Field Detail

### fullInfo

    public String fullInfo

  All available caller information, in the format `fully.qualified.classname.of.caller.methodName(Filename.java:line)`

### NA

    public static final String NA

  When location information is not available the constant `NA` is returned. Current value of this string constant is ?.

Constructor Detail

### LocationInfo

    public LocationInfo(Throwable t,
                        String fqnOfCallingClass)

  Instantiate location information based on a Throwable. We expect the Throwable `t`, to be in the format

      java.lang.Throwable
      ...
      at org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout.format(PatternLayout.java:413)
      at org.apache.log4j.FileAppender.doAppend(FileAppender.java:183)
      at org.apache.log4j.Category.callAppenders(Category.java:131)
      at org.apache.log4j.Category.log(Category.java:512)
      at callers.fully.qualified.className.methodName(FileName.java:74)
      ...

  However, we can also deal with JIT compilers that "lose" the location information, especially between the parentheses.
