Class Logger

java.lang.Object
  org.lsst.ccs.utilities.logging.Logger

public class Logger
extends Object

Just a wrapper class around java.util.Logger to add specific logging methods. The instances are not cached (so better have only one per package)
Most methods allow "multi-dimensional" logging (log the same data to various loggers).
Many of those are intended to replace log4j invocations by just changing the import directives. The mapping from log4J Levels is operated this way

 finest -> finest
 trace -> finer
 debug-> fine
 info -> info
 warn -> warning
 error -> severe
 fatal -> severe
 

Logging methods that return a boolean can be used through assert calls (they always return true).

Do not use this Logger for admin purpose (setting a level, a Filter, a Formatter or a Handler): use the corresponding java.util.logging.Logger instead.

Method Detail

getLogger

public static Logger getLogger(String name)

factory method to obtain a Logger proxy.

Parameters:

name - usually a package name (top of hierarchy is "" empty String)

Returns:

getLogger

public static Logger getLogger(String name,
                               String resourceBundleName)

factory method to obtain a Logger proxy.

Parameters:

name - usually a package name (top of hierarchy is "" empty String)

resourceBundleName -

Returns:

getName

public String getName()

Returns:

the name of the Logger

getLevel

public Level getLevel()

the level of the associated JUL logger

createLogRecord

public LogRecord createLogRecord(Level level,

creates a simple log record. This factory manipulates the caller information (className, method Name) by getting rid of any information coming from a package that contains "logging" (or "log4j").
note that the LogRecord is automatically marked with a sequenceNumber that can be used by Handlers that want to detect duplicate publications.

Parameters:

level - JUL Level

Returns:

a simple LogRecord
