Package com.protomatter.syslog.util.logging Description

Adapters for migrating to the JDK 1.4 logging system. This package is a partial backport of the JDK 1.4 logging system. If you want to migrate to the JDK 1.4 logging system before being able to actually run JDK 1.4, this package allows you to use the new logging API without running the new JDK. When you finally upgrade to JDK 1.4, you can simply re-compile after chaning import statements.

For JDK 1.2 and 1.3:

  import com.protomatter.syslog.util.logging.Logger;  
  import com.protomatter.syslog.util.logging.Level;

  ...

  Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("logger-name");

  logger.log(Level.WARNING, "warning message");
  logger.log(Level.INFO, "info message");
  logger.log(Level.CONFIG, "config message");

  logger.severe("severe message");
  logger.warning("warning message");
  logger.info("info message");

You should get output in Syslog that looks like this:

 05/04/2003 09:43:00 [WARN] [logger-name ] Test.main():59        warning message  
 05/04/2003 09:43:00 [INFO] [logger-name ] Test.main():60        info message 
 05/04/2003 09:43:00 [INFO] [logger-name ] Test.main():61        config message 

 05/04/2003 09:43:00 [EROR] [logger-name ] Test.main():58        severe message  
 05/04/2003 09:43:00 [WARN] [logger-name ] Test.main():59        warning message 
 05/04/2003 09:43:00 [INFO] [logger-name ] Test.main():60        info message 

When you convert to JDK 1.4, change the import statements to:

  import java.util.logging.Logger;  
  import java.util.logging.Level;

If you use the Syslog JDK 1.4 Handler implementation, you can get identical output.

Note that if you use these classes, and don't have Syslog configured to compute the caller class and method, then the caller name in your logs will be incorrect. This is because the JDK 1.4 logging API doesn't have a mechanism for directly getting a reference to the caller.
