D Logger Class Reference for WebLogic Server
Logger classes provide the interface to WebLogic Server logging. The appendix describes Logger classes and provides an example of a message catalog and its corresponding Logger class.

About Logger Classes
The classes generated by
i18ngen are known as Logger classes. Logger classes provide the interface to WebLogic logging. For a catalog Xyz.xml, a Logger class XyzLogger is generated.
The Logger class provides methods to log all messages defined in a catalog to the WebLogic Server log. The methods included are the same as those defined in the associated catalog. If the catalog specifies the loggables attribute as true, then Loggable methods are also generated for each message. See Loggable Object Reference for WebLogic Server.

Example of a Generated Logger Class
You can use the
weblogic.i18ngen utility to generate Logger classes that are used for localizing the text in log messages.Example D-1 contains an example of a generated logger class.
