Class SystemLog

  +--com.ibm.itim.logging.SystemLog

public class SystemLog

extends java.lang.Object

External class that provides an interface for message logging. The supported messages types are INFO, WARNING, and ERROR. The messages will be logged by message key, and the logged messages will be localized using the registered resource bundle. The concept of categories is introduced to support the hierarchical control of the message logging. This class supports Logging toolkit JLOG and Log4j, by default JLOG is used. When JLOG is used, all the message logging goes to the message log file while the debug information goes to the trace file. When Log4j is used, both message logging and debug infomation will go to the same file as specified in the Log4j logging properties. The support for Log4j will be dropped in the next major release and all the deprecated methods and constants will also be removed in the next major release.
