isDebugEnabled is deprecated, why?

[cy23]

Hi there,

i switched from Log4J to JBoss Log4J and figured out, that isDebugEnabled is deprecated. I am using AS 4.0.4

My Code:

if(log.isDebugEnabled()) {
 log.debug("Session invalid.");
}

why is this? I find this method quite usefull. It seems i can have this function with:

if(log.getLoggerPlugin().isDebugEnabled()) {
 log.debug("Constructed in=" + in);
 }

Is this the way to go or what are the reasons to have this deprecated?

Thanks,
Chris

See my take on this, from an old post:

Ah, dimitris, this lecture is enlightening. Yes, you are right- if we would use log.debug correctly we wouldn't have to care about isDebugEnabled.

Thanks for this great blog-posting, i forwarded it to my project colleagues.

Cheers,
Chris
