This article describes how to use the Logging API in Java programs. It includes an example for creating an HTML logger.
Table of Contents
Logging is the process of writing log messages during the execution of a program to a central place. This logging allows you to report and persist error and warning messages as well as info messages (e.g., runtime statistics) so that the messages can later be retrieved and analyzed.
The object which performs the logging in applications is typically just called Logger.
Java contains the Java Logging API. This logging API allows you to configure which message types are written. Individual classes can use this logger to write messages to the configured log files.
The java.util.logging package provides the logging capabilities via the Logger class.
To create a logger in your Java code, you can use the following snippet.
import java.util.logging.Logger;
// assumes the current class is called logger
private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class.getName());
The Logger you create is actually a hierarchy of Loggers, and a . (dot) in the hierarchy indicates a level in the hierarchy. So if you get a Logger for the com.example key, this Logger is a child of the com Logger and the com Logger is child of the Logger for the empty String. You can configure the main logger and this affects all its children.
The log levels define the severity of a message. The Level class is used to define which messages should be written to the log.
The following lists the Log Levels in descending order:
SEVERE (highest)
WARNING
INFO
CONFIG
FINE
FINER
FINEST
In addition to that you also have the levels OFF and ALL to turn the logging off or to log everything.
For example, the following code sets the logger to the info level, which means all messages with severe, warning and info will be logged.
LOGGER.setLevel(Level.INFO);
Each logger can have access to several handlers.
The handler receives the log message from the logger and exports it to a certain target.
A handler can be turned off with the setLevel(Level.OFF) method and turned on with setLevel() method.
You have several standard handlers. The following list gives some examples.
ConsoleHandler: Write the log message to console
FileHandler: Writes the log message to file
Log levels INFO and higher will be automatically written to the console.
Each handler‘s output can be configured with a formatter
Available formatter
SimpleFormatter: Generate all messages as text
XMLFormatter: Generates XML output for the log messages
You can also build your own formatter. The following is an example of a formatter which will create HTML output.
package com.vogella.logger;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.Formatter;
import java.util.logging.Handler;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.LogRecord;
// this custom formatter formats parts of a log record to a single line
class MyHtmlFormatter extends Formatter {
// this method is called for every log records
public String format(LogRecord rec) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(1000);
buf.append("<tr>\n");
// colorize any levels >= WARNING in red
if (rec.getLevel().intValue() >= Level.WARNING.intValue()) {
buf.append("\t<td style=\"color:red\">");
buf.append("<b>");
buf.append(rec.getLevel());
buf.append("</b>");
} else {
buf.append("\t<td>");
buf.append(rec.getLevel());
}
buf.append("</td>\n");
buf.append("\t<td>");
buf.append(calcDate(rec.getMillis()));
buf.append("</td>\n");
buf.append("\t<td>");
buf.append(formatMessage(rec));
buf.append("</td>\n");
buf.append("</tr>\n");
return buf.toString();
}
private String calcDate(long millisecs) {
SimpleDateFormat date_format = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
Date resultdate = new Date(millisecs);
return date_format.format(resultdate);
}
// this method is called just after the handler using this
// formatter is created
public String getHead(Handler h) {
return "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<head>\n<style>\n"
+ "table { width: 100% }\n"
+ "th { font:bold 10pt Tahoma; }\n"
+ "td { font:normal 10pt Tahoma; }\n"
+ "h1 {font:normal 11pt Tahoma;}\n"
+ "</style>\n"
+ "</head>\n"
+ "<body>\n"
+ "<h1>" + (new Date()) + "</h1>\n"
+ "<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"3\">\n"
+ "<tr align=\"left\">\n"
+ "\t<th style=\"width:10%\">Loglevel</th>\n"
+ "\t<th style=\"width:15%\">Time</th>\n"
+ "\t<th style=\"width:75%\">Log Message</th>\n"
+ "</tr>\n";
}
// this method is called just after the handler using this
// formatter is closed
public String getTail(Handler h) {
return "</table>\n</body>\n</html>";
}
}
The log manager is responsible for creating and managing the logger and the maintenance of the configuration.
We could set the logging level for a package, or even a set of packages, by calling the LogManager.setLevel(String name, Level level) method. So, for example, we could set the logging level of all loggers toLevel.FINE by making this call:
LogManager.getLogManager().getLogger(Logger.GLOBAL_LOGGER_NAME).setLevel(Level.FINE);
It is common practice to use the fully qualified name of each class whose activity is being logged as a message category, because this allows developers to fine-tune log settings for each class.
