Basically: ERROR - if a system admin would need to know (but only if you handle the error - don;t log and rethrow that just leads to duplicate logging!) WARN - may be a problem but you can recover INFO - is this something somebody is likely to find really useful? DEBUG - deployment time or other low volume logging TRACE - Everything else you might need to understand what happened e.g. in your example | public URL getEntry() | { | try | { | ... | } | catch (Exception e) | { | if (log.isTraceEnabled()) | log.trace("Error getting entry: " + entry, e); | return null; | } | } | Dont use isXEnabled for anything but TRACE. All other logging should be such low volume that it isn't necessary and probably redundant. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4133264#...
