Class SystemLog

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--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.

logError

public void logError(java.lang.String category,

                     java.lang.Throwable e)
Deprecated. This method will be removed in the next major release. Use logError(String category, Object msg) instead. Throwable should be traced instead of logged as part of message. For Throwable tracing, Use JLogUtil.getTraceLogger() to get PDLogger, then use PDLogger.exception().

Log an error message. Error messages are messages that indicate error events that might still allow the application to continue running. The message will be logged to the message log file without translation.

Parameters:
category - A dot separated category name.
msg - String containing message to be logged.
e - Optional throwable object reference. If this parameter is not null then a stack trace is written to the log.

                     java.lang.String key)
Log an error message, by key. The logged message will be Localized.

Parameters:

srcMethod - Name of the method which generates this logging.
key - Message key in the resource bundle.
