Method Detail

• getLog

  public static LogUtils.Log getLog(Class<?> clazz)

  Where possible, returns an implementation of Commons Logging. For those applications that do not use Commons Logging, returns an implementation of java.util Logging.

  In general, Commons Logging is the better choice. However, that introduces a mandatory JAR dependency which we want to avoid.

  Note: we're not trying to create another logging framework here! We're just trying to use Commons Logging where available, and java.util Logging where it's not. Most web containers will prefer Commons Logging, but we don't want to have to ship commons-logging.jar with, say, a Swing applet.
