Java Logger-class And Method Code Example
Here is an example of how you can use the Logger class from the logback.classic package:
import ch.qos.logback.classic.Level;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.LoggingEvent;
import ch.qos.logback.core.Appender;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Get the logger
Logger logger = (Logger) LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);
// Get the logger context
LoggerContext context = logger.getLoggerContext();
// Set the logger level to DEBUG
logger.setLevel(Level.DEBUG);
// Check if the logger is enabled for the DEBUG level
boolean isDebugEnabled = logger.isDebugEnabled();
System.out.println(isDebugEnabled); // prints true
// Log a message at the DEBUG level
logger.debug("This is a debug message");
// Add an appender to the logger
Appender<ILoggingEvent> appender = new MyAppender();
appender.setContext(context);
appender.start();
logger.addAppender(appender);
// Log a message using the appender
ILoggingEvent event = new LoggingEvent();
event.setLevel(Level.ERROR);
event.setMessage("This is an error message");
logger.callAppenders(event);
}
}
class MyAppender extends Appender<ILoggingEvent> {
@Override
protected void append(ILoggingEvent event) {
System.out.println(event.getLevel() + ": " + event.getMessage());
}
}
The Logger
class is the central class in the logback package. It provides methods for logging messages and managing loggers and appenders.
In this example, we use the setLevel and isDebugEnabled methods to set the logger level and check if the logger is enabled for the DEBUG level. We also use the debug method to log a message at the DEBUG level.
