/**
* Simple wrapper API around multiple logging APIs.
*
* <h2>Overview</h2>
* <p>This package provides an API for logging in server-based applications that
* can be used around a variety of different logging implementations, including
* prebuilt support for the following:</p>
* <ul>
* <li><a href="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/">Log4J</a> (version 1.2 or later)
* from Apache's Logging project. Each named <a href="Log.html">Log</a>
* instance is connected to a corresponding Log4J Logger.</li>
* <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/util/logging/index.html">
* JDK Logging API</a>, included in JDK 1.4 or later systems. Each named
* <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instance is connected to a corresponding
* <code>java.util.logging.Logger</code> instance.</li>
* <li><a href="http://avalon.apache.org/logkit/">LogKit</a> from Apache's
* Avalon project. Each named <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instance is
* connected to a corresponding LogKit <code>Logger</code>.</li>
* <li><a href="impl/NoOpLog.html">NoOpLog</a> implementation that simply swallows
* all log output, for all named <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instances.</li>
* <li><a href="impl/SimpleLog.html">SimpleLog</a> implementation that writes all
* log output, for all named <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instances, to
* System.err.</li>
* </ul>
* <h2>Quick Start Guide</h2>
* <p>For those impatient to just get on with it, the following example
* illustrates the typical declaration and use of a logger that is named (by
* convention) after the calling class:
* <pre>
* import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
* import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
* public class Foo {
* private Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Foo.class);
* public void foo() {
* ...
* try {
* if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
* log.debug("About to do something to object " + name);
* }
* name.bar();
* } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
* log.error("Something bad happened to " + name, e);
* }
* ...
* }
* </pre>
* <p>Unless you configure things differently, all log output will be written
* to System.err. Therefore, you really will want to review the remainder of
* this page in order to understand how to configure logging for your
* application.</p>
* <h2>Configuring the Commons Logging Package</h2>
* <h3>Choosing a <code>LogFactory</code> Implementation</h3>
* <p>From an application perspective, the first requirement is to retrieve an
* object reference to the <code>LogFactory</code> instance that will be used
* to create <code><a href="Log.html">Log</a></code> instances for this
* application. This is normally accomplished by calling the static
* <code>getFactory()</code> method. This method implements the following
* discovery algorithm to select the name of the <code>LogFactory</code>
* implementation class this application wants to use:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>Check for a system property named
* <code>org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory</code>.</li>
* <li>Use the JDK 1.3 JAR Services Discovery mechanism (see
* <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jar/jar.html">
* http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jar/jar.html</a> for
* more information) to look for a resource named
* <code>META-INF/services/org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory</code>
* whose first line is assumed to contain the desired class name.</li>
* <li>Look for a properties file named <code>commons-logging.properties</code>
* visible in the application class path, with a property named
* <code>org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory</code> defining the
* desired implementation class name.</li>
* <li>Fall back to a default implementation, which is described
* further below.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>If a <code>commons-logging.properties</code> file is found, all of the
* properties defined there are also used to set configuration attributes on
* the instantiated <code>LogFactory</code> instance.</p>
* <p>Once an implementation class name is selected, the corresponding class is
* loaded from the current Thread context class loader (if there is one), or
* from the class loader that loaded the <code>LogFactory</code> class itself
* otherwise. This allows a copy of <code>commons-logging.jar</code> to be
* shared in a multiple class loader environment (such as a servlet container),
* but still allow each web application to provide its own <code>LogFactory</code>
* implementation, if it so desires. An instance of this class will then be
* created, and cached per class loader.
* <h3>The Default <code>LogFactory</code> Implementation</h3>
* <p>The Logging Package APIs include a default <code>LogFactory</code>
* implementation class (<a href="impl/LogFactoryImpl.html">
* org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl</a>) that is selected if no
* other implementation class name can be discovered. Its primary purpose is
* to create (as necessary) and return <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instances
* in response to calls to the <code>getInstance()</code> method. The default
* implementation uses the following rules:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>At most one <code>Log</code> instance of the same name will be created.
