Controlling the logger

Classes sending messages to the logger should create a static Logger object.

Calling the class method getLogger(String name) of the class Logger, creates a Logger object. The parameter name should be a dot-separated name and should normally be based on the package name

The method logp(Level level,String sourceClass,String sourceMethod,String msg,Throwable thrown) Log a message, specifying source class and method, with associated Throwable information.

The following example shows 2 code fragments of the class TestLogger.

This code fragment creates a Logger-object. The class is within the package 'com.test'

Beispiel:

static {
    logger = Logger.getLogger("com.test"); //Package is com.test
}


//The following code fragment sends a message 
//to the Logger-object

try {
    String name = null;
    name.toString();
} catch (NullPointerException ex) {

    logger.logp(Level.WARNING,"test.TestLogger","test",
        "Objekt name ist null",ex);
}
