The Logger.isDebugEnabled() method applies to all of the classes that use your
configured log4j repository. If you have your all of your loggers set to
DEBUG, then Logger.isDebugEnabled() will return true, no matter what class it
gets called in.

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,
