Any Java language based application developer will benefit from the topics covered in this book. Also non-Java developers can benefit by reading this book to understand how to implement and architect a robust logging framework in any language.
Java Logging is designed to let a Java program, servlet, applet, or EJB component produce messages of interest to end users, system administrators, field engineers, and software developers. It comes in handy especially in development scenarios where things can't be run in a debugger, or if doing so masks the problem that is occurring (because it is timing related, for example). In these situations, logs are frequently the greatest (and sometimes the only) source of information about a running program.
This book covers in detail the most popular Java-based Logging API named Apache Log4j. This book is based on the most recent release version 1.2.9. The book includes a step-by-step approach in explaining the concepts from the very basics to the advanced concepts. Apart from explaining in details the architecture of the API and it use; this book also shows how to extend the API to write custom components.
It also describes the best practices involved in using this feature rich log4j API. This book finally also provides a comparison with the other popular JDK Logging API bundled with JDK itself.
