23 /**
24  * Defines the interface for handling log messages.
25  * <p>
26  * It is not usually necessary for users to create implementations of this interface, as
27  * the {@link LoggerProvider} interface contains several predefined instances which provide the most commonly required <code>Logger</code> implementations.
28  * <p>
29  * By default, logging is configured automatically according to the algorithm described in the static {@link Config#LoggerProvider} property.
30  * <p>
31  * An instance of a class that implements this interface is used by calling the {@link Source#setLogger(Logger)} method on the relevant {@link Source} object.
32  * <p>
33  * Four <i><a name="LoggingLevel">logging levels</a></i> are defined in this interface.
34  * The logging level is specified only by the use of different method names, there is no class or type defining the levels.
35  * This makes the code required to wrap other logging frameworks much simpler and more efficient.
36  * <p>
37  * The four logging levels are:
38  * <ul class="SmallVerticalMargin">
39  *  <li>{@link #error(String) ERROR}
40  *  <li>{@link #warn(String) WARN}
41  *  <li>{@link #info(String) INFO}
42  *  <li>{@link #debug(String) DEBUG}
43  * </ul>
44  * <p>
45  * IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: Ideally the <code>java.util.logging.Logger</code> class could have been used as a basis for logging, even if used to define a wrapper
46  * around other logging frameworks.
47  * This would have avoided the need to define yet another logging interface, but because <code>java.util.logging.Logger</code> is implemented very poorly,
48  * it is quite tricky to extend it as a wrapper.
49  * Other logging wrapper frameworks such as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.slf4j.org/">SLF4J</a> or
50  * <a target="_blank" href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/">Jakarta Commons Logging</a> provide good logging interfaces, but to avoid
51  * introducing dependencies it was decided to create this new interface.
