public class StreamHandler
extends Handler

Stream based logging Handler.

This is primarily intended as a base class or support class to be used in implementing other logging Handlers.

LogRecords are published to a given java.io.OutputStream.

Configuration: By default each StreamHandler is initialized using the following LogManager configuration properties. If properties are not defined (or have invalid values) then the specified default values are used.

• java.util.logging.StreamHandler.level specifies the default level for the Handler (defaults to Level.INFO).
• java.util.logging.StreamHandler.filter specifies the name of a Filter class to use (defaults to no Filter).
• java.util.logging.StreamHandler.formatter specifies the name of a Formatter class to use (defaults to java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter).
• java.util.logging.StreamHandler.encoding the name of the character set encoding to use (defaults to the default platform encoding).
