Question

Hi,
Can anyone provide me with links to examples of using J2SE 1.4's Logging API?
Thanks,
Amit

Answer 1

Hi,
Here's a couple of classes:
The first is simple logging facility I've written using the logging API (not a complete class - just the relevant method), the second is a generic error class to capture some consistent data across my application.
Drop me an e-mail if you're still stuck.

public void logError(ClientError error)
FileHandler fh = null;
try
String logDirectoryPath = System.getProperty("user.home")
+ "/Pisces/Log/";
String filePath = logDirectoryPath + "Error_log.xml";
File logDirectory = new File(logDirectoryPath);
if (logDirectory.exists())
File logFile = new File(filePath);
else
logDirectory.mkdir();
fh = new FileHandler(filePath,true);
errorLog.addHandler(fh);
errorLog.logp(Level.SEVERE,
error.getClassName(),
error.getMethodName(),
error.getStackTrace());
catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(System.out);}
finally { fh.close(); }
public class ClientError {
private String className;
private String methodName;
private Date errorTime;
private String errorMessage;
private String stackTrace;
public ClientError() { }
public void setClassName(String className)
this.className = className;
public String getClassName()
return className;
public void setMethodName(String methodName)
this.methodName = methodName;
public String getMethodName()
return methodName;
/* In case we want to set the time where the error occurred. */
public void setErrorTime(Date errorTime)
this.errorTime = errorTime;
/* Sets the date to the current time */
public void setErrorTime()
errorTime = new Date();
public Date getErrorTime()
return errorTime;
public void setErrorMessage(String errorMessage)
this.errorMessage = errorMessage;
public String getErrorMessage()
return errorMessage;
public void setStackTrace(String stackTrace)
this.stackTrace = stackTrace;
public String getStackTrace()
return stackTrace;
