Log a event at specific priority with a certain message.

Parameters:

priority - the priority

message - the message

setPriority

public void setPriority(Priority priority)

Set the priority for this logger.

Parameters:

priority - the priority

unsetPriority

public void unsetPriority()

Unset the priority of Logger. (Thus it will use it's parent's priority or DEBUG if no parent.

unsetPriority

public void unsetPriority(boolean recursive)

Unset the priority of Logger. (Thus it will use it's parent's priority or DEBUG if no parent. If recursive is true unset priorities of all child loggers.

Parameters:

recursive - true to unset priority of all child loggers

setLogTargets

public void setLogTargets(LogTarget[] logTargets)

Set the log targets for this logger.

Parameters:

logTargets - the Log Targets

unsetLogTargets

public void unsetLogTargets()

Unset the logtargets for this logger. This logger (and thus all child loggers who don't specify logtargets) will inherit from the parents LogTargets.

unsetLogTargets

public void unsetLogTargets(boolean recursive)

Unset the logtargets for this logger and all child loggers if recursive is set. The loggers unset (and all child loggers who don't specify logtargets) will inherit from the parents LogTargets.

Parameters:

recursive - the recursion policy

getChildren

public Logger[] getChildren()

Get all the child Loggers of current logger.

Returns:

the child loggers

getChildLogger

public Logger getChildLogger(java.lang.String subCategory)
                      throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Create a new child logger. The category of child logger is [current-category].subcategory

Parameters:

subCategory - the subcategory of this logger

Returns:

the new logger
