All Implemented Interfaces:

Interceptor, Serializable

public class TimerInterceptor
extends AbstractInterceptor

This interceptor logs the amount of time in milliseconds. In order for this interceptor to work properly, the logging framework must be set to at least the INFO level. This interceptor relies on the Commons Logging API to report its execution-time value.

• logLevel (optional) - what log level should we use (trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal)? - defaut is info
• logCategory (optional) - If provided we would use this category (eg. com.mycompany.app). Default is to use com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.TimerInterceptor.

The parameters above enables us to log all action execution times in our own logfile. This interceptor can be extended to provide custom message format. Users should override the invokeUnderTiming method.

 
 <!-- records only the action's execution time -->
 <action name="someAction" class="com.examples.SomeAction">
     <interceptor-ref name="completeStack"/>
     <interceptor-ref name="timer"/>
     <result name="success">good_result.ftl</result>
 </action>

 <!-- records action's execution time as well as other interceptors-->
 <action name="someAction" class="com.examples.SomeAction">
     <interceptor-ref name="timer"/>
     <interceptor-ref name="completeStack"/>
     <result name="success">good_result.ftl</result>
 </action>
 
 

This second example uses our own log category at debug level.

 
 <!-- records only the action's execution time -->
 <action name="someAction" class="com.examples.SomeAction">
     <interceptor-ref name="completeStack"/>
     <interceptor-ref name="timer">
         <param name="logLevel">debug</param>
         <param name="logCategory">com.mycompany.myapp.actiontime</param>
     <interceptor-ref/>
     <result name="success">good_result.ftl</result>
 </action>

 <!-- records action's execution time as well as other interceptors-->
 <action name="someAction" class="com.examples.SomeAction">
     <interceptor-ref name="timer"/>
     <interceptor-ref name="completeStack"/>
     <result name="success">good_result.ftl</result>
 </action>

Description copied from class: AbstractInterceptor

Override to handle interception

Specified by:

intercept in interface Interceptor

Specified by:

intercept in class AbstractInterceptor

Parameters:

invocation - the action invocation

Returns:

the return code, either returned from ActionInvocation.invoke(), or from the interceptor itself.

Throws:

Exception - any system-level error, as defined in Action.execute().

invokeUnderTiming

protected String invokeUnderTiming(ActionInvocation invocation)
                            throws Exception

Is called to invoke the action invocation and time the execution time.

Parameters:

invocation - the action invocation.

Returns:

the result of the action execution.

Throws:

Exception - can be thrown from the action.

shouldLog

protected boolean shouldLog()

Determines if we should log the time.

Returns:

true to log, false to not log.

getLoggerToUse

protected Logger getLoggerToUse()

Get's the logger to use.

Returns:

the logger to use.

doLog

protected void doLog(Logger logger,
                     String message)

Performs the actual logging.

Parameters:

logger - the provided logger to use.

message - the message to log.
