Constructor Detail

LogKitAdapter

public LogKitAdapter(Hierarchy hierarchy)

Initialized LogKitAdapter to operate of a certain LogKit Hierarchy.

Method Detail

getLoggerForCategory

public Logger getLoggerForCategory(java.lang.String categoryName)

Return the Logger for the specified category.

In LogKit getRootLogger() and getLoggerFor("") unless the logger for category "" has been explicitly configured return identically configured but different loggers.

Our LogKitConfHelper configures getRootLogger(), not getLoggerFor(""). We think this is a reasonable behavior and expect that LogKit Hierarchies configured by other means then LogKitConfHelper are configured in the same way.

This justifies our decision to return getRootLogger() when given "" category name.

getLoggerForCategory in interface LoggerManager

getDefaultLogger

public Logger getDefaultLogger()

Return the default Logger. This is basically the same as getting the Logger for the "" category.

getDefaultLogger in interface LoggerManager
