WICKET CLIENTSIDE LOGGING

wicket-clientside-logging is a helper library that allows javascript logging on client side, all log messages will be stored on server side too.

Current build status: Build Status Build Status

Current release version:

Installation

Maven

wicket-clientside-logging is available in Maven central repository.

core maven dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>de.agilecoders.wicket</groupId>
  <artifactId>wicket-clientside-logging</artifactId>
  <version>0.4.0</version>
</dependency>

Backend

// Install settings class; best place to do this is in Application#init()
ClientSideLogging.install(Application.get());
// add the ClientSideLoggingBehavior to your page
public class MyPage extends Page {
  public MyPage(PageParameters params) {
    super(params);

    add(new ClientSideLoggingBehavior());
  }
}

Frontend

// use Log object or Wicket.Log on client side
function myFunc() {
  Log.error("this will be sent to server.");
  Wicket.Log.error("this too.");
  $.Log.error("also this is sent to server...");
}

Supported log methods: error, warn, info, debug and trace A log method won't do anything as long as you don't use a log level that contains the level of the method. The default log level is set to error which means that methods like warn, info, debug and trace won't send data to the server.

Configuration

There are some default arguments that you can override.

Configuration of ClientSideLoggingSettings:

	new ClientSideLoggingSettings()
		.level(level)					// sets the log level for client side logger (default: error)
		.debug(bool)					// whether to activate debug mode or not; in debug mode all log messages will be written to console.log too (default: false)
		.logger(logger)					// defines the logger that is used on server side (default: slf4j)
		.stacktrace(bool)				// whether to collect stacktrace on server side or not (default: false)
		.cleaner(cleaner)				// a cleaner is responsible for cleaning log messages; (default: remove all [\r\n\t])

Configuration of ClientSideLoggingBehavior:

	ClientSideLoggingBehavior.newBuilder()
		.replaceWicketLog()				// whether to replace Wicket.Log or not (default: true)
		.replaceWindowOnError()			// whether to replace window.onerror or not (default: true)
		.wrapWicketLog()				// whether to wrap Wicket.Log or not, all calls to Wicket.Log will be sent to server and to original Wicket.Log object (default: false)
		.wrapWindowOnError()			// whether to wrap window.onerror or not, all window.onerror events will be sent to server and to original window.onerror handler (default: false)
		.logAdditionalErrors()			// whether to log all window.onerror messages or just the first one (default: true)
		.flushMessagesOnUnload()		// If set to true all log messages will be sent synchronously to server when a page unload event is fired (default: true)
		.collectClientInfos()			// If set to true some client data will be collected too; user-agent, screen/window size, ajaxBaseUrl (default: true)
		.collectionTimer(duration)		// Sets the interval between two server calls, all messages between will be queued, this is only used if collectionType is set to "timer" (default: 5000)
		.maxQueueSize(size)				// Sets the maximum queue size, if max size is exceeded all messages will be sent to server (default: 5)
		.maxEntriesPerPage(size)		// Sets the maximum number of log entries can be sent to server, if max size is exceeded all messages will be dropped (default: 10)
		.collectionType(type)			// Sets the collection type (default: single, other: timer, size, unload)
		.customFilter(string)			// Sets the custom client side filter for log events (see QA: How to add client side filter?)
		.loggerName(name)				// Sets the logger name that is used on client side, e.g. name="Log": Log.info('message'); (default: Log)
	.build();

or you can use a string specification to build a ClientSideLoggingBehavior (since 0.1.2):

ClientSideLoggingBehavior.newBuilder("collectClientInfos=false,collectionType=Timer,collectionTimer=100 seconds").build();

How to change log format on server side?

public class MyApplication extends WebApplication {
  protected void init() {
    ClientSideLoggingSettings settings = new ClientSideLoggingSettings();
  
    settings.logger(new IClientLogger.DefaultClientLogger(settings.id()) {
        protected String newLogMessage(String level, ClientSideLogObject logObject, ClientInfos clientInfos, ILogCleaner cleaner) {
            return String.format("[%s] %s; Timestamp: %s; UserAgent: %s; WindowSize: %s",
                cleaner.toCleanPath(clientInfos.ajaxBaseUrl()), 
                logObject.message(),
                logObject.timestamp(),
                cleaner.clean(clientInfos.userAgent()),
                cleaner.clean(clientInfos.windowSize()));
        }  
    });

    ClientSideLogging.install(this, settings);
  }
}

How to use builder with custom subclass of ClientSideLoggingBehavior?

public class MyPage extends WebPage {
  public MyPage(PageParameters params) {
    super(params);

    add(ClientSideLoggingBehavior.newBuilder().build(MyClientSideLoggingBehavior.class));
  }

  public static class MyClientSideLoggingBehavior extends ClientSideLoggingBehavior {
    public MyClientSideLoggingBehavior(final Map<String, Object> data) {
        super(data);
    }
  }
}

How to add client side filter?

public class MyPage extends WebPage {
  public MyPage(PageParameters params) {
    super(params);

    add(ClientSideLoggingBehavior.newBuilder()
            .customFilter("return event.message.indexOf('Error') > -1") // sends all messages that contains "Error" to server
            .customFilter("globalFilterFunction") // uses the function window.globalFilterFunction(event)
            .customFilter("my.namespace.filterFunction") // uses the function my.namespace.filterFunction(event)
            .build(MyClientSideLoggingBehavior.class));
  }

  public static class MyClientSideLoggingBehavior extends ClientSideLoggingBehavior {
    public MyClientSideLoggingBehavior(final Map<String, Object> data) {
        super(data);
    }
  }
}