* Subsequent <code>getInstance()</code> calls to the same
* <code>LogFactory</code> instance, with the same name or <code>Class</code>
* parameter, will return the same <code>Log</code> instance.</li>
* <li>When a new <code>Log</code> instance must be created, the default
* <code>LogFactory</code> implementation uses the following discovery
* process:
* <ul>
* <li>Look for a configuration attribute of this factory named
* <code>org.apache.commons.logging.Log</code> (for backwards
* compatibility to pre-1.0 versions of this API, an attribute
* <code>org.apache.commons.logging.log</code> is also consulted).</li>
* <li>Look for a system property named
* <code>org.apache.commons.logging.Log</code> (for backwards
* compatibility to pre-1.0 versions of this API, a system property
* <code>org.apache.commons.logging.log</code> is also consulted).</li>
* <li>If the Log4J logging system is available in the application
* class path, use the corresponding wrapper class
* (<a href="impl/Log4JLogger.html">Log4JLogger</a>).</li>
* <li>If the application is executing on a JDK 1.4 system, use
* the corresponding wrapper class
* (<a href="impl/Jdk14Logger.html">Jdk14Logger</a>).</li>
* <li>Fall back to the default simple logging implementation
* (<a href="impl/SimpleLog.html">SimpleLog</a>).</li>
* </ul></li>
* <li>Load the class of the specified name from the thread context class
* loader (if any), or from the class loader that loaded the
* <code>LogFactory</code> class otherwise.</li>
* <li>Instantiate an instance of the selected <code>Log</code>
* implementation class, passing the specified name as the single
* argument to its constructor.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>See the <a href="impl/SimpleLog.html">SimpleLog</a> Javadocs for detailed
* configuration information for this default implementation.</p>
* <h3>Configuring the Underlying Logging System</h3>
* <p>The basic principle is that the user is totally responsible for the
* configuration of the underlying logging system.
* Commons-logging should not change the existing configuration.</p>
* <p>Each individual <a href="Log.html">Log</a> implementation may
* support its own configuration properties. These will be documented in the
* class descriptions for the corresponding implementation class.</p>
* <p>Finally, some <code>Log</code> implementations (such as the one for Log4J)
* require an external configuration file for the entire logging environment.
* This file should be prepared in a manner that is specific to the actual logging
* technology being used.</p>
* <h2>Using the Logging Package APIs</h2>
* <p>Use of the Logging Package APIs, from the perspective of an application
* component, consists of the following steps:</p>
* <ol>
* <li>Acquire a reference to an instance of
* <a href="Log.html">org.apache.commons.logging.Log</a>, by calling the
* factory method
* <a href="LogFactory.html#getInstance(java.lang.String)">
* LogFactory.getInstance(String name)</a>. Your application can contain
* references to multiple loggers that are used for different
* purposes. A typical scenario for a server application is to have each
* major component of the server use its own Log instance.</li>
* <li>Cause messages to be logged (if the corresponding detail level is enabled)
* by calling appropriate methods (<code>trace()</code>, <code>debug()</code>,
* <code>info()</code>, <code>warn()</code>, <code>error</code>, and
* <code>fatal()</code>).</li>
* </ol>
* <p>For convenience, <code>LogFactory</code> also offers a static method
* <code>getLog()</code> that combines the typical two-step pattern:</p>
* <pre>
* Log log = LogFactory.getFactory().getInstance(Foo.class);
* </pre>
* <p>into a single method call:</p>
* <pre>
* Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Foo.class);
* </pre>
* <p>For example, you might use the following technique to initialize and
* use a <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instance in an application component:</p>
* <pre>
* import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
* import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
* public class MyComponent {
* protected Log log =
* LogFactory.getLog(MyComponent.class);
* // Called once at startup time
* public void start() {
* ...
* log.info("MyComponent started");
* ...
* }
* // Called once at shutdown time
* public void stop() {
* ...
* log.info("MyComponent stopped");
* ...
* }
* // Called repeatedly to process a particular argument value
* // which you want logged if debugging is enabled
* public void process(String value) {
* ...
* // Do the string concatenation only if logging is enabled
* if (log.isDebugEnabled())
* log.debug("MyComponent processing " + value);
* ...
* }
* }
* </pre>
