LogManager should offer a method to decompose "log headers" created by
getHeader()
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-1087
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1087
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: DSpace API
Reporter: Mark H. Wood
Attachments: LogManager.patch
LogManager.getHeader creates a structured log message header which is clearly
meant to be machine-readable. However, there is no corresponding method for
recovering the component data from such a header. Coders wishing to read log
messages back in must know intimate details of how getHeader works and hope
that it doesn't change. The principle of separation of concerns suggests that
LogManager should keep this knowledge local by providing a decomposer for the
serialized structures which it composes. See attached patch for an attempt at
adding this.
Note that this is only part of the problem. The logging package(s) used by
DSpace are typically configured to prepend a timestamp, severity, source
classname, and other stuff when rendering messages. Such configuration is
outside of DSpace, so that part of cracking a log message properly belongs to
the logging package. At best, we might define a configurable regular
expression to match the logging package's configured prefix, and perhaps
provide a stock method to employ that expression for extracting a log line's
components. It would be up to the site to ensure that the regex is kept in
sync. with any changes to the configuration of log appenders.
