Field Detail

OFF

public static final LogLevel OFF
OFF is a special level that can be used to turn off logging. This level is initialized to Integer.MAX_VALUE.


SEVERE

public static final LogLevel SEVERE
SEVERE is a message level indicating a serious failure.

In general SEVERE messages should describe events that are of considerable importance and which will prevent normal program execution. They should be reasonably intelligible to end users and to system administrators. This level is initialized to 1000.


WARNING

public static final LogLevel WARNING
WARNING is a message level indicating a potential problem.

In general WARNING messages should describe events that will be of interest to end users or system managers, or which indicate potential problems. This level is initialized to 900.


INFO

public static final LogLevel INFO
INFO is a message level for informational messages.

Typically INFO messages will be written to the console or its equivalent. So the INFO level should only be used for reasonably significant messages that will make sense to end users and system admins. This level is initialized to 800.


CONFIG

public static final LogLevel CONFIG
CONFIG is a message level for static configuration messages.

CONFIG messages are intended to provide a variety of static configuration information, to assist in debugging problems that may be associated with particular configurations. For example, CONFIG message might include the CPU type, the graphics depth, the GUI look-and-feel, etc. This level is initialized to 700.


FINE

public static final LogLevel FINE
FINE is a message level providing tracing information.

All of FINE, FINER, and FINEST are intended for relatively detailed tracing. The exact meaning of the three levels will vary between subsystems, but in general, FINEST should be used for the most voluminous detailed output, FINER for somewhat less detailed output, and FINE for the lowest volume (and most important) messages.

In general the FINE level should be used for information that will be broadly interesting to developers who do not have a specialized interest in the specific subsystem.

FINE messages might include things like minor (recoverable) failures. Issues indicating potential performance problems are also worth logging as FINE. This level is initialized to 500.


ALL

public static final LogLevel ALL
ALL indicates that all messages should be logged. This level is initialized to Integer.MIN_VALUE.

Constructor Detail

LogLevel

protected LogLevel(java.lang.String name,
                   int value)
Create a named Level with a given integer value.

Note that this constructor is "protected" to allow subclassing. In general clients of logging should use one of the constant Level objects such as SEVERE or FINEST. However, if clients need to add new logging levels, they may subclass Level and define new constants.

Parameters:
name - the name of the Level, for example "SEVERE".
value - an integer value for the level.
Method Detail

getLogLevelNamed

public static LogLevel getLogLevelNamed(java.lang.String name)

getName

public java.lang.String getName()
Return the non-localized string name of the Level.

Returns:
non-localized name

toString

public final java.lang.String toString()
Returns:
the non-localized name of the Level, for example "INFO".

intValue

public final int intValue()
Get the integer value for this level. This integer value can be used for efficient ordering comparisons between Level objects.

Returns:
the integer value for this level.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object ox)
Compare two objects for value equality.

Returns:
true if and only if the two objects have the same level value.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Generate a hashcode.

Returns:
a hashcode based on the level value
