public class Logger extends Object
Logger objects may be obtained by calls on one of the getLogger
factory methods. These will either create a new Logger or
return a suitable existing Logger. It is important to note that
the Logger returned by one of the getLogger factory methods
may be garbage collected at any time if a strong reference to the
Logger is not kept.
Logging messages will be forwarded to registered Handler objects, which can forward the messages to a variety of destinations, including consoles, files, OS logs, etc.
Each Logger keeps track of a "parent" Logger, which is its nearest existing ancestor in the Logger namespace.
Each Logger has a "Level" associated with it. This reflects a minimum Level that this logger cares about. If a Logger's level is set to null, then its effective level is inherited from its parent, which may in turn obtain it recursively from its parent, and so on up the tree.
The log level can be configured based on the properties from the logging configuration file, as described in the description of the LogManager class. However it may also be dynamically changed by calls on the Logger.setLevel method. If a logger's level is changed the change may also affect child loggers, since any child logger that has null as its level will inherit its effective level from its parent.
On each logging call the Logger initially performs a cheap check of the request level (e.g., SEVERE or FINE) against the effective log level of the logger. If the request level is lower than the log level, the logging call returns immediately.
After passing this initial (cheap) test, the Logger will allocate a LogRecord to describe the logging message. It will then call a Filter (if present) to do a more detailed check on whether the record should be published. If that passes it will then publish the LogRecord to its output Handlers. By default, loggers also publish to their parent's Handlers, recursively up the tree.
Each Logger may have a ResourceBundle associated with it.
The ResourceBundle may be specified by name, using the
getLogger(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) factory
method, or by value - using the setResourceBundle method.
This bundle will be used for localizing logging messages.
If a Logger does not have its own ResourceBundle or resource bundle
name, then it will inherit the ResourceBundle or resource bundle name
from its parent, recursively up the tree.
Most of the logger output methods take a "msg" argument. This
msg argument may be either a raw value or a localization key.
During formatting, if the logger has (or inherits) a localization
ResourceBundle and if the ResourceBundle has a mapping for
the msg string, then the msg string is replaced by the localized value.
Otherwise the original msg string is used. Typically, formatters use
java.text.MessageFormat style formatting to format parameters, so
for example a format string "{0} {1}" would format two parameters
as strings.
A set of methods alternatively take a "msgSupplier" instead of a "msg"
argument. These methods take a Supplier<String> function
which is invoked to construct the desired log message only when the message
actually is to be logged based on the effective log level thus eliminating
unnecessary message construction. For example, if the developer wants to
log system health status for diagnosis, with the String-accepting version,
the code would look like:
class DiagnosisMessages {
static String systemHealthStatus() {
// collect system health information
...
}
}
...
logger.log(Level.FINER, DiagnosisMessages.systemHealthStatus());
logger.log(Level.FINER, DiagnosisMessages::systemHealthStatus);
When looking for a ResourceBundle, the logger will first look at
whether a bundle was specified using setResourceBundle, and then
only whether a resource bundle name was specified through the getLogger factory method.
If no ResourceBundle or no resource bundle name is found,
then it will use the nearest ResourceBundle or resource bundle
name inherited from its parent tree.
When a ResourceBundle was inherited or specified through the
setResourceBundle method, then
that ResourceBundle will be used. Otherwise if the logger only
has or inherited a resource bundle name, then that resource bundle name
will be mapped to a ResourceBundle object, using the default Locale
at the time of logging.
When mapping resource bundle names to
ResourceBundle objects, the logger will first try to use the
Thread's context class
loader to map the given resource bundle name to a ResourceBundle.
If the thread context class loader is null, it will try the
system class loader
instead. If the ResourceBundle is still not found, it will use the
class loader of the first caller of the getLogger factory method.
Formatting (including localization) is the responsibility of the output Handler, which will typically call a Formatter.
Note that formatting need not occur synchronously. It may be delayed until a LogRecord is actually written to an external sink.
The logging methods are grouped in five main categories:
There are a set of "log" methods that take a log level, a message string, and optionally some parameters to the message string.
There are a set of "logp" methods (for "log precise") that are like the "log" methods, but also take an explicit source class name and method name.
There are a set of "logrb" method (for "log with resource bundle") that are like the "logp" method, but also take an explicit resource bundle object for use in localizing the log message.
There are convenience methods for tracing method entries (the "entering" methods), method returns (the "exiting" methods) and throwing exceptions (the "throwing" methods).
Finally, there are a set of convenience methods for use in the very simplest cases, when a developer simply wants to log a simple string at a given log level. These methods are named after the standard Level names ("severe", "warning", "info", etc.) and take a single argument, a message string.
For the methods that do not take an explicit source name and method name, the Logging framework will make a "best effort" to determine which class and method called into the logging method. However, it is important to realize that this automatically inferred information may only be approximate (or may even be quite wrong!). Virtual machines are allowed to do extensive optimizations when JITing and may entirely remove stack frames, making it impossible to reliably locate the calling class and method.
All methods on Logger are multi-thread safe.
Subclassing Information: Note that a LogManager class may provide its own implementation of named Loggers for any point in the namespace. Therefore, any subclasses of Logger (unless they are implemented in conjunction with a new LogManager class) should take care to obtain a Logger instance from the LogManager class and should delegate operations such as "isLoggable" and "log(LogRecord)" to that instance. Note that in order to intercept all logging output, subclasses need only override the log(LogRecord) method. All the other logging methods are implemented as calls on this log(LogRecord) method.

