Interface ILogger

All Known Implementing Classes:

Log4JLoggerWrapper

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);
    }

Method Detail

isDebugEnabled

boolean isDebugEnabled()

Is debug logging currently enabled?

Call this method to prevent having to perform expensive operations (for example, String concatenation) when the log level is more than debug.

isErrorEnabled

boolean isErrorEnabled()

Is error logging currently enabled?

Call this method to prevent having to perform expensive operations (for example, String concatenation) when the log level is more than error.

isFatalEnabled

boolean isFatalEnabled()

Is fatal logging currently enabled?

Call this method to prevent having to perform expensive operations (for example, String concatenation) when the log level is more than fatal.

isInfoEnabled

boolean isInfoEnabled()

Is info logging currently enabled?

Call this method to prevent having to perform expensive operations (for example, String concatenation) when the log level is more than info.

isWarnEnabled

boolean isWarnEnabled()

Is warn logging currently enabled?

Call this method to prevent having to perform expensive operations (for example, String concatenation) when the log level is more than warn.
