Class AccessLogAuditReader

java.lang.Object
  org.jwall.web.audit.io.AbstractAuditEventReader
      org.jwall.web.audit.io.AccessLogAuditReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<AuditEvent>, AuditEventReader

public class AccessLogAuditReader
extends AbstractAuditEventReader

This simple class creates small AuditEvent objects from a line of an web-server access log. The resulting events are not complete, i.e. they do not include the complete header.

Constructor Detail

AccessLogAuditReader

public AccessLogAuditReader(File accessLogFile,
                            boolean tail)
                     throws IOException

This creates an instance of this class that reads from the given file accessLogFile.

Parameters:

accessLogFile - The file to read events from.

Throws:

IOException - In case a reader on this file cannot be created.

AccessLogAuditReader

public AccessLogAuditReader(File accessLogFile)
                     throws IOException

This creates an instance of this class that reads from the given file accessLogFile.

Parameters:

accessLogFile - The file to read events from.

Throws:

IOException - In case a reader on this file cannot be created.

AccessLogAuditReader

public AccessLogAuditReader(InputStream in)

Method Detail

readNext

public AuditEvent readNext()

This method reads the next line from the underlying file and creates an AuditEvent-object from it.

Specified by:

readNext in interface AuditEventReader

Specified by:

readNext in class AbstractAuditEventReader

Returns:

The next audit-event from or NULL if no event is available.

See Also:

AuditEventReader.readNext()

splitAccessLine

public static String[] splitAccessLine(String input)

This method splits the given line into tokens. In contrast to the java-native split, it preserves quoted strings.

Parameters:

input - The string to be split into parts.

Returns:

An array of strings that are parts of the original string.

createEvent

public static AuditEvent createEvent(String accessLine)
                              throws Exception

This method create an audit-event from the given access-line. The line is splitted into parts and an intermediate-data buffer is created, holding a pseudo http-header and simple audit-log sections.

Parameters:

accessLine - The line to create the event from.

Returns:

An audit-event instance.

Throws:

Exception - In case anything goes wrong ;-)

iterator

public Iterator<AuditEvent> iterator()
