Re: Problem with LocationInfo class

[Paul Glezen <pg...@us.ibm.com>]

I'm experiencing the problem with a modified version of the 1.0.4 code.  I
haven't been able to build the CVS version on WinNT, where I'm having the
problem, but I didn't see anything in the CVS source that would change this
behavior.

We discussed earlier how supplying the FQN to the Category would fix "the
problem."  But back then, "the problem" had to do with the case where
l7dlog was overridden by the Category subclass.  When the Category.l7dlog
was changed to call forcedLog, making the override unnecessary, the stack
trace changed.  The subcategory is no longer the last entry before the
caller.  Rather, the category log method is.  At my customer site, I've
fixed this locally by changing the subcategory constructor to NOT alter the
instanceFQN (which is only possible with the 1.0.4 version since the needed
constructor is not available in the present CVS version).

Does this seem correct?  I won't be able to verify the current CVS behavior
for sure until I either get home to build it on Linux or learn Ant for NT
(which I'm working on).

Paul,

I think we are in luck as there seems to be an easy an general solution. It is demonstrated by four classes A, B, C, D and a test class T.

--------------------------------------- A.java
public class  A {

  static String FCQN = "A";

  public
  void foo() {
    System.err.println("In A.foo()");
    inner(FCQN);
  }

  public
  void inner(String fqcnGuess) {
    System.err.println("In A.inner()");    
    Exception e = new Exception();
    e.printStackTrace();
    System.err.println("guess:"+fqcnGuess);    
  }

}

---------------------------------------- B.java
public class B extends A {

  static String FCQN = "B";

  public
  void foo() {
    System.err.println("In B.foo()");
    inner(FCQN);
  }
}

------------------------------------------ C.java
public class C extends A {

  static String FCQN = "C";

  public
  void inner(String fqcnGuess) {
    System.err.println("In C.inner()");
    Exception e = new Exception();
    e.printStackTrace();
    System.err.println("guess:"+fqcnGuess);    
  }

}

------------------------------- D.java 
public class  D extends A {

  static String FCQN = "D";


  public
  void foo() {
    System.err.println("In D.foo()");
    inner(FCQN);
  }

  public
  void inner(String fqcnGuess) {
    System.err.println("In D.inner()");    
    Exception e = new Exception();
    e.printStackTrace();
    System.err.println("guess:"+fqcnGuess);    
  }

}

---------------------------------- T.java 

public class T {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    A a = new A();
    A b = new B();
    A c = new C();
    A d = new D();

    System.err.println("---------------------------");
    a.foo();

    System.err.println("---------------------------");
    b.foo();

    System.err.println("---------------------------");
    c.foo();

    System.err.println("---------------------------");
    d.foo();

    System.err.println("---------------------------");
    new A().foo();

    System.err.println("---------------------------");
    new B().foo();

    System.err.println("---------------------------");
    new C().foo();

    System.err.println("---------------------------");
    new D().foo();
  }
}

If you actually run this, you will notice that the guess is always correct. I'll move the code to this simpler and more solid implementation, unless you want to do it, Paul.. Cheers, Ceki
