ADF Logging Explained Chapter 4
In this post, we tried to cover the commonly used methods of ADFLogger class.
Now I create ADFLogger instance and try to log a message using belowCode :
private static ADFLogger logger = ADFLogger.createADFLogger(TestLoggerTFBean.class);
logger.log("Logging Message1");
After running the application, I set the LogLevel of my custom ADFLogger to Warning. Now lets see the logged message ...it's not there. Why ? We created ADFLogger instance... logged the message ... set the LogLevel ... and no message Logged.
Almost all logging methods internally does a check isLoggable before logging. The above logger.log method checks isLoggable(ADFLoggerLevel.TRACE) and which return false because our custom ADFLogger's LogLevel is Warning.
Lesson Learnt : Information about internal LogLevel check is required before using any log method.
Well not to worry... other log methods are straight forward. Here are some examples :
logger.severe(String msg) - This checks isLoggable against Level.Severe.
logger.fine(String msg) - This checks isLoggable against Level.Fine.
logger.log(Level level, String msg) - This check isLoggable against inputParameter level before logging.
That's it. Enjoy logging.
