Hi,
I have a class that holds a reference to Log4j's logger in it.I call this
LoggerWrapper.
The intention of using this and not Logger(log4j's Logger) directly is to
keep my code as independent of log4j as possible.
This LoggerWrapper has methods called logDebug(Object description)
i.e logXXX(Object description) for all 5 levels of logging.
The implementation is very straight forward,like this
logDebug(Object desc) {
logger.debug(desc); //logger is an instance of LoggerWrapper and
of type org.apache.log4j.Logger
}
Now the problem.....
In all my source code where there is a need to log i do it in this fashion
LoggerWrapper.logDebug(Object tobeLogged)
In doing so the log files that are generated always have the first line as
line #13,line #18 etc that refer to where logger.xxx() methods are being
used in LoggerWrapper's logXXX methods.
This line number is of no help to me at all since it always gives me the
LoggerWrapper's line number.
What I actually need is that it should reflect the lines of the actual
java file where i called LoggerWrapper.logDebug(Object tobeLogged)
I have just pasted one such line from my log file here
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006 08 01 16:33:14:072 BST DEBUG -
com.jpmorgan.pathclear.siml.common.log.LoggerWrapper.logDebug(LoggerWrapper.java:66)
-Setting ibatis template
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you kindly tell me what I should do so that the line number that i get
is the line from where i issued this debug statement and not the line
number from my wrapper class.
I am now not even sure that my approach was right although the intention
behind was to be not too reliant on any particular implementation of
logging.
Look foward to solutions to tackle this problem.If there is a fundamental
flaw in the way this has been designed look forward to some help in
getting this sorted out.
I could adopt Commons logging on top of log4j.That is one option.But is
there a way to mend this itself so I get logs which are more
informative(reflect the actual line nos) ?

Chetan
