Hi all,
as for the thread title, I'm in a situation where I start the server and need to show any request in the app log.
I have 3 questions related to this...
(Question 1)
Logs should be visualized on the IDE logs for developing purposes (this is part of a library), but when
the final app is compiled and started with a .bat file (that open prompt on Windows or someelse in terminal on Linux)
logs should visualized here as usually.
I have to get it as fast possible, the only way I found now is to use a Timer (set to 100 milliseconds),
every timer tick open a log file, read it as string and get modifications from last read. This is really not elegant way, it open read and close
the server log file 10 times every second.
Someone know a better way to do this ?
Is there a better way to redirect the server logs ?
Here is my actually code, it works and show on the IDE log every request, but it open a file a lots of times.
Here my log:
Here I use LogColor to show my log requests, but what happen if the log is visualized on the command prompt instead of the B4X IDE ?
It is just used as normal Log by printing all the same color ? Or may not printed at all ?
(Question 3)
I think I've found a Jetty Server bug but I'm not sure. As you can see from the code, I set GMT+2.00 in the server log preferences, to set a right time offset
(seem it default use GMT+0.00) but for some strange reasons if I start the server eg. at 1.00 of night of eg. date 10 August (here in Italy), the server
do not create a new file, it just reuse the log file for a day before, so for a day 9 August even if current date is 10 August.
Even if the server is already started, it do not create new log file at 12:00 PM when the day change.
This is a reason that in my code I check the current day log, if not exist I try to get the day after, if not exist I check the day before.
For my use the day before something is necessary, but because this is a library I have to release on the forum, I searched to adapt it for any location checking even the day after. Any way to fix it ?
Many thanks for any help.

Here I use LogColor to show my log requests, but what happen if the log is visualized on the command prompt instead of the B4X IDE ?
It is just used as normal Log by printing all the same color ? Or may not printed at all ?
(Question 3)
I think I've found a Jetty Server bug but I'm not sure. As you can see from the code, I set GMT+2.00 in the server log preferences, to set a right time offset
(seem it default use GMT+0.00) but for some strange reasons if I start the server eg. at 1.00 of night of eg. date 10 August (here in Italy), the server
do not create a new file, it just reuse the log file for a day before, so for a day 9 August even if current date is 10 August.
Even if the server is already started, it do not create new log file at 12:00 PM when the day change.
This is a reason that in my code I check the current day log, if not exist I try to get the day after, if not exist I check the day before.
For my use the day before something is necessary, but because this is a library I have to release on the forum, I searched to adapt it for any location checking even the day after. Any way to fix it ?
Many thanks for any help.
