Interface DebugTrace
-
public interface DebugTrace
A DebugTrace is used to record debug trace statements, based on the current option settings in a correspondingDebugOptions
class. The trace implementation will automatically insert additional contextual information such as the bundle, class, and method performing the tracing.Trace statements may be written to a file, or onto standard output, depending on how the
DebugOptions
is configured (SeeDebugOptions.setFile(java.io.File)
).All methods on this class have an optional
option
argument. When specified, this argument will cause the tracing to be conditional on the value ofDebugOptions.getBooleanOption(String, boolean)
, where the bundle's symbolic name will automatically be prepended to the provided option string. For example, if your bundle symbolic name is "com.acme.bundle", and you provide an option argument of "/debug/parser", the trace will only be printed if the option "com.acme.bundle/debug/parser" has a value of "true".Note that the pipe character ("|") is reserved for internal use. If this character happens to occur in any of the thread name, the option, the message or an Exception message, it will be escaped to the corresponding HTML representation ("|").

Method Detail
-
trace
void trace(String option, String message)
Traces a message for the specified option.- Parameters:
option
- The name of the boolean option that will control whether the trace statement is printed (e.g., "/debug/myComponent"), ornull
message
- The trace message to display
-
trace
void trace(String option, String message, Throwable error)
Traces a message and exception for the specified option.- Parameters:
option
- The name of the boolean option that will control whether the trace statement is printed (e.g., "/debug/myComponent"), ornull
message
- The trace message to displayerror
- The exception to trace
-
traceDumpStack
void traceDumpStack(String option)
Adds a trace message showing a thread stack dump for the current class and method being executed for the specified option.- Parameters:
option
- The name of the boolean option that will control whether the trace statement is printed (e.g., "/debug/myComponent"), ornull
-
traceEntry
void traceEntry(String option)
Add a trace message level stating that a method is being executed for the specified option.- Parameters:
option
- The name of the boolean option that will control whether the trace statement is printed (e.g., "/debug/myComponent"), ornull
-
traceEntry
void traceEntry(String option, Object methodArgument)
Add a trace message level stating that a method with the specified argument values is being executed for the specified option. The result ofString.valueOf(Object)
on the methodArgument will be written to the trace file.- Parameters:
option
- The name of the boolean option that will control whether the trace statement is printed (e.g., "/debug/myComponent"), ornull
methodArgument
- The single argument for the method being executed
-
traceEntry
void traceEntry(String option, Object[] methodArguments)
Add a trace message level stating that a method with the specified arguments values is being executed for the specified option. The result ofString.valueOf(Object)
on each argument will be written to the trace file.- Parameters:
option
- The name of the boolean option that will control whether the trace statement is printed (e.g., "/debug/myComponent"), ornull
methodArguments
- A list of object arguments for the method being executed
-
traceExit
void traceExit(String option)
Add a trace message level stating that a method has completed execution for the specified option.- Parameters:
option
- The name of the boolean option that will control whether the trace statement is printed (e.g., "/debug/myComponent"), ornull
-
traceExit
void traceExit(String option, Object result)
Add a trace message level stating that a method with the specified result value has completed execution for the specified option. The result ofString.valueOf(Object)
on the result object will be written to the trace file.- Parameters:
option
- The name of the boolean option that will control whether the trace statement is printed (e.g., "/debug/myComponent"), ornull
result
- The result being returned from the method that was executed
