Interface Logger

All Known Implementing Classes:

AntLogger, BaseLogger, ConsoleLogger, JDKLogger, Log4JLogger, NullLogger, SLF4JLogger

public interface Logger

JCloud log abstraction layer.

Implementations of logging are optional and injected if they are configured.

@Resource Logger logger = Logger.NULL; The above will get you a null-safe instance of Logger. If configured, this logger will be swapped with a real Logger implementation with category set to the current class name. This is done post-object construction, so do not attempt to use these loggers in your constructor.

If you wish to initialize loggers like these yourself, do not use the @Resource annotation.

This implementation first checks to see if the level is enabled before issuing the log command. In other words, don't do the following if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) logger.trace("message");.
