Package com.restfb.logging

Class RestFBLogger

java.lang.Object
com.restfb.logging.RestFBLogger
Direct Known Subclasses:
JulLogger, SLF4JLogger
public abstract class RestFBLogger extends Object
Abstract class that is the parent of all our logger implementations.

Normally RestFB uses java.util.logging for logging messages. But as soon as slf4j is found on the class path RestFB switches to this logger. With the slf4j facade more logger implementations are supported and the quasi standard for java logging is used.

In the rare case you have to switch to java.util.logging although slf4j is present on the class path we provide a system property to force java.util.logging to be used.

The system property is called com.restfb.forceJUL and can be set to true if jul should be forced.
