Interface Logger

All Known Subinterfaces:

All Known Implementing Classes:
MarkerIgnoringBase, NOPLogger, SubstituteLogger
public interface Logger

The org.slf4j.Logger interface is the main user entry point of SLF4J API. It is expected that logging takes place through concrete implementations of this interface.

Typical usage pattern:

 import org.slf4j.Logger;
 import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

 public class Wombat {

   final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Wombat.class);
   Integer t;
   Integer oldT;

   public void setTemperature(Integer temperature) {
     oldT = t;
     t = temperature;
     logger.debug("Temperature set to {}. Old temperature was {}.", t, oldT);
     if(temperature.intValue() > 50) {
       logger.info("Temperature has risen above 50 degrees.");
     }
   }
 }
Be sure to read the FAQ entry relating to parameterized logging. Note that logging statements can be parameterized in presence of an exception/throwable.

Once you are comfortable using loggers, i.e. instances of this interface, consider using MDC as well as Markers.
