    @StableMinor(version="17.0",
                 sinceVersion="14.2")
    public interface ILogger

    The logging interface, that specifies the methods available for logging.

    The six logging levels are (in order):

    1. debug (the least serious)
    2. info
    3. warn
    4. error
    5. fatal (the most serious)

    Performance is often a logging concern. By examining the appropriate property, a component can avoid expensive operations (producing information to be logged).

    For example,

        if (log.isDebugEnabled()) 
        {
            ... do something expensive ...
            log.debug(theResult);
        }
