## org.apache.catalina.valves
Class FastCommonAccessLogValve

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.catalina.valves.ValveBase
          org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Contained, Lifecycle, javax.management.MBeanRegistration, Valve

public final class FastCommonAccessLogValve
extends ValveBase
implements Lifecycle

Implementation of the Valve interface that generates a web server access log with the detailed line contents matching either the common or combined patterns. As an additional feature, automatic rollover of log files when the date changes is also supported.

Conditional logging is also supported. This can be done with the `condition` property. If the value returned from ServletRequest.getAttribute(condition) yields a non-null value. The logging will be skipped.
