XMLFormatter | java.util.logging | This Formatter subclass converts a LogRecord to an XML-formatted string. The format( ) method returns a <record> element, which always contains <date> , <millis> , <sequence> , <level> and <message> tags, and may also contain <logger> , <class> , <method> , <thread> , <key> , <catalog> , <param> , and <exception> tags. See http://java.sun.com/dtd/logger.dtd for the DTD of the output document. The getHead( ) and getTail( ) methods are overridden to return opening and closing <log> and </log> tags to surround all output <record> tags. Note however, that if an application terminates abnormally, the logging facility may be unable to terminate the log file with the closing <log> tag.
