So I dug through the UIMA source code, and I've developed the
following utility functions which use the java.util.logging APIs
instead of the UIMA APIs::
public static Level disableLogging() {
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("org.apache.uima");
while (logger.getLevel() == null) {
logger = logger.getParent();
}
Level level = logger.getLevel();
logger.setLevel(Level.OFF);
return level;
}
public static void enableLogging(Level level) {
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("org.apache.uima");
logger.setLevel(level);
}
If anyone sees anything easier than this, please let me know.
Steve
P.S. Are there any plans to replace the UIMA Logger APIs with the
java.util.logging APIs?
