You'll be fine. You're giving up some of the nicer features of Log4j, of
course, but you're safe for threads and the like.

Subject: RE: Using only the root Category (is this a problem ?)
Hi,
I hate to resend this, but can anyone give me a quick answer. It seems
as though my simple wrapper class should be sufficient, but I am really
worried about thread/synchronization issues.
Anyone ?

Subject: Using only the root Category (is this a problem ?)
Hi,
I've written a very simple wrapper class around log4j. It basically has
a STATIC instance of the root Category. There are static logging
methods that basically call the corresponding log method of the root
Category instance. I will attach several appenders to this single root
instance through the configuration file. Now while I know that I'm not
using log4j to its fullest capabilities (i.e. category hierarchies),
does anyone see a problem with my simple Logging class ? Keep in mind
that I will basically use this simple logging class in every component
of my application by simply calling:
LogService.logDebug("This is a debug message");
Some questions/concerns I have include: Will there be an issue with
synchronization ? thread issues ? I'm not familiar enough with the
underlying implementation of log4j to answer these questions. So far in
development, it seems to work fine. But I was worried that if a bigger
load hits this logger, that I would have a problem. Please help. I've
included the class below.
Thanks,
Jamie
public class LogService {
/**
* Private static instance of a log4j Category object. Every
logging request
* will be handled by this root Category.
*/
private static Category cat = Category.getInstance("");
static {
PropertyConfigurator.configure("c:\\bea\\wlserver6.0sp1\\config\\mydomai
n\\properties\\logservice.properties");
}
public static void logDebug(String message)
{
cat.debug(message);
}
public static void logInfo(String message)
{
cat.info(message);
}
public static void logWarn(String message)
{
cat.warn(message);
}
public static void logError(String message)
{
cat.error(message);
}
}
