public final class Util extends Object
Provides various utility functions needed by the trace formatter

  • Field Details

  • Method Details

    • initStatics

      protected static final void initStatics()
      Initializes static variables.

      This is called each time the TraceFormatter is started, from the initStatics() method in TraceFormat.java

    • putThreadID

      protected static final void putThreadID(Long threadID)
      puts a thread ID into a hashtable telling the formatter that this thread ID is one that should be traced
      Parameters:
      threadID - a string representation of a hexidecimal thread id

    • findThreadID

      protected static final boolean findThreadID(Long threadID)
      retrieve whether of not the given id is in a hashtable. if the table is null that means that no ids were added, since the default behavior is all id this returns true
      Parameters:
      threadID - a string representation of a hexidecimal thread id
      Returns:
      a boolean that is true if the id was added to the table or if the table is null

    • putComponent

      protected static final void putComponent(String comp)
      puts a component name into a hashtable telling the formatter that this component is one that should be traced. In this case all types of entries are formatted for this component
      Parameters:
      comp - a string representation of a component in the jvm

    • putComponent

      protected static final void putComponent(String comp, Vector types)
      puts a component name into a hashtable telling the formatter that this component is one that should be traced. In this case only the types of entries specified in types are formatted for this component
      Parameters:
      comp - a string representation of a component in the jvm
      types - a vector of string for the type of trace entries to format (ie, Entry, Exit, Exception, etc)

    • findComponentAndType

      protected static final boolean findComponentAndType(String comp, String type)
      determines if a particular component and type is to be formatted
      Parameters:
      comp - a string representation of a component in the jvm
      types - a string for the type of trace entry to format (ie, Entry, Exit, Exception, etc)
      Returns:
      a boolean that is true if this component and type was added to the table or if the table is null

    • constructUnsignedLong

      protected static final BigInteger constructUnsignedLong(byte[] data, int offset)
      Construct a BigInteger from an array of bytes. BigIntegers are used to get around problems caused by the lack of unsigned primitive type.
      Parameters:
      data - an array of bytes
      offset - offset to the first byte to use to create the BigInteger
      Returns:
      a positive BigInteger constructed from the byte array

    • constructUnsignedLong

      protected static final BigInteger constructUnsignedLong(byte[] data, int offset, int numBytes)
      Construct a BigInteger from an array of bytes. BigIntegers are used to get around problems caused by the lack of unsigned primitive type.
      Parameters:
      data - an array of bytes
      offset - offset to the first byte to use to create the BigInteger
      numBytes - the length of this BigInteger in bytes
      Returns:
      a positive BigInteger constructed from the byte array

    • constructTraceID

      protected static final int constructTraceID(byte[] data, int offset)

    • constructUnsignedInt

      protected static final long constructUnsignedInt(byte[] data, int offset)

    • constructUnsignedByte

      protected static final int constructUnsignedByte(byte[] data, int offset)

    • constructString

      protected static final String constructString(byte[] data, int offset)
      Constructs a string from an array of bytes, encoding is as specified in the properties

    • constructString

      protected static final String constructString(byte[] data, int offset, String enc)
      Constructs a string from an array of bytes, with the specified encoding (ASCII or EBCDIC?)

    • constructString

      protected static final String constructString(byte[] data, int offset, int count)
      Constructs a string from an array of bytes with a count, encoding is as specified in the properties

      encoding -

    • constructString

      protected static final String constructString(byte[] data, int offset, int count, String enc)
      Constructs a string from an array of bytes with an offset and count, with the specified encoding (ASCII or EBCDIC).

      a string

    • getProperty

      protected static final String getProperty(String key, String defaultValue)
