Per class logging / tracing

[clebert.suconic]

Isn't there a way we can get back to log/tracing at class levels?  I really used this feature when debugging before, and I would rather use System.outs than this logging... so... is there any way we can improve it?

I'm a bit confused on how to configure logging on master anyways... I would like to disable everything.

@Andy: can you gives some idea?

I guess it would be nice to add it to the Readme

so you cant do class level logging, you would have to add more loggers if you want finer grained logging.

to configure logging you need the following:

1) set the logging.configuration sys prop to point to a logging.properties

2) set the log manager to jboss java.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager

the logging.properties needs the follwoing line, firstly configure the loggers you want

loggers=org.jboss.logging,org.hornetq.core.server,org.hornetq.utils,org.hornetq.journal,org.hornetq.jms,org.hornetq.ra,org.hornetq.tests.unit,org.hornetq.tests.integration,org.hornetq.jms.tests

note the root logger is always configured

then set the level you want on each logger, so

logger.org.hornetq.core.server.level=INFO

then configure the handlers, so

handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler, java.util.logging.FileHandler

# Console handler configuration

handler.CONSOLE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.ConsoleHandler

handler.CONSOLE.properties=autoFlush

handler.CONSOLE.level=FINE

handler.CONSOLE.autoFlush=true

handler.CONSOLE.formatter=PATTERN

# File handler configuration

handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.FileHandler

handler.FILE.level=FINE

handler.FILE.properties=autoFlush,fileName

handler.FILE.autoFlush=true

handler.FILE.fileName=hornetq.log

handler.FILE.formatter=PATTERN

# Formatter pattern configuration

formatter.PATTERN=org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter

formatter.PATTERN.properties=pattern

formatter.PATTERN.pattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] %s%E%n

thats it really

I have talked to jamezp and smarlow on #jboss-as7.

We should be doing Logger.getLogger for tracing level logging.

We keep just package names and the way we are doing now...  but for tracing, we should get a separate Logger on the class and log to that class instead.

[ataylor]

that means we will have 2 loggers per class, seems wrong.

[clebert.suconic]

Well... the other Logger doesn't belong to the class... that means we will have either 0 (when only using the generic logger) or 1.

there are other projects doing it this way.
