Field Detail

### DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_FILE

    public static final String DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_FILE

  Deprecated. This variable is for internal use only. It will become package protected in future versions.

### DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_KEY

    public static final String DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_KEY

  Deprecated. This variable is for internal use only. It will become private in future versions.

### CONFIGURATOR_CLASS_KEY

    public static final String CONFIGURATOR_CLASS_KEY

  Deprecated. This variable is for internal use only. It will become private in future versions.

### DEFAULT_INIT_OVERRIDE_KEY

    public static final String DEFAULT_INIT_OVERRIDE_KEY

  Deprecated. This variable is for internal use only. It will become private in future versions.

Constructor Detail

### LogManager

    public LogManager()

Method Detail

### setRepositorySelector

    public static void setRepositorySelector(RepositorySelector selector,
                                             Object guard)
                                      throws IllegalArgumentException

  Sets `LoggerFactory` but only if the correct guard is passed as parameter.

  Initally the guard is null. If the guard is `null`, then invoking this method sets the logger factory and the guard. Following invocations will throw a `IllegalArgumentException`, unless the previously set `guard` is passed as the second parameter.

  This allows a high-level component to set the `RepositorySelector` used by the `LogManager`.

  For example, when tomcat starts it will be able to install its own repository selector. However, if and when Tomcat is embedded within JBoss, then JBoss will install its own repository selector and Tomcat will use the repository selector set by its container, JBoss.

### getLoggerRepository

    public static LoggerRepository getLoggerRepository()

### getRootLogger

    public static Logger getRootLogger()

  Retrieve the appropriate root logger.

### getLogger

    public static Logger getLogger(String name)

  Retrieve the appropriate `Logger` instance.

### getLogger

    public static Logger getLogger(Class clazz)

  Retrieve the appropriate `Logger` instance.

### getLogger

    public static Logger getLogger(String name,
                                   LoggerFactory factory)

  Retrieve the appropriate `Logger` instance.

### exists

    public static Logger exists(String name)

### getCurrentLoggers

    public static Enumeration getCurrentLoggers()

### shutdown

    public static void shutdown()

### resetConfiguration

    public static void resetConfiguration()