Using the fully qualified class name of your class as the name of your Logger is the approach recommended by the Logging API documentation.
This example is stored in the project called com.vogella.logger.
Create your own formatter class.
package com.vogella.logger;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.Formatter;
import java.util.logging.Handler;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.LogRecord;
// this custom formatter formats parts of a log record to a single line
class MyHtmlFormatter extends Formatter {
// this method is called for every log records
public String format(LogRecord rec) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(1000);
buf.append("<tr>\n");
// colorize any levels >= WARNING in red
if (rec.getLevel().intValue() >= Level.WARNING.intValue()) {
buf.append("\t<td style=\"color:red\">");
buf.append("<b>");
buf.append(rec.getLevel());
buf.append("</b>");
} else {
buf.append("\t<td>");
buf.append(rec.getLevel());
}
buf.append("</td>\n");
buf.append("\t<td>");
buf.append(calcDate(rec.getMillis()));
buf.append("</td>\n");
buf.append("\t<td>");
buf.append(formatMessage(rec));
buf.append("</td>\n");
buf.append("</tr>\n");
return buf.toString();
}
private String calcDate(long millisecs) {
SimpleDateFormat date_format = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
Date resultdate = new Date(millisecs);
return date_format.format(resultdate);
}
// this method is called just after the handler using this
// formatter is created
public String getHead(Handler h) {
return "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<head>\n<style>\n"
+ "table { width: 100% }\n"
+ "th { font:bold 10pt Tahoma; }\n"
+ "td { font:normal 10pt Tahoma; }\n"
+ "h1 {font:normal 11pt Tahoma;}\n"
+ "</style>\n"
+ "</head>\n"
+ "<body>\n"
+ "<h1>" + (new Date()) + "</h1>\n"
+ "<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"3\">\n"
+ "<tr align=\"left\">\n"
+ "\t<th style=\"width:10%\">Loglevel</th>\n"
+ "\t<th style=\"width:15%\">Time</th>\n"
+ "\t<th style=\"width:75%\">Log Message</th>\n"
+ "</tr>\n";
}
// this method is called just after the handler using this
// formatter is closed
public String getTail(Handler h) {
return "</table>\n</body>\n</html>";
}
}
Initialize the logger via the following code. This Logger class uses the new HTML formatter you created.
package com.vogella.logger;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.FileHandler;
import java.util.logging.Formatter;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter;
public class MyLogger {
static private FileHandler fileTxt;
static private SimpleFormatter formatterTxt;
static private FileHandler fileHTML;
static private Formatter formatterHTML;
static public void setup() throws IOException {
// get the global logger to configure it
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Logger.GLOBAL_LOGGER_NAME);
// suppress the logging output to the console
Logger rootLogger = Logger.*getLogger*("");
Handler[] handlers = rootLogger.getHandlers();
if (handlers[0] instanceof ConsoleHandler) {
rootLogger.removeHandler(handlers[0]);
}
logger.setLevel(Level.INFO);
fileTxt = new FileHandler("Logging.txt");
fileHTML = new FileHandler("Logging.html");
// create a TXT formatter
formatterTxt = new SimpleFormatter();
fileTxt.setFormatter(formatterTxt);
logger.addHandler(fileTxt);
// create an HTML formatter
formatterHTML = new MyHtmlFormatter();
fileHTML.setFormatter(formatterHTML);
logger.addHandler(fileHTML);
}
}
The following example class demonstrates how you can use your MyLogger class to create log messages.
package com.vogella.logger.test;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import com.vogella.logger.MyLogger;
public class UseLogger {
// use the classname for the logger, this way you can refactor
private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(Logger.GLOBAL_LOGGER_NAME);
public void doSomeThingAndLog() {
// ... more code
// now we demo the logging
// set the LogLevel to Severe, only severe Messages will be written
LOGGER.setLevel(Level.SEVERE);
LOGGER.severe("Info Log");
LOGGER.warning("Info Log");
LOGGER.info("Info Log");
LOGGER.finest("Really not important");
// set the LogLevel to Info, severe, warning and info will be written
// finest is still not written
LOGGER.setLevel(Level.INFO);
LOGGER.severe("Info Log");
LOGGER.warning("Info Log");
LOGGER.info("Info Log");
LOGGER.finest("Really not important");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
UseLogger tester = new UseLogger();
try {
MyLogger.setup();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException("Problems with creating the log files");
}
tester.doSomeThingAndLog();
}
}
After you ran your program you need to Refresh your project in Eclipse (or check the file system directly) to see the files in the Package Explorer view.
