org.apache.log4j.Category

Direct Known Subclasses:

Logger

public class Category
extends java.lang.Object

This class is a minimal implementation of the original org.apache.log4j.Category class (as found in log4j 1.2) by delegation of all calls to a Logger instance.

Log4j's trace, debug(), info(), warn(), error() printing methods are directly mapped to their SLF4J equivalents. Log4j's fatal() printing method is mapped to SLF4J's error() method with a FATAL marker.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Category getInstance(java.lang.Class clazz)

getInstance

public static Category getInstance(java.lang.String name)

getParent

public final Category getParent()

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the obvious.

Returns:

getAppender

public Appender getAppender(java.lang.String name)

getAllAppenders

public java.util.Enumeration getAllAppenders()

getEffectiveLevel

public Level getEffectiveLevel()

Return the level in effect for this category/logger.

The result is computed by simulation.

Returns:

getLevel

public final Level getLevel()

Returns the assigned Level, if any, for this Category. This implementation always returns null.

Returns:

Level - the assigned Level, can be null.

getPriority

public final Level getPriority()

Deprecated. Please use getLevel() instead.

isDebugEnabled

public boolean isDebugEnabled()

Delegates to Logger.isDebugEnabled() method in SLF4J

isInfoEnabled

public boolean isInfoEnabled()

Delegates to Logger.isInfoEnabled() method in SLF4J

isWarnEnabled

public boolean isWarnEnabled()

Delegates to Logger.isWarnEnabled() method in SLF4J

isErrorEnabled

public boolean isErrorEnabled()

Delegates to Logger.isErrorEnabled() method in SLF4J

isEnabledFor

public boolean isEnabledFor(Priority p)

Determines whether the priority passed as parameter is enabled in the underlying SLF4J logger. Each log4j priority is mapped directly to its SLF4J equivalent, except for FATAL which is mapped as ERROR.

Parameters:

p - the priority to check against

Returns:

true if this logger is enabled for the given level, false otherwise.

debug

public void debug(java.lang.Object message)
