+<body><h2>Tuscany
+Monitoring</h2>
+<h3>Overview</h3>
+<p>Monitoring or as it's more commonly called logging
+ is a means of providing runtime diagnostic
+statements in the code. In Tuscany the means to do
+this has changed from the conventional factory
+pattern to an IOC type pattern of having the container provide or also
+known as inject the monitor (logger) class. The following
+sections will first describe how a component goes about obtaining the
+monitor class, how the framework is extended, and how it's
+initialized.</p><h3>Monitoring</h3>The
+first step is to provide an interface that you want to use
+to call monitor statements (logging). Here is an
+example:<br><span style="font-family: monospace;"></span><table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td><pre><code>import org.apache.tuscany.common.monitor.LogLevel;<br><br>public interface MyLoggingInterface{</code></pre><pre><code> <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">@LogLevel("INFO")</span><br> public void methodCalled(String methodName, Object[] args);</code></pre><pre><code> <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">@LogLevel("SEVERE")</span><br> public void methodReturned(String methodName, Object args);</code></pre><pre><code> }</code></pre></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: monospace;"><br></span>Was
+there something special about the name of this class ? No.<br>Did
+it need to implement another interface ? No that's why it didn't :-)<br>Was
+the names of the methods special? No, just personal preference.<br>Was
+the signature of the methods special? No could have been anything.<br><br>The
+interface may have to have a public accessor if its to
+be used in other packages and as well as the methods. It can
+even be a static interface that in another class (inner interface?).<br>The <code><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">@LogLevel("SEVERE")</span></span></code>
+is Java annotation that sets<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/Level.html" target="_blank"> level </a>the logging
+should be at for this method to actually write log records; otherwise, the method produces no logging.<code><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span><br><br></span></code>Next
+is to obtain an instance of this interface to do the actual monitoring.
+ This follows the same pattern as how a
+reference to another SCA component is obtained when implementing an SCA
+component; specifically, create a field and a setter method for the
+field, but instead of using the @Reference annotation you use the
+@Monitor annotation. Here is an example:<br><br><table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td><code>...<br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">import
+org.apache.tuscany.core.system.annotation.Monitor</span>;
+ <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">//this
+needs to be included for the annotation.</span><br>...<br>public
+class foobar {<br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> @Monitor</span><br>
+protected MyLoggingInterface myLogger; <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">//Instance is inserted by
+container</span><br> <br>
+<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">@Monitor</span><br>
+public void setMyLoggingClass(MyLoggingInterface myLoggingClass) {<br>
+this.myLogger = myLoggingClass;<br>
+}<br>...<br>}</code><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br>There is no need to supply in the SCDL wiring for this reference.<br><br><br>To
+actually log, simply use the methods of the interface. As an example<br><table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td>...<br> <code>public
+String getGreetings(String name) {<br>
+<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">myLogger.methodCalled(
+"getGreetings", new
+Object[]{name});</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">//log
+this "event"</span><br>
+String ret="Hello " + name; <br>
+<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">myLogger.methodReturned("getGreetings",
+ret);<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">// log this event</span><br>
+return ret;<br> }<br>...</code></td></tr></tbody></table><br>That
+pretty much wraps up how you actually add monitoring (logging)
+to your code.<br><br><h3>Extending Monitoring</h3>To
+extend or define your own monitor you need to simply create a
+class that implements one interface: <code>org.apache.tuscany.common.monitor.MonitorFactory</code>
+that has only one method <code>getMonitor</code>. Couldn't be
+simpler. Here is the interface:<br><table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td><code>public
+interface MonitorFactory {<br> /**<br>
+* Return a monitor for a component's monitor interface.<br>
+*<br> * @param
+monitorInterface the component's monitoring interface<br>
+* @return an implementation of the monitoring interface; will not be
+null<br> */<br>
+<T> T getMonitor(Class<T> monitorInterface);<br>}</code></td></tr></tbody></table><br>Oh,
+forgot to mention it uses Java 1.5 generics. For those not
+familar with this.. simply said for the <code>getMonitor
+</code>method given any interface (or class) as a
+parameter return an instance of that interface. <br><table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" frame="lhs"><tbody><tr><td>
+ Side line: <code><T></code>
+notifies you that <code>T</code> can be any Object. So the <code>T </code>before
+<code>getMonitor</code> means return an instance of type object <code>T</code> given
+the parameter type <code>Class<T>. </code><code>Class<T>
+</code>is an interface (or class) that is of type <code>T</code>.
