Class LogWriter

java.lang.Object
  edu.nps.moves.logger.LogWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class LogWriter
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Runnable

Writes the contents of the PDU buffer to the file in a separate thread. This accepts Lists of PDUs from the reader thread and writes them out in XML format. Since the reader thread may be faster at times than the writer, we can queue up PDU lists and write them out as we get the chance.
