Java Util Logging

[Srinivas Raghu]

Hi all,

i am using java util logging. in that i need to know abt

  
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.mycompany.MyClass");
logger.finest("count: "+count);
(or)
if (logger.isLoggable(Level.FINEST)) {
logger.finest("count: "+count);
}

You will use isLoggable() to avoid calling heavy logging process, which could have an impact on performance. For example, looping through a List and logging its content. You want to do it only if the logging level is lower than the level you are using.
[code]
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.mycompany.MyClass");
if (logger.isLoggable(Level.FINEST)) {
for ( int i = 0; i < biglist.size(); i++ ) {
// loop through the list and do some other logging stuff. May take a few minutes
...
}
}
[code]

You don't need to use isLoggable() if the logging does not impact on performance. So in your case logger.finest("count: "+count); is ok.
You will have to set the logging level in a property file, which will determine of the "count" will be logged or not.

Hi,
I need to configure like log4j using util.logging.

For that, reading the logging.property file for my own application
usage (copied from jre/lib ). i need how to code for reading from that
file. "readConfigure" example i need.

also i need how to create -> currentdate.log file for each day
automatically.

Thank You.
