import org.apache.commons.logging.impl.NoOpLog;

Factory for creating Log instances. Applications should call the makeNewLogInstance() method to instantiate new instances of the configured Log implementation class.

By default, calling getInstance() will use the following algorithm:

  • If Log4J is available, return an instance of org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.
  • If JDK 1.4 or later is available, return an instance of org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger.
  • Otherwise, return an instance of org.apache.commons.logging.impl.NoOpLog.

You can change the default behavior in one of two ways:

  • On the startup command line, set the system property org.apache.commons.logging.log to the name of the org.apache.commons.logging.Log implementation class you want to use.
  • At runtime, call LogSource.setLogImplementation().
Deprecated:Use LogFactory instead - The default factory implementation performs exactly the same algorithm as this class did

Create a new Log implementation, based on the given name.

The specific Log implementation returned is determined by the value of the org.apache.commons.logging.log property. The value of org.apache.commons.logging.log may be set to the fully specified name of a class that implements the Log interface. This class must also have a public constructor that takes a single String argument (containing the name of the Log to be constructed.

When org.apache.commons.logging.log is not set, or when no corresponding class can be found, this method will return a Log4JLogger if the log4j Logger class is available in the LogSource's classpath, or a Jdk14Logger if we are on a JDK 1.4 or later system, or NoOpLog if neither of the above conditions is true.

Params:
  • name – the log name (or category)
