public class Debug

extends Object

Version:

$Revision: 1.12 $

debugall

If this boolean is true, all printing is enabled, even if debugging is false or the appropriate id in the debuglist is false.

debugging

This boolean indicates if printing is enabled or disabled.

debugList

A Properties object containing several id's (the property names).

Debug()

()

Initialize variable debugging.

getDebugging()

getDebugging(String)

print(Object)

Print debug information.

print(String, Object)

Print debug information.

println(Object)

Print debug information.

println(String, Object)

Print debug information.

sleep(long)

Causes the currently executing thread to sleep (temporarily cease execution) for the specified number of milliseconds or less if it is interrupted.

 private static boolean debugging

This boolean indicates if printing is enabled or disabled. It is set by the static part of this class.

 private static boolean debugall

If this boolean is true, all printing is enabled, even if debugging is false or the appropriate id in the debuglist is false. If debugall is false, all printing functions as normal. It is set by the static part of this class.

 private static Properties debugList

A Properties object containing several id's (the property names). These id's are used by println(String, Object) to determine wether to print or not.

 public Debug()

 public static void print(Object x)

Print debug information. If printing is enabled, this method calls System.out.print(x), so it can be used just like the print() methods from java.io.PrintStream. If printing is disabled, this method does nothing.

Parameters:

x - the object to print.

See Also:

print

 public static void print(String id,
                          Object x)

Print debug information. If printing is enabled and the id is found in the debug list, this method calls System.out.print(x), so it can be used just like the print() methods from java.io.PrintStream. If the id is not found, this method does nothing.

Parameters:

id - the id for this call.

x - the object to print.

See Also:

print

 public static void println(Object x)

Print debug information. If printing is enabled, this method calls System.out.println(x), so it can be used just like the println() methods from java.io.PrintStream. If printing is disabled, this method does nothing.

Parameters:

x - the object to print.

See Also:

println

 public static void println(String id,
                            Object x)

Print debug information. If printing is enabled and the id is found in the debug list, this method calls System.out.println(x), so it can be used just like the println() methods from java.io.PrintStream. If the id is not found, this method does nothing.

Parameters:

id - the id for this call.

x - the object to print.

See Also:

println

 public static boolean getDebugging()

Returns:

the status of the debugging flag. true means printing of debug information is enabled, false means it is disabled.

 public static boolean getDebugging(String id)

Returns:

wether debugging for the specified id is enabled or not.

 public static void sleep(long millis)

Causes the currently executing thread to sleep (temporarily cease execution) for the specified number of milliseconds or less if it is interrupted. The thread does not lose ownership of any monitors.

Parameters:

millis - the length of time to sleep in milliseconds.

 static void ()

Initialize variable debugging. It is initialized with the value of system property "debug". Also initialize the debug list with the contents of the file specified by the system property "debugfile".