+ </td></tr></tbody></table><br><br>There
+are two implementations currently in Tuscany that demonstrate
+how to extend the Monitoring infrastructure:<br>
+<br><table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td>org.apache.tuscany.common.monitor.impl.NullMonitorFactory</td><td>Simply
+throws the logging messages away.</td></tr><tr><td>org.apache.tuscany.common.monitor.impl.JavaLoggingMonitorFactory</td><td>Uses
+Java logging infrastructure to back the Monitoring
+implementation.</td></tr></tbody></table><br>Looking at the simple one
+first <code>NullMonitorFactory</code> all the
+<code>getMonitor</code> method returns is a Java proxy that implements the interface
+passed in. <br><br><table style="text-align: left; width: 100%; margin-left: 40px;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td><code>public
+class NullMonitorFactory implements MonitorFactory {<br> public
+<T> T getMonitor(Class<T> monitorInterface)
+{<br>
+return
+monitorInterface.cast(Proxy.newProxyInstance(monitorInterface.getClassLoader(),
+new Class<?>[]{monitorInterface}, NULL_MONITOR));<br>
+}<br> private static final
+InvocationHandler NULL_MONITOR = new InvocationHandler() {<br>
+public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args) {<br>
+return null;<br>
+}<br> };<br>}</code></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="margin-left: 40px;">The
+<code>monitorInterface.cast(...)</code> is just a cast of
+the proxy to the interface passed in and what is expected to be
+returned.<br>The first argument is to use the same
+classloader
+that loaded the interface.<br>The second argument <code>new
+Class<?>[]{monitorInterface) </code> is just an array
+of any
+Classes or Interfaces (type as any is signified by the
+<?>) that contains one interface
+.. monitorInterface that needs to
+be implemented by the handler.<br>The last argument
+ NULL_MONITOR is a Java Invocation handler for a proxy.
+ Regardless of the method called it just does a return null
+(i.e nothing).<br><br></div> Looking at
+ JavaLoggingMonitorFactory you can see it's a wrapper for the<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/util/logging/overview.html" target="_blank"> Java logging utility</a>.
+ In principle it's not much more than
+the NullMonitorFactory with the following enhancements:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">The proxies field simply provides
+a cache for instances of the interfaces. There doesn't need to
+be a unique instance for each interface since there is no state differences kept between
+an two of the same interfaces.<br>The logging levels on the
+methods on any interface can be initialized with a Properties object.
+that has keys with the format <<span style="font-style: italic;">className</span>>#<<span style="font-style: italic;">methodName</span>>
+and value of the level (eq<code>
+MyLoggingInterface#</code><code>methodReturned=</code><code style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">SEVERE)</code><br><code style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></code>If the Properties
+does not have a level for the method the interface is introspected for
+the LogLevel annotation to determine its logging level.<br></div><div style="margin-left: 40px;">The Invocation handler uses Java
+logging to log a record. The actual text message is
+gotten from a resource bundle passed into
+the JavaLoggingMonitorFactory class when it was
+created. The key in that resource bundle is the same as the
+for the properties file that defines the level and the value is the
+actual message.<br><br>
+</div>
+<h3>Monitor Initialization</h3>The only aspect that is directly
+Tuscany specific with regard to initializing monitoring is
+providing the org.apache.tuscany.core.client.TuscanyRuntime a
+monitoring factory when the runtime is created. By default it
+will use the previously discussed NullMonitorFactory. Of course
+each specific monitor factory implementation may have it's own
+initialization requirements. The default, NullMonitorFactory
+requires no additional initialization.
+ The JavaLoggingMonitorFactory monitor requires the
+previously discussed Java Properties to initialization the logging
+levels of the interface methods, a default Java logging
+level that is used if none is found in the Properties, or through
+introspection of the Interface LogLevel annotations, and the name
+of the resource bundle to be used.</body></html>
