"Transactional" logger

cfillot Jan 30, 2013 10:55 AM

Hello,

I would like to use a java.util.logging.Logger in a transactional way, meaning that logs should be written only if the transaction is successfully committed.

I began to read some docs about Transaction Managers, XAResource, etc, but I'm not familiar at all with this domain.

Has someone some hints or ideas on how to implement this ?

Thanks in advance

If you can deal with the logger output not being written in the event of a crash then you just call the logger from an afterCompletion() hook. If you need real transactional behavour then use http://www.jboss.org/jbosstm/fileio/ to underpin the logger.
