Package org.slf4j

Class LoggerFactory

  • public final class LoggerFactory
extends Object
    The LoggerFactory is a utility class producing Loggers for various logging APIs, most notably for log4j, logback and JDK 1.4 logging. Other implementations such as NOPLogger and SimpleLogger are also supported.

    LoggerFactory is essentially a wrapper around an ILoggerFactory instance bound with LoggerFactory at compile time.

    Please note that all methods in LoggerFactory are static.

    • Method Detail

      • reset

        static void reset()
        Force LoggerFactory to consider itself uninitialized.

        This method is intended to be called by classes (in the same package) for testing purposes. This method is internal. It can be modified, renamed or removed at any time without notice.

        You are strongly discouraged from calling this method in production code.

      • failedBinding

        static void failedBinding​(Throwable t)

      • findPossibleStaticLoggerBinderPathSet

        static Set<URL> findPossibleStaticLoggerBinderPathSet()

      • getLogger

        public static Logger getLogger​(String name)
        Return a logger named according to the name parameter using the statically bound ILoggerFactory instance.
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the logger.
        Returns:
        logger

      • getLogger

        public static Logger getLogger​(Class<?> clazz)
        Return a logger named corresponding to the class passed as parameter, using the statically bound ILoggerFactory instance.

        In case the the clazz parameter differs from the name of the caller as computed internally by SLF4J, a logger name mismatch warning will be printed but only if the slf4j.detectLoggerNameMismatch system property is set to true. By default, this property is not set and no warnings will be printed even in case of a logger name mismatch.

        Parameters:
        clazz - the returned logger will be named after clazz
        Returns:
        logger

      • getILoggerFactory

        public static ILoggerFactory getILoggerFactory()
        Return the ILoggerFactory instance in use.

        ILoggerFactory instance is bound with this class at compile time.

        Returns:
        the ILoggerFactory instance in use
