Logging an Exception
The logger method log() can be used to log an exception. Also, the
convenience method Logger.throwing() can be used by a method about to
throw an exception.
Here is a sample of the output generated by the example:
package com.mycompany;
class MyClass {
public void myMethod() {
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.mycompany.MyClass");
// This method should be used when an exception is encounted
try {
// Test with an exception
throw new IOException();
} catch (Throwable e){
// Log the exception
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Uncaught exception", e);
}
// When a method is throwing an exception, this method should be used
Exception ex = new IllegalStateException();
logger.throwing(this.getClass().getName(), "myMethod", ex);
}
}
