Give us code for being thread safe then - i always avoided that stuff! My suggestions:-
If voumes are low - use Log4J or similar - minimal work If you have a really fast database do it from a normal class, key DB table on the URL - the database locking will take care of concurrent access issues. good old database... If you have high volumes. 1 - do it in a small singleton class so synchronized code is quick. 2 - don't write output for every hit logged. Save data in an arraylist or if many pages (so it's big) an HaspMap. Write data to disk every 5 minutes or after every 50 messages logged (which ever happens 1st) - both these numbers being parms, so you can tune & switch off the logging. I'd guess there'd be some code for this somewhere on the internet.. hope that helps.. --- "Galbreath, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just create a thread-safe counter in the constructor and write it to a > textfile. > > Mark > > -----Original Message----- > From: Caoilte O'Connor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 1:21 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: the best way to log action "hits" > > > Hi, > I need to change my webapp to log the number of hits certain > actions get and from which session etc etc. Can anyone point me towards > the "right" way to look at doing this.
