Class ErrorManager

java.lang.Object

java.util.logging.ErrorManager

public class ErrorManager extends Object

ErrorManager objects can be attached to Handlers to process any error that occurs on a Handler during Logging.

When processing logging output, if a Handler encounters problems then rather than throwing an Exception back to the issuer of the logging call (who is unlikely to be interested) the Handler should call its associated ErrorManager.

Since:: 1.4
