Writing Data to a Log File (Solaris WBEM Services Administrator's Guide)

Writing Data to a Log File

Enabling an application to write data to a log file involves the following main tasks:

Creating a new instance of the Solaris_LogRecord class
Specifying the properties that will be written to the log file and setting values for the property qualifiers
Setting the new instance and properties to print

How to Create an Instance of `Solaris_LogRecord` To Write Data

Import all the necessary Java classes. The classes listed in Example 5-1 are the minimum classes that are required.

Example 5-1 Creating an Instance of `Solaris_LogRecord` To Write Data

import java.rmi.*; 
import com.sun.wbem.client.CIMClient; 
import com.sun.wbem.cim.CIMInstance; 
import com.sun.wbem.cim.CIMValue; 
import com.sun.wbem.cim.CIMProperty; 
import com.sun.wbem.cim.CIMNameSpace; 
import com.sun.wbem.cim.CIMObjectPath; 
import com.sun.wbem.cim.CIMClass; 
import com.sun.wbem.cim.CIMException; 
import com.sun.wbem.solarisprovider.*; 
import java.util.*;

Declare the public class CreateLog and the following values:

CIMClient instance
CIMObjectPath instance
CIMNameSpace instance

public class CreateLog {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws CIMException {
	
	if ( args.length != 3) {
	    System.out.println("Usage: CreateLog host username password"); 
	    System.exit(1);
	}

	CIMClient cc = null;
	CIMObjectPath cop = null;
	try {
	    CIMNameSpace cns = new CIMNameSpace(args[0]);
	    cc = new CIMClient(cns, args[1], args[2]);

Specify the vector of properties to be returned. Set values for the properties of the qualifiers.

Vector keys = new Vector();  		
CIMProperty logsvcKey; 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("category"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue(new Integer(2))); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("severity"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue(new Integer(2))); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("AppName"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue("SomeApp")); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("UserName"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue("molly")); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("ClientMachineName"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue("dragonfly")); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("ServerMachineName"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue("spider")); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("SummaryMessage"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue("brief_description")); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("DetailedMessage"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue("detailed_description")); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("data"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue("0xfe 0x45 0xae 0xda")); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey); 		
logsvcKey = new CIMProperty("SyslogFlag"); 		
logsvcKey.setValue(new CIMValue(new Boolean(true))); 		
keys.addElement(logsvcKey);

Declare the new instance of the CIMObjectPath class for the log record.

CIMObjectPath logreccop = new CIMObjectPath("Solaris_LogRecord", keys);

Declare the new instance of Solaris_LogRecord. Set the vector of properties to write to a file.

CIMInstance ci = new CIMInstance();
		ci.setClassName("Solaris_LogRecord");
		ci.setProperties(keys);
		//System.out.println(ci.toString());
		cc.setInstance(logreccop,ci);
	}
	catch (Exception e) {
	    System.out.println("Exception: "+e);
		e.printStackTrace();
	}

Close the session after data has been written to the log file.

// close session.
	if(cc != null) {
	    cc.close();
	}
    }
}
