Logging Templates

view counter

OK last time I said I'd tell you about how to look at the logging output next, but then I got all enthusiastic this morning and thought I'd create some code templates to help you use the ADFLogger. Code templates are a really neat feature of JDeveloper and if there is some bit of code (like logging) that you use a lot then 5 minutes spent building a template can save you a bunch of time in the long run.

Here are the templates I've created:

Shortcut Purpose
lgdef A basic static class logger definition
lgdefr A basic static class logger definition with resource bundle
lgdefp A basic static package logger definition
lgi Log statement for an informational message
lgc Log statement for configuration information
lgw Log statement for a warning message
lgs Log statement for an error message
lgdef A basic static class logger definition
lgdefr A basic static class logger definition with resource bundle
lgdefp A basic static package logger definition
lgig Guarded log statement for an informational message
lgcg Guarded log statement for configuration information
lgwg Guarded log statement for a warning message
lgsg Guarded log statement for an error message

Installing the Templates

I've made these templates available as an XML export that you can download from here: loggingTemplates.xml

To install these:

  1. Open  Tools > Preferences from the JDeveloper menu
  2. Expand the Code Editor  > Code Templates node in the preferences navigator
  3. Select the More Actions  > Import menu option as shown here and import the xml file.
