Method Detail

setDefaultPriority

public static void setDefaultPriority(int priority)

Sets the default priority for all loggers.

See Also:

setDefaultPriority(int)

getDefaultPriority

public static int getDefaultPriority()

Returns the default priority.

See Also:

setDefaultPriority(int)

getLogger

public static Logger getLogger(java.lang.String category)

Returns a new instance of a Logger associated with the given category; if redirectTo(mx4j.log.Logger) has been called then a new instance of the prototype Logger, associated with the given category, is returned. This requires the prototype Logger class to have a public parameterless constructor.

redirectTo

public static void redirectTo(Logger prototype)

Tells to the log service to use the given delegate Logger to perform logging.
Use a null delegate to remove redirection.

getLogger(java.lang.String)

redirectTo

public static void redirectTo(Logger prototype,
                              java.lang.String category)

Tells to the log service to use the given delegate Logger to perform logging for the given category (that cannot be null).
Settings made using this method overrides the ones made with redirectTo, meaning that it is possible to redirect all the log to a certain delegate but certain categories. Use a null delegate to remove redirection for the specified category.
