Class LoggingByteArrayOutputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, Flushable

    public class LoggingByteArrayOutputStream
    extends ByteArrayOutputStream
    Thread-safe byte array output stream that logs what was written to it when the stream is closed.

    Use this as a safe way to log a limited amount of content. As content is written to the stream, it is stored as a byte array, up to the maximum number of bytes limit that was set in the constructor. Note that if the maximum limit is set too high, it risks an OutOfMemoryError on low-memory devices. This class also keeps track of the total number of bytes written, regardless of whether they were logged. On close(), it then logs two records to the specified logger and logging level: the total number of bytes written, and the bounded content logged (assuming charset "UTF-8"). Any control characters are stripped out of the content.
