public interface: Logger [javadoc | source]

All Known Implementing Classes:
    SystemOutLogger, FileLogger, SystemErrLogger, LoggerBase, LoggerBase, IASLogger

A Logger is a generic interface for the message and exception logging methods of the ServletContext interface. Loggers can be attached at any Container level, but will typically only be attached to a Context, or higher level, Container.
Field Summary
public static final  int FATAL    Verbosity level constants for log messages that may be filtered by the underlying logger. 
public static final  int ERROR     
public static final  int WARNING     
public static final  int INFORMATION     
public static final  int DEBUG     
Method from org.apache.catalina.Logger Summary:
addPropertyChangeListener,   getContainer,   getInfo,   getVerbosity,   log,   log,   log,   log,   log,   removePropertyChangeListener,   setContainer,   setVerbosity
Method from org.apache.catalina.Logger Detail:
 public  void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)
    Add a property change listener to this component.
 public Container getContainer()
    Return the Container with which this Logger has been associated.
 public String getInfo()
    Return descriptive information about this Logger implementation and the corresponding version number, in the format <description>/<version>.
 public int getVerbosity()
    Return the verbosity level of this logger. Messages logged with a higher verbosity than this level will be silently ignored.
 public  void log(String message)
    Writes the specified message to a servlet log file, usually an event log. The name and type of the servlet log is specific to the servlet container. This message will be logged unconditionally.
 public  void log(Exception exception,
    String msg)
    Writes the specified exception, and message, to a servlet log file. The implementation of this method should call log(msg, exception) instead. This method is deprecated in the ServletContext interface, but not deprecated here to avoid many useless compiler warnings. This message will be logged unconditionally.
 public  void log(String message,
    Throwable throwable)
    Writes an explanatory message and a stack trace for a given Throwable exception to the servlet log file. The name and type of the servlet log file is specific to the servlet container, usually an event log. This message will be logged unconditionally.
 public  void log(String message,
    int verbosity)
    Writes the specified message to the servlet log file, usually an event log, if the logger is set to a verbosity level equal to or higher than the specified value for this message.
 public  void log(String message,
    Throwable throwable,
    int verbosity)
    Writes the specified message and exception to the servlet log file, usually an event log, if the logger is set to a verbosity level equal to or higher than the specified value for this message.
 public  void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)
    Remove a property change listener from this component.
 public  void setContainer(Container container)
    Set the Container with which this Logger has been associated.
 public  void setVerbosity(int verbosity)
    Set the verbosity level of this logger. Messages logged with a higher verbosity than this level will be silently ignored.
