log settings

[Pranav Sharma]

Hi

i use this in my class

 
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
 
public NameOfClass{
private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(NameOfClass.class); 
 
public void method(){
   log.info("TESTING");
}
}

i get output on the console with this.Iam guessing the framework came with Hibernate that i put in my project.

However how would i setup the logger levels and change the appender.

thanks for any hints

You can use different levels by calling other methods of Log. There's probably warn, error, fatal, debug, and maybe others (I don't have the docs in front of me, so I could have the names wrong). Consult the javadocs on which levels are available.

As to different appenders, I don't think Commons Logging supports this by itself. It is just a thin wrapper around various logging APIs. Have a look at Jakarta log4j -the standard logging API-, which works with Commons Logging and does support any number of appenders.
