ConsoleHandler

Class Overview

This Handler publishes log records to System.err. By default the SimpleFormatter is used to generate brief summaries.

Configuration: By default each ConsoleHandler is initialized using the following LogManager configuration properties. If properties are not defined (or have invalid values) then the specified default values are used.

• java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level specifies the default level for the Handler (defaults to Level.INFO).
• java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.filter specifies the name of a Filter class to use (defaults to no Filter).
• java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter specifies the name of a Formatter class to use (defaults to java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter).
• java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.encoding the name of the character set encoding to use (defaults to the default platform encoding).

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