Initialization of this field is prone to deadlocks.
The field must be initialized by the Logger class initialization
which may cause deadlocks with the LogManager class initialization.
In such cases two class initialization wait for each other to complete.
The preferred way to get the global logger object is via the call
Logger.getGlobal().
For compatibility with old JDK versions where the
Logger.getGlobal() is not available use the call
Logger.getLogger(Logger.GLOBAL_LOGGER_NAME)

This factory method is primarily intended for use from applets. Because the resulting Logger is anonymous it can be kept private by the creating class. This removes the need for normal security checks, which in turn allows untrusted applet code to update the control state of the Logger. For example an applet can do a setLevel or an addHandler on an anonymous Logger.
Even although the new logger is anonymous, it is configured
to have the root logger ("") as its parent. This means that
by default it inherits its effective level and handlers
from the root logger. Changing its parent via the
setParent method
will still require the security permission specified by that method.

This is a convenience method to log that a method is terminating by throwing an exception. The logging is done using the FINER level.
If the logger is currently enabled for the given message level then the given arguments are stored in a LogRecord which is forwarded to all registered output handlers. The LogRecord's message is set to "THROW".
Note that the thrown argument is stored in the LogRecord thrown property, rather than the LogRecord parameters property. Thus it is processed specially by output Formatters and is not treated as a formatting parameter to the LogRecord message property.

msgSupplier - A function, which when called, produces the
desired log messagepublic void setLevel(Level newLevel) throws SecurityException
If the new level is null, it means that this node should inherit its level from its nearest ancestor with a specific (non-null) level value.
newLevel - the new value for the log level (may be null)SecurityException - if a security manager exists,
this logger is not anonymous, and the caller
does not have LoggingPermission("control").public Level getLevel()
public boolean isLoggable(Level level)
level - a message logging levelpublic String getName()
public void addHandler(Handler handler) throws SecurityException
By default, Loggers also send their output to their parent logger. Typically the root Logger is configured with a set of Handlers that essentially act as default handlers for all loggers.
handler - a logging HandlerSecurityException - if a security manager exists,
this logger is not anonymous, and the caller
does not have LoggingPermission("control").public void removeHandler(Handler handler) throws SecurityException
Returns silently if the given Handler is not found or is null

public void setUseParentHandlers(boolean useParentHandlers)
useParentHandlers - true if output is to be sent to the
logger's parent.SecurityException - if a security manager exists,

does not have LoggingPermission("control").public boolean getUseParentHandlers()
public void setResourceBundle(ResourceBundle bundle)
bundle - The resource bundle that this logger shall use.NullPointerException - if the given bundle is null.IllegalArgumentException - if the given bundle doesn't have a
base name,
or if this logger already has a resource bundle set but
the given bundle has a different base name.SecurityException - if a security manager exists,
this logger is not anonymous, and the caller
does not have LoggingPermission("control").public Logger getParent()
This method returns the nearest extant parent in the namespace. Thus if a Logger is called "a.b.c.d", and a Logger called "a.b" has been created but no logger "a.b.c" exists, then a call of getParent on the Logger "a.b.c.d" will return the Logger "a.b".
The result will be null if it is called on the root Logger in the namespace.
public void setParent(Logger parent)
It should not be called from application code.
parent - the new parent loggerSecurityException - if a security manager exists and if
the caller does not have LoggingPermission("control"). Submit a bug or feature
