NShotLogger

Class Overview

An Log4J logger wrapper than will only log N times. After maxTimes number of calls the logger silently discards the logging output.

The logging is done via a delegate Logger

You might use it a bit like this

 private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MyObject.class);
 private final Logger oneShotParseErrorLog = new NShotLogger(log,1);
 ...
 ...
 if (parseErrorOnSomethingThatWeOnlywanToReportOnce == true) {
      oneShotParseErrorLog.log("Things seem quite screwy in your config");
 }
 

Note that the logger is not static. If the object in question is a PICO managed singleton then you will want to use a non static so that the logger will log again if the PICO world is torn down and brought back up again.
