Craig,
I've got an application that has to log some high level events (log in, document
views, etc.) My appLog() method currently inserts these events directly into the
Oracle database and is unsynchronized. I've been thinking about replacing this with a
system like you describe above, but am not sure about the synchronization/performance
issues. Do you have some recommendations?
What I was thinking was to have the appLog() method add the events into a List (I'm
using 1.1 collections) and then a timed process drain the List and write the events to
the database.
If I did it this way, would I have to synchronize adding elements to the List? Should
the background process lock the List and copy it to a new List for processing?
List tempList = listOfEvents; //listOfEvents is List used to log events
listOfEvents = new ArrayList();
Thanks,
Randy
