Hi,
I'm a new log4j user. I want to use it in a j2ee web application--however,
I want its
components, packed in separate jars, to use the same logger(s), if
possible.
I've since discovered that if Bar uses a non-static, local, logger, things
work as I want. I don't know this is advisable, and shall continue
checking.
Thus my new logMessage() is:
private void logMessage(String msg, Level lvl) {
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());
if ( logger.isDebugEnabled()
&&
Logger.getRootLogger().getAllAppenders().hasMoreElements() )
logger.log(lvl, msg);
else
System.out.println("sysout:" + msg );
}
The caveat here, I suppose, is that RootLogger will need an appender--even
if a do-nothing one. I did read that there are [edge] cases in which the
configured-ness of non-root loggers does not bubble up to the root logger.
Insight from those who've already been down this path would be much
appreciated.
( Incidentally, to elaborate on a prior post, the reason I use logMessage()
is because I expect to want to log context information as well, and I'd like
NDC push/pop to be isolated to and encapsulated in logMessage )
Regards,
--A
