Log4j Jump Start PRO

Log4j is an open source project developed and maintained by Apache. It is part of a bigger open source project known as the Apache Logging Services.

The following code sample shows how to use Log4j in its basic configuration.

package il.ac.hit.samples;

import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class SimpleLoop
{
	static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("SimpleLoop");

	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		BasicConfigurator.configure();
		for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
		{
			System.out.println("i=" + i);
			logger.info("i equals " + i);
		}
	}

}

The following video clips shows the execution of this code sample and explains it.

The following code sample shows how we can add a FileAppender to the logger we use.

package il.ac.hit.samples;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
import org.apache.log4j.FileAppender;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout;

public class SimpleLoopFileAppender
{
	static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("SimpleLoop");

	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		BasicConfigurator.configure();
		try
		{
			logger.addAppender(new FileAppender(new SimpleLayout(), "logs.txt"));
		}
		catch (IOException e)
		{
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
		{
			System.out.println("i=" + i);
			logger.info("i equals " + i);
		}
	}

}

The Visitor Design Pattern

The visitor design pattern allows us to add operations to objects that already exist without modifying their classes and without extending them.

What are Anti Patterns?

Anti Patterns

Unlike design patterns, anti patterns just seem to be a solution. However, they are not a solution and they cause additional costs.
