Logging using ADF

Question

Hi,
I want to replace System.out.printlln that I put during development with some logger utility such that whenever I want log I can enable without any bouncing server etc and disable again.
I checked and found ADFLogger but not sure about its usage whether I will be to achieve enabling/disabling logging on the fly and where exactly it will dump log. Some example.
I am using ADF/WLS 11g.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks much

Do not use System.out.println(). My opinion is that any code that has System.out.println() in it would fail code review.
Use something like:
(in your class definition):
private static final ADFLogger _LOG = ADFLogger.createADFLogger(<your class name>.class);then, when you want to log something:
_LOG.fine("here is my message"); // or use .config, .severe, .info, .finer, etc.
// you can also do this
_LOG.fine("Here is a message with a placeholder {0}", someVariableThatShouldReplace{0});It's really not that hard.
