Class LogPage

java.lang.Object

javax.ide.view.DefaultViewable

javax.ide.view.View

javax.ide.log.LogPage

All Implemented Interfaces:

Identifiable, Viewable

public abstract class LogPage
extends View

The LogPage interface defines the methods to log and clear messages from a page.

Extensions that introduce new page types need to implemente this interface. A new page is introduced by declaring it in the extension deployment descriptor (EDD) file. There, the page implementation class is associated with a unique string identifying the page type.

When an LogPage implementation is instantiated, the page type string and a page specific name are used as the components of page ID.
