Class LogTargetFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.webmacro.util.LogTargetFactory

public class LogTargetFactory

extends java.lang.Object

The LogTargetFactory assists the Broker (and you, if you want) in creating new LogTarget instances.

If your LogTarget needs configuration settings from WebMacro, create a constructor with this signature:

     public MyLogTarget (org.webmacro.util.Settings settings);

 

If you don't need to configuration options, you should have a null constructor.
