class Util_API LoggingConfigurator
This utility class uses a configuration object to configure the
logging subsystem of an application.
The LoggingConfigurator sets up and connects formatters, channels
and loggers. To accomplish its work, the LoggingConfigurator relies on the
functionality provided by the LoggingFactory und LoggingRegistry classes.
The LoggingConfigurator expects all configuration data to be under a root
property named "logging".
Configuring Formatters
A formatter is configured using the "logging.formatters" property. Every
formatter has an internal name, which is only used for referring to it
during configuration time. This name becomes part of the property name.
Every formatter has a mandatory "class" property, which specifies the actual
class implementing the formatter. Any other properties are passed on to
the formatter by calling its setProperty() method.
A typical formatter definition looks as follows:
logging.formatters.f1.class = PatternFormatter
logging.formatters.f1.pattern = %s: [%p] %t
logging.formatters.f1.times = UTC
Configuring Channels
A channel is configured using the "logging.channels" property. Like with
Formatters, every channel has an internal name, which is used during
configuration only. The name becomes part of the property name.
Every channel has a mandatory "class" property, which specifies the actual
class implementing the channel. Any other properties are passed on to
the formatter by calling its setProperty() method.
For convenience, the "formatter" property of a channel is treated
specifically. The "formatter" property can either be used to refer to
an already defined formatter, or it can be used to specify an "inline"
formatter definition. In either case, when a "formatter" property is
present, the channel is automatically "wrapped" in a FormattingChannel
object.
Similarly, a channel supports also a "pattern" property, which results
in the automatic instantiation of a FormattingChannel object with a
connected PatternFormatter.
Examples:
logging.channels.c1.class = ConsoleChannel
logging.channels.c1.formatter = f1
logging.channels.c2.class = FileChannel
logging.channels.c2.path =
