[infinispan-dev] trace vs log.isTraceEnabled

[Mircea Markus]

Hi,

I'm not aware of any convention on using trace vs log.isTraceEnabled() to guard the trace statements.

if (trace) log.trace("some request related stuff")
vs
if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace("some request related stuff");

The former is more efficient, but cannot be managed at runtime. It seems to be the preferred form, so shall we stick with it?

Cheers,
Mircea
