# FallbackErrorHandler Class Reference

Inherits ErrorHandler, and ObjectImpl.

List of all members.

## Detailed Description

The `FallbackErrorHandler` implements the ErrorHandler interface such that a secondary appender may be specified.

This secondary appender takes over if the primary appender fails for whatever reason.

The error message is printed on `System.err`, and logged in the new secondary appender.

void | setLogger (const LoggerPtr &logger)
| Adds the logger passed as parameter to the list of loggers that we need to search for in case of appender failure.
void | activateOptions (log4cxx::helpers::Pool &p)
| No options to activate.
void | setOption (const LogString &option, const LogString &value)
| Set `option` to `value`.
void | error (const LogString &message, const std::exception &e, int errorCode) const
| Prints the message and the stack trace of the exception on `System.err`.

void | error (const LogString &) const
| Print a the error message passed as parameter on `System.err`.
const AppenderPtr & | getBackupAppender () const
| Return the backup appender.
void | setAppender (const AppenderPtr &primary)
| The appender to which this error handler is attached.
void | setBackupAppender (const AppenderPtr &backup)

## Member Function Documentation

void activateOptions | ( | log4cxx::helpers::Pool & | p | ) | `[virtual]`

| No options to activate. Implements OptionHandler.

void addRef | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Reimplemented from ObjectImpl.

void error | ( | const LogString & |  | ) | const`[inline, virtual]`

| Print a the error message passed as parameter on `System.err`. Implements ErrorHandler.

void error | ( | const LogString & | message,
|  | const std::exception & | e,
|  | int | errorCode,
|  | const spi::LoggingEventPtr & | event
| ) | const`[virtual]`

| Prints the message and the stack trace of the exception on `System.err`. Implements ErrorHandler.

void error | ( | const LogString & | message,
|  | const std::exception & | e,
|  | int | errorCode
| ) | const`[virtual]`

| Prints the message and the stack trace of the exception on `System.err`. Implements ErrorHandler.

const AppenderPtr& getBackupAppender | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Return the backup appender.

void releaseRef | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Reimplemented from ObjectImpl.

void setAppender | ( | const AppenderPtr & | primary | ) | `[virtual]`

| The appender to which this error handler is attached. Implements ErrorHandler.

void setBackupAppender | ( | const AppenderPtr & | backup | ) | `[virtual]`

| Set the backup appender. Implements ErrorHandler.

void setLogger | ( | const LoggerPtr & | logger | ) | `[virtual]`

| Adds the logger passed as parameter to the list of loggers that we need to search for in case of appender failure. Implements ErrorHandler.

void setOption | ( | const LogString & | option,
|  | const LogString & | value
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Set `option` to `value`. The handling of each option depends on the OptionHandler instance. Some options may become active immediately whereas other may be activated only when activateOptions is called. Implements OptionHandler.
