public class Level
extends java.lang.Object

The Level class defines a set of standard logging levels that can be used to control logging output. The logging Level objects are ordered and are specified by ordered integers. Enabling logging at a given level also enables logging at all higher levels.

Clients should normally use the predefined Level constants such as Level.SEVERE.

The levels in descending order are:

SEVERE (highest value)
WARNING
INFO
CONFIG
FINE
FINER
FINEST (lowest value)

In addition there is a level OFF that can be used to turn off logging, and a level ALL that can be used to enable logging of all messages.

Field Summary
`static Level`	`ALL` ALL indicates that all messages should be logged.
`static Level`	`CONFIG` CONFIG is a message level for static configuration messages.
`static Level`	`FINE` FINE is a message level providing tracing information.
`static Level`	`FINER` FINER indicates a fairly detailed tracing message.
`static Level`	`FINEST` FINEST indicates a highly detailed tracing message
`static Level`	`INFO` INFO is a message level for informational messages.
`static Level`	`OFF` OFF is a special level that can be used to turn off logging.
`static Level`	`SEVERE` SEVERE is a message level indicating a serious failure.
`static Level`	`WARNING` WARNING is a message level indicating a potential problem.

Constructor Summary
`protected`	`Level(java.lang.String name, int value)`

Method Summary
`int`	`intValue()` Get the integer value for this level.
`java.lang.String`	`toString()`

Field Detail

OFF

public static final Level OFF

OFF is a special level that can be used to turn off logging.

SEVERE

public static final Level 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.

WARNING

public static final Level 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.

INFO

public static final Level 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.

CONFIG

public static final Level 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.

FINE

public static final Level 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.

FINER

public static final Level FINER

FINER indicates a fairly detailed tracing message. By default logging calls for entering, returning, or throwing an exception are traced at this level.

FINEST

public static final Level FINEST

FINEST indicates a highly detailed tracing message

ALL

public static final Level ALL

ALL indicates that all messages should be logged.

Constructor Detail

Level

protected Level(java.lang.String name,
                int value)

Method Detail

toString

public final java.lang.String toString()

Returns:: the string name of the Level, for example "INFO".
Overrides:: toString in class java.lang.Object

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.
