Shutdown hook to close logger context ------------------------------------- Key: LBCORE-202 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-202 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Improvement Components: Other Affects Versions: 0.9.27 Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho Assignee: Logback dev list I'm using header and footer with my file appender and would like footers to be present in file when processes exit (JUnit tests mainly). I figured out a to achieve this by using status listeners and logger context (presented below) combined with shutdown hook. This is something that logback jar could probably in one form or another (spring framework for instance has similar feature for their context). public class ShutdownHookStatusListener extends ContextAwareBase implements StatusListener, LifeCycle { private Thread shutdownHook; @Override public void addStatusEvent(Status status) { } @Override public boolean isStarted() { return this.shutdownHook != null; } @Override public void start() { if (!this.isStarted()) { this.shutdownHook = new Thread() { @Override public void run() { LoggerContext loggerContext = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory .getILoggerFactory(); loggerContext.stop(); } }; Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime(); runtime.addShutdownHook(this.shutdownHook); } } @Override public void stop() { if (this.isStarted()) { Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime(); runtime.removeShutdownHook(this.shutdownHook); this.shutdownHook = null; } } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
