Member Function Documentation

◆ appendFooter()

virtual void log4cxx::Layout::appendFooter ( LogString &  output,
log4cxx::helpers::Pool p 
)
virtual

Append the footer for the layout format.

The base class does nothing.

Reimplemented in log4cxx::HTMLLayout.

◆ appendHeader()

virtual void log4cxx::Layout::appendHeader ( LogString &  output,
log4cxx::helpers::Pool p 
)
virtual

Append the header for the layout format.

The base class does nothing.

Reimplemented in log4cxx::HTMLLayout.

◆ getContentType()

virtual LogString log4cxx::Layout::getContentType ( ) const
virtual

Returns the content type output by this layout.

The base class returns "text/plain".

Reimplemented in log4cxx::JSONLayout, and log4cxx::HTMLLayout.

◆ ignoresThrowable()

virtual bool log4cxx::Layout::ignoresThrowable ( ) const
pure virtual

If the layout handles the throwable object contained within LoggingEvent, then the layout should return false.

Otherwise, if the layout ignores throwable object, then the layout should return true.

The SimpleLayout, TTCCLayout, PatternLayout all return true. The XMLLayout returns false.

Implemented in log4cxx::PatternLayout, log4cxx::TTCCLayout, log4cxx::xml::XMLLayout, log4cxx::JSONLayout, log4cxx::HTMLLayout, and log4cxx::SimpleLayout.
