Interface Logger

public interface Logger

Interface for trace and information logging.

The setClientId(String) method can be called to associate a client id for the current thread and its child threads for tracing and logging.

The info, warning, and error methods are for general logging, at the respective level.

The entry, exit, data, throwing, methods are for tracing. Each has a number of variants allowing varying numbers of Object type arguments to be provided. These Object type arguments will be converted to Strings for logging. For efficiency objects should be passed in the arguments as is to save unnecessary conversion when trace is off (note that with this approach there is no need to use a if (Trace.enabled())) type test when invoking the trace methods).
