All Implemented Interfaces:
Lifecycle, Valve

public final class AccessLogValve
extends ValveBase
implements Lifecycle

Implementation of the Valve interface that generates a web server access log with the detailed line contents matching a configurable pattern. The syntax of the available patterns is similar to that supported by the Apache mod_log_config module. As an additional feature, automatic rollover of log files when the date changes is also supported.

Patterns for the logged message may include constant text or any of the following replacement strings, for which the corresponding information from the specified Response is substituted:

In addition, the caller can specify one of the following aliases for commonly utilized patterns: FIXME - Improve the parsing so that things like %{xxx}i can be implemented.

javax.servlet.ServletException - if a servlet error has occurred

log

public void log(java.lang.String message)

Specified by:
removeLifecycleListener in interface Lifecycle
Parameters:
listener - The listener to add

start

public void start()
           throws LifecycleException
Prepare for the beginning of active use of the public methods of this component. This method should be called after configure(), and before any of the public methods of the component are utilized.
Specified by:
