159.251 - Software Design and Construction
Assignment 2 (22%)
Deadlines
You must submit your final work using the stream submission system no later than Sunday 19
November 2023. The penalty is 10% deducted from the total possible mark for every day delay
in submission (one day late – out of **%, two days late then out of 80% … etc.).
You are expected to manage your source code, this includes making frequent backups. It is
strongly recommended (but not required) to use a private git repository for this assignment,
and commit as frequently as possible. “The Cat Ate My Source Code” is not a valid excuse for a
late submission.
How to submit
1. Upload a zip file consisting of:
a. The Maven project folder (inc. pom.xml)
b. performance-analysis.pdf -measure time and memory consumption
c. coverage.pdf/html - the pdf or html version of the coverage report created by
Maven
2. upload this file to stream - note: the max upload size is set to 20 MB
3. verify the submission: download the zip file, unzip it into a new folder and inspect
content, run Maven from the command line, check the output including generated jar
files
Task
Work individually to create the following program in Java.
Create a project assign251_2 using the Maven project layout, and within this project, create a
project that implements custom appender and layout objects for Log4j. For this, you will need to
create an appender and layout that work with the other Log4j objects (i.e. implementing
relevant Log4j abstract classes or interfaces), test them and run profiling tools on them to gauge
their correctness and efficiency.
Note, there is no main class for this project, it will be run via your tests from sections 3 and 4.
You may want to consider a test-driven development methodology, where your first step is to
start with section 3 and work backwards. This will allow you to check that your classes are
working correctly as you go.
1. Implement a log4j appender - assign251_2.MemAppender [7 marks]
In this task, you will need to implement a custom log4j appender, which can be used directly
with the log4j logger. This MemAppender, unlike normal appenders, stores logs in memory and
prints them on demand. There is a limit to how many log events will be kept in memory (this
should be configurable), and if the maximum is reached, the oldest logs should be deleted.
Implementation details:
- It enforces the singleton pattern.
- It stores the LoggingEvents in a list. This is supplied by dependency injection (note: if
you have already created a default, that is okay).
- It will need a layout. This will need to be able to be supplied when the instance of an
MemAppender is obtained, and via the setLayout() method. If a layout is not supplied,
and code calling it is needed, appropriate precondition checks should be used (as some
code may not use the appender with the layout, so it is a valid option not to supply one,
as long as you don’t use any functionality that requires it).
- There are three ways to get information about the LoggingEvents that it stores:
a. Call the method getCurrentLogs() which will return an unmodifiable list of the
LoggingEvents.
b. Call the method getEventStrings() which will return an unmodifiable list of
strings (generated using a layout stored in the MemAppender).
c. Call the method printLogs() which will print the logging events to the console
using the layout and then clear the logs from its memory.
- It has a property called maxSize, which needs to be configurable. When this size is
reached, the oldest logs should be removed to make space for the new ones.
- The number of discarded logs should be tracked, and can be accessed using
getDiscardedLogCount(). This should be stored as a long type, as there may be many
discarded logs.
Note: Be careful to observe the DRY principle - there are overlapping requirements above.
3.5 marks Correct implementation of the singleton pattern and dependency injection
options for the list and layout.
2 marks Correct implementation of the information printing / collection methods,
along with sensible precondition checks where appropriate.
1.5 mark Correct implementation of maxSize and associated features.
2. Implement a layout - assign251_2.VelocityLayout [3
marks]
a. VelocityLayout basically works like PatternLayout, but uses Velocity as the
template engine. This layout should work with log4j appenders as well as the
MemAppender.
b. Variable to be supported:
i. c (category)
ii. d (date using the default toString() representation)
iii. m (message)
iv. p (priority)
v. t (thread)
vi. n (line separator)
c. This means that the variable syntax is different, e.g. use $m instead of %m
d. VelocityLayout should have options to set its pattern both in the constructor and
via a setter. An example string pattern could look like:
“[$p] $c $d: $m”
3. Write tests that test your appender and layout in combination with different loggers,
levels and appenders [4 marks]
a. Use JUnit for testing your appender and layout. Aim for good test coverage and
precise asserts.
b. Use the tests to show both the appender and layout working with different
combinations of built-in log4j classes as well as with each other.
c. Tests should be stored in the appropriate locations according to the Maven folder
structure.
4. Write tests to stress-test your appender/layout by creating a large amount of log
statements [6 marks]
a. Create a separate test class for stress tests.
b. Use these tests to compare the performance between MemAppender using a
LinkedList, MemAppender using an ArrayList, ConsoleAppender and
FileAppender - measure time and memory consumption (using JConsole,
VisualVM or any profiler)
c. Consider how to output your logs in such a way that makes comparisons
between the MemAppender and other appenders sensible.
d. Use these scripts to compare the performance between PatternLayout and
VelocityLayout
e. Stress tests should test performance before and after maxSize has been
reached, and with different maxSize values.
i. parameterised tests may be helpful here.
f. Write a short report summarising your findings (embed screenshots of memory
usage charts in this report taken from VisualVM). The report name should be
performance-analysis.pdf
g. Measure your test coverage of the written tests by generating branch and
statement coverage reports using Jacoco or Emma. Submit this report with your
project (should be placed under ~/target/ folder”
Note that the marks for this section will be based on your reporting, the effectiveness of your
stress tests in probing into the efficiency of the classes, and the overall integration testing,
checking that these classes work in combination with other relevant out-of-the-box classes.
5. Write a Maven build script [2 marks]
a. The Maven script should be used to build the project including compiling, testing,
measuring test coverage, and dependency analysis. All dependencies should be
managed with your maven build.
b. Use the jacoco Maven plugin for measuring test coverage.
Hints
● You can use any development environment you prefer, as it is a Maven project.
● Library approved list: only the following libraries can be used: Apache log4j, Apache
Velocity, JUnit 5, Google Guava, Apache Commons Collections, JaCoCo (for code
coverage).
Penalties
1. Code that is not self-documenting, or long or complex methods.
2. Violating the Maven standard project layout or Java naming conventions.
3. Use of absolute paths (e.g., libraries should not be referenced using absolute paths like
“C:\\Users\\..”, instead use relative references w.r.t. the project root folder)
4. References to local libraries (libraries should be referenced via the Maven repository)
5. Use of libraries not on the whitelist
Bonus Question [2 marks]
You can get 100% for the assignment without this. This will give you additional marks up to the
maximum if you lose some elsewhere.
Create an MBean object for each instance of the MemAppender to add JMX monitoring to this
object, the properties to be monitored are
1. the log messages as array
2. the estimated size of the cached logs (total characters)
3. the number of logs that have been discarded
