public class DiagnosticModule
extends java.lang.Object
DiagnosticModuleForComponent dm = new DiagnosticModuleForComponent(); if (FFDC.registerDiagnosticModule(dm, "com.ibm.ws.mycomponent.packagename") != 0) { // Diagnostic module failed to meet the criteria described above // Return codes : // 0 - DM was registered // 1 - A DM has already been registered with the package name // 2 - The DM did not meet the criteria to contain a single dump method // 3 - An unknown failure occured during the registration }Any methods beginning with "ffdcDump" will be recognized by the ffdc runtime, and used for data collection. These methods should expect the following parameters:
Method names that start with "ffdcDumpDefault" will always be called when this component is involved in an exception or error situation. These methods will be responsible for performing the default data capture for their component.
Method names that simply start with "ffdcDump" [not ffdcDumpDefault] are only called under certain conditions and are not considered part of the default data capture.
Methods that don't start with "ffdcDump", or that don't conform to the
expected signature will be ignored. Setting the
com.ibm.ws.ffdc.debugDiagnosticModule
system property to true
will cause exceptions to be thrown for malformed diagnostic module
signatures.
