RIALogger and RIALoggerApp
RIALogger and RIALoggerApp - (Flex 2+ / Flash Player 9)
2008.08.26 Updated to RIALogger/RIALoggerApp version 2
Overview:
The RIALogger class the Flex Log and logging Target classes. It provides a simple approach to logging messages with category information. There are also supporting classes to providing hooks into multiple targets. LogController class supports the following logging targets by default: RIALoggerTarget, TraceTarget (trace()), XPanelTarget, and FlexTracePanelTarget. RIALogger also provides the "test" method which is used by the TestPoint approach and RIALoggerApp.
To setup a logging target with the LogController class:
-
<renaun:LogController
-
id="lc"
-
defaultTarget="RIALogger"
-
defaultFilter="*"
-
identifier="MyAPPId" />
This class differs from the Log class by providing static debug, error, info,
warn method calls to abstract the complexity of creating a LogTarget for each instance where you need logging.
-
// Information log method
-
RIALogger.info( this, "myFunction did not call sample text" );
-
RIALogger.info( MyClass, "myFunction did not call sample text" );
-
RIALogger.info( "custom category", "myFunction did not call sample text" );
-
-
// Inserting parameters into a string
-
RIALogger.debug( this, "My Object {0} here I come", "Fred" );
-
// output: My Object Fred here I come
-
-
// TestPoint messages
-
RIALogger.test( MyClass, "myTestPoint", {prop1:"value1"});
