The spooler logging facility is not able to work in different threads.
To use logging from different threads it is recommended to use the log4j framework.
An example for a Java class, which is using multiple threads and log4j:
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
import sos.scheduler.job.JobSchedulerJobAdapter;
public class MultiThreadLogging extends JobSchedulerJobAdapter \{
private final String conClassName = this.getClass().getSimpleName();
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
private static final String conSVNVersion = "$Id$";
@Override
public boolean spooler_open() throws Exception \{
super.spooler_open();
spooler_log.info("starting " + conClassName);
return true;
\}
@Override
public boolean spooler_process() throws Exception \{
super.spooler_process();
/**
* Overwrite the log4j appender for the spooler_log, because all log-output from another thread
* than thread-0 is not logged actually.
*/
BasicConfigurator.configure(); // log4j output to stdout from this thread
logger.info("in spooler_process");
final Thread objThread = new Thread() \{
@Override
public void run() \{
try \{
System.out.println("test from Thread in " + conClassName);
logger.info("test from Thread");
sleep(2000);
\}
catch (Exception e) \{
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
\}
\}
\};
final Thread objThread2 = new Thread() \{
@Override
public void run() \{
try \{
System.out.println("test from Thread2 in " + conClassName);
logger.info("test from Thread2");
sleep(2000);
\}
catch (Exception e) \{
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
\}
\}
\};
objThread.start();
objThread2.start();
objThread.join();
objThread2.join();
logger.info("exit spooler_process");
return signalSuccess();
\}
\}
The content of the log file after execution of the Java class is shown below:
