Method Detail

initialize

public static void initialize()

Initializes the logging component

exceptionCaught

public static void exceptionCaught(Exception e)

Logs the event that an exception has been caught. Should be used if no further exception is thrown (neither the same nor an other, perhaps encapsulating exception) for debugging purposes, because the exception event is not necessarily conveyed to the user.
Logs the exact place where the exception was caught and the localized message of the exception with the logger level 'fine' on the 'global' logger.

Parameters:

e - the caught Exception, must not be null

errorCaught

public static void errorCaught(Error e)

Logs the event that an error has been caught. Should be used if no further exception / error is thrown (neither the same nor an other, perhaps encapsulating exception) for debugging purposes, because the exception event is not necessarily conveyed to the user.
Logs the exact place where the error was caught and the localized message of the error with the logger level 'fine' on the 'global' logger.

Parameters:

e - the caught Error, must not be null

getPackageLogger

public static Logger getPackageLogger(Class aClass)

Returns a logger for a certain package (determined from a class). Packages should roughly be equivalent to components, so they should each use different loggers. For each package, always the same logger is returned.

Parameters:

aClass - a class in the package, must not be null

Returns:

the logger for that package
