Interface Logger

All Known Implementing Classes:
JSR47Logger_impl, Log4jLogger_impl, Logger_impl

public interface Logger
A Logger is a component used to log messages. This interface defines the standard way for UIMA components to produce log output.

In the UIMA SDK, this interface is implemented using the Java 1.4 logger as a back end. If you want to configure the logger, for example to specify the location of the log file and the logging level, you should use the standard Java 1.4 logger properties or the java.util.logging APIs. See the section "Specifying the Logging Configuration" in the Annotator and Analysis Engine Developer's Guide chapter of the UIMA documentation for more information.

      sourceClass - source class name
      sourceMethod - source method name
      bundleName - resource bundle
      msgKey - message key
      param1 - message parameter
    • logrb

      void logrb(Level level, String sourceClass, String sourceMethod, String bundleName, String msgKey, Object[] params)
      Logs a message with a message key and an arbitrary number of parameters. The real message is extracted from a resource bundle.
      Parameters:
      level - message level
      sourceClass - source class name
      sourceMethod - source method name
      bundleName - resource bundle
      msgKey - message key
      params - message parameter array with an arbitrary number of parameters
    • logrb

      void logrb(Level level, String sourceClass, String sourceMethod, String bundleName, String msgKey, Throwable thrown)
      Logs a message with a message key and a throwable object. The real message is extracted from a resource bundle.
      Parameters:
      level - message level
      sourceClass - source class name
      sourceMethod - source method name
      bundleName - resource bundle

    • log

      void log(String wrapperFQCN, Level level, String message, Throwable thrown)
      Generic logging method intended for logging wrappers.

      level - message level
      message - message
      thrown - throwable object
    • isLoggable

      boolean isLoggable(Level level)
      Checks if the argument level is greater or equal to the specified level
      Parameters:
      level - message level
      Returns:
      boolean - true if the argument level is greater or equal to the specified level
    • setLevel

      void setLevel(Level level)
      Sets the level of messages that will be logged by this logger. Note that if you call UIMAFramework.getLogger().setLevel(level), this will only change the logging level for messages produced by the UIMA framework. It will NOT change the logging level for messages produced by annotators. To change the logging level for an annotator, use UIMAFramework.getLogger(YourAnnotatorClass.class).setLevel(level).

      If you need more flexibility it configuring the logger, consider using the standard Java logger properties file or the java.util.logging APIs.

      Parameters:
      level - message level
    • setResourceManager

      void setResourceManager(ResourceManager resourceManager)
      Sets the ResourceManager to use for message localization. This method is intended for use by the framework, not by user code.
      Parameters:
      resourceManager - A resource manager instance whose extension ClassLoader (if any) will be used for message localization by this logger.
