Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static Level	ALL	The ALL has the lowest possible rank and is intended to turn on all logging.
static Level	DEBUG	The DEBUG Level designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application.
static Level	ERROR	The ERROR level designates error events that might still allow the application to continue running.
static Level	FATAL	The FATAL level designates very severe error events that will presumably lead the application to abort.
static Level	INFO	The INFO level designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.
static Level	OFF	The OFF has the highest possible rank and is intended to turn off logging.
static Level	TRACE	The TRACE Level designates finer-grained informational events than the DEBUG
static int	TRACE_INT	TRACE level integer value.
static Level	WARN	The WARN level designates potentially harmful situations.
static int	X_TRACE_INT

Method Detail

toLevel

public static Level toLevel(String sArg)

Convert the string passed as argument to a level. If the conversion fails, then this method returns DEBUG.

toLevel

public static Level toLevel(int val)

Convert an integer passed as argument to a level. If the conversion fails, then this method returns DEBUG.

toLevel

public static Level toLevel(int val,
                            Level defaultLevel)

Convert an integer passed as argument to a level. If the conversion fails, then this method returns the specified default.

toLevel

public static Level toLevel(String sArg,
                            Level defaultLevel)

Convert the string passed as argument to a level. If the conversion fails, then this method returns the value of defaultLevel.
