Concerning my previous question , I found out that maven can't really output jboss console. So I thought I'd like to make workaround it. Here is the deal:
While jboss is running, it writes console logs into server.log file, so I'm trying to retrieve the data as it comes in, because every few seconds the file is changes/updated by jboss I've encountered some difficulties so I need help.
What I actually need is:
Here is the code so far I got, there is a problem with it, it runs indefinitely and it starts every time from the beginning of the file, I'd like it to continue printing just the new lines from server.log. Hope it makes some sense here is the code:
import java.io.*;
class FileRead
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try{
for(;;){ //run indefinitely
// Open the file
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("C:\\jboss-5.1.0.GA\\server\\default\\log\\server.log");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
String strLine;
//Read File Line By Line
while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
// Print the content on the console
System.out.println (strLine);
}
//Close the input stream
in.close();
}
}
catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
According to the Montecristo suggestion I did this :
import java.io.*;
class FileRead {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
// Open the file that is the first
// command line parameter
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(
"C:\\jboss-5.1.0.GA\\server\\default\\log\\server.log");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
String line;
// Read File Line By Line
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
// Print the content on the console
line = br.readLine();
if (line == null) {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} else {
System.out.println(line);
}
}
// Close the input stream
in.close();
} catch (Exception e) {// Catch exception if any
System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
And it still not working, it just printed the original file.. although the file changes constantly nothing happens.. nothing gets printed out except the original log file.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION: tnx Montecristo
import java.io.*;
class FileRead {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(
"C:\\jboss-5.1.0.GA\\server\\default\\log\\server.log");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
String line;
while (true) {
line = br.readLine();
if (line == null) {
Thread.sleep(500);
} else {
System.out.println(line);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}

Instead, try doing a while(true){ } loop.
C# write text with StreamWriter's WriteLine txt"; using var sw = new StreamWriter(path); sw. WriteLine("old falcon"); Console. WriteLine("data written to file"); The example writes one line to the text file.
I don't know if you're going in the right direction but if I've understood correctly you'll find this useful: java-io-implementation-of-unix-linux-tail-f
You can use RandomAccessFile.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.RandomAccessFile;
public class LogFileReader {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
String fileName = "abc.txt";
try {
RandomAccessFile bufferedReader = new RandomAccessFile( fileName, "r"
);
long filePointer;
while ( true ) {
final String string = bufferedReader.readLine();
if ( string != null )
System.out.println( string );
else {
filePointer = bufferedReader.getFilePointer();
bufferedReader.close();
Thread.sleep( 2500 );
bufferedReader = new RandomAccessFile( fileName, "r" );
bufferedReader.seek( filePointer );
}
}
} catch ( IOException | InterruptedException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
