Thank you! It is similar to what I wanted to do. This is more like the solution 
for one class. Is there anyway to check for all classes? I have hundreds of 
classes and I want to have an util that I can just replace the current logging  
(e.g: logger.debug("String")) with LogUtil (e.g: LogUtil.debug("String") and it 
does the trick. That way I can just replace All the logger with LogUtil :)

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Tim,

The Logger class has a way of checking the level first.

First put this in your instance variables:

    private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("my.package.MyClass");

    private final boolean debug = logger.isDebugEnabled();

Then put this in your method:

        if (this.debug)
        {
            logger.debug(new String("test"));
        }

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am writing a Log Utility to check the log level first before creating a 
string object. For example, if my log level is INFO, and I call:

log.debug(new String("test"));

It will still instantiate the String object even thought it doesn't log 
anything.

So I would like to write an Utility to check the level first, if the log level 
is lower, then I don't have to instantiate the object and just skip it.
Anybody knows what is the easy way to do that?

Thanks,
