Java - Capturing System.err.println or Capturing a

问题:

Java Newbie question :

I need to capture the text being written to a printStream by a 3rd party component.

The PrintStream is defaulted to System.err, but can be changed to another PrintStream.

Looking through the docs, I couldn't find an easy way to direct the contents of a PrintStream to a string writer / buffer.

Can someone please assist?

回答1:

PipedOutputStream pipeOut = new PipedOutputStream();
PipedInputStream pipeIn = new PipedInputStream(pipeOut);
System.setOut(new PrintStream(pipeOut));
// now read from pipeIn

回答2:

import java.io.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        FileOutputStream fos = null;
        try {
            fos = new FileOutputStream("errors.txt");
        } catch(IOException ioe) {
            System.err.println("redirection not possible: "+ioe);
            System.exit(-1);
        }
        PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(fos);
        System.setErr(ps);
        System.err.println("goes into file");
    }
}

You can create a PrintStream around any other OutputStream.

The simplest way to create one that goes to a buffer in memory would be:

PrintStream p = new PrintStream( new ByteArrayOutputStream() )

Then you could read and reset the contents of the byte array at whatever points you like.

Another possibility would be to use pipes.

InputStream third_party_output = new PipedInputStream();
PrintStream p = new PrintStream( new PipedOutputStream( third_party_output ) );

Then you could read from the third_party_output stream to get the text written by the library.

回答4:

Are you looking for something like this?

    OutputStream redirect = System.err;
    PrintStream myPrintStream = new PrintStream(redirect);
    myPrintStream.println("hello redirect");

If you can pass myPrintStream to the 3rd party application, you can redirect it anywhere you want.

I use the following class to log System.out and System.err to a set of rotating files (where xxx-001.log is the most recent). It contains a few call to utility methods, which you will need to implement before it will compile - they should be self-explanatory.
