Handling MobiLink server errors in Java through Implementing LogListener Interface

When scanning the log is not sufficient, you can monitor your applications programmatically. For example, you can send messages of a certain type in an email.
You can write methods that are passed a class representing every error or warning message that is printed to the log. This may help you monitor and audit a MobiLink server.
The following code installs a LogListener for all warning messages, and writes the information to a file.

class TestLogListener implements LogListener {
  FileOutputStream _out_file;
  public TestLogListener( FileOutputStream out_file ) {
    _out_file       = out_file;
  }

  public void messageLogged(  ServerContext   sc,
    LogMessage msg ) {
    String  type;
    String  user;
    try {
      if(msg.getType() == LogMessage.ERROR) {
        type = "ERROR";
      } else if(msg.getType() == LogMessage.WARNING) {
        type = "WARNING";
      } else {
        type = "UNKNOWN!!!";
      }

      user = msg.getUser();
      if( user == null ) {
        user = "NULL";
      }
      _out_file.write(
        ("Caught msg type=" + type +
         " user=" + user +
         " text=" +msg.getText() +
         "\n").getBytes() );
      _out_file.flush();
    } catch( Exception e ) {
      // Print some error output to the MobiLink log.
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

The following code registers TestLogListener to receive warning messages. Call this code from anywhere that has access to the ServerContext such as a class constructor or synchronization script.

// ServerContext serv_context; serv_context.addWarningListener(       new MyLogListener( ll_out_file ));
