Loggers to identify the name of the method execution

[hariharan jayaprakash]

]I have a scenario with 1000 of classes and I am not able to debug the scenarios to identify the code flows.


I want to add loggers in each and every method starting point of all the classes.


It takes more time to write loggers code manually in all the classes.


What is the alternative approach which writes loggers when it enters into each method in any of the classes?.

Because you are talking about classes, and since few people are using ES6 on the web so far, I suspect your question may be more about Java and not about JavaScript.

Which is it?

You can't sue the debugging facilities of an IDE to do that?

Yeah,  I know. My fingers don't work in the right order, either.

Tracing each and every method will quickly bury you alive and it's almost never either necessary or a good idea. If you really wanted to log each method, though, the simplest way would probably to employ aspect-oriented programming.

Actually, it sounds like this particular system would benefit from the employment of a code coverage documentation tool.

Note that in some IDEs, if you want to see who's calling a method, it's often as easy as a right-mouse click in the method source code. In Eclipse, for example, the right-mouse menu "References" submenu will do this.

Hahahahahahahahaha! It's getting nearly as bad here in UK, but the debugging function isn't a person in the eyes of the law

hariharan, I think I can resolve that if you stop "shouting". See your PM.

Aspect Oriented Programming framework will be handy in these situation, search for Spring AOP based logging feature.

That was my original thought as well, but apparently the need is to track methods invoked by Drools, so I think that I can suggest something easier here.
