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.
