Interface Logger

All Known Implementing Classes:

NullLogger, SimpleLogger

public interface Logger

Defines the log service interface. Operations are defined to log messages according the severity of the event:

• DEBUG: all debug messages.
• INFO: regular log messages that inform about normal application workflow.
• WARN: messages emitted in case of abnormal or suspect application behavior.
• ERROR: all error conditions and failures that can be recovered.
• FATAL: severe failures that require the application to terminate.

Every method takes in two parameters: the originator of the log message and the log message itself. If the message spans multiple lines, then a LogMessage object should be used to construct it.

A configuration file (in the configuration directory under the installation directory) provides for fine-tuning of the log settings on a per-class basis. Those settings include the choice of output locations and verbosity based on priority levels — DEBUG has a lower priority than INFO, which, in turn, is lower priority than WARN, and so on.

The implementation of the service is thread-safe. Methods can be called from different threads without compromising the integrity of the log records.
