<h2>Apache log4j™ 1.2<a
name="Apache_log4j_1.2"></a></h2><p>Welcome to Apache log4j, a logging library
for Java. Apache log4j is an Apache Software Foundation Project and developed
by a dedicated team of Committers of the Apache Software Foundation. For more
info, please see <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.apache.org";>The
Apache Software Foundation</a>. Apache log4j is also part of a project which is
known as <a class="externalLink" href="http://logging.apache.org";>Apache
Logging</a>. Please see the <a href="/license.html">License</a>.</p><p>If you

<div class="section"><h3>Why logging?<a
name="Why_logging"></a></h3><p>Inserting log statements into your code is a
low-tech method for debugging it. It may also be the only way because debuggers
are not always available or applicable. This is often the case for distributed
applications.</p><p>On the other hand, some people argue that log statements
pollute source code and decrease legibility. (We believe that the contrary is
true). In the Java language where a preprocessor is not available, log
statements increase the size of the code and reduce its speed, even when
logging is turned off. Given that a reasonably sized application may contain
thousands of log statements, speed is of particular importance.</p></div>
<div class="section"><h3>Why log4j?<a
name="Why_log4j"></a></h3><p>With log4j it is possible to enable logging at
runtime without modifying the application binary. The log4j package is designed
so that these statements can remain in shipped code without incurring a heavy
performance cost. Logging behavior can be controlled by editing a configuration
file, without touching the application binary.</p><p>Logging equips the
developer with detailed context for application failures. On the other hand,
testing provides quality assurance and confidence in the application. Logging
and testing should not be confused. They are complementary. When logging is
wisely used, it can prove to be an essential tool.</p><p>One of the distinctive
features of log4j is the notion of inheritance in loggers. Using a logger
hierarchy it is possible to control which log statements are output at
arbitrarily fine granularity but also great ease. This helps to reduce the
volume of logged output and
the cost of logging.</p><p>The target of the log output can be a file, an
OutputStream, a java.io.Writer, a remote log4j server, a remote Unix Syslog
daemon, or many other output targets.</p></div>
