Java日志学习二：Apache Commons Logging (JCL)源码

一.Apache Commons Logging

     http://zy19982004.iteye.com/blog/1867448里提到了commons-logging的工作方式，本文将看下代码怎么实现这一工作方式。

 

二.Apache Commons Logging类结构

     就这么简单，一个接口包，一个实现包。

 

三.类说明

1. Log：A simple logging interface abstracting logging APIs，和JDBC API是一个性质的东西
2. Level。对六种日志级别的操作，官网建议我们这样用：
   http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-logging/guide.html 写道

   It is important to ensure that log message are appropriate in content and severity. The following guidelines are suggested:
   fatal - Severe errors that cause premature termination. Expect these to be immediately visible on a status console. See also Internationalization.
   error - Other runtime errors or unexpected conditions. Expect these to be immediately visible on a status console. See also Internationalization.
   warn - Use of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong". Expect these to be immediately visible on a status console. See also Internationalization.
   info - Interesting runtime events (startup/shutdown). Expect these to be immediately visible on a console, so be conservative and keep to a minimum. See also Internationalization.
   debug - detailed information on the flow through the system. Expect these to be written to logs only.
   trace - more detailed information. Expect these to be written to logs only.

    
3. LogFactory：抽闲类，获得Log类。 getFactory()先从缓存里取LogFactory，取不到再去找，然后放进缓存。其中找的这段代码如下

   public static final String FACTORY_PROPERTY = "org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory"
   protected static final String SERVICE_ID = "META-INF/services/org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory"
   public static final String FACTORY_PROPERTIES = "commons-logging.properties"
   public static final String FACTORY_DEFAULT = "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl"
   
   public static LogFactory getFactory() throws LogConfigurationException {
   	//1.系统环境变量里是否定义了LogFactory实现类，System.getProperty(FACTORY_PROPERTY)
   	//2.利用JDK1.3 开始提供的service 发现机制，会扫描classpah 下的SERVICE_ID文件，若找到则装载里面的配置，使用里面的配置
   	//3.Classpath下有FACTORY_PROPERTIES文件的话，看此properties里有无定义FACTORY_PROPERTY
   	//4.如果123找不到LogFactory实现类，使用FACTORY_DEFAULT
   }

    

    public abstract Log getInstance(String name)
           throws LogConfigurationException;
   public abstract Log getInstance(Class clazz)
           throws LogConfigurationException;
   
   public static Log getLog(String name)
           throws LogConfigurationException {
           return (getFactory().getInstance(name));
       }
   
   public static Log getLog(Class clazz)
           throws LogConfigurationException {
           return (getFactory().getInstance(clazz));
       }
   

     
4. LogFactoryImpl，实现LogFactory，真正产生Log类的地方。首先从缓存里取Log，取不到就按照http://zy19982004.iteye.com/blog/1867448 中的顺序加载Log类。(i<classesToDiscover.length) && (result == null)就是这里。

   public Log getInstance(Class clazz) throws LogConfigurationException {
           return (getInstance(clazz.getName()));
       }
   
   public Log getInstance(String name) throws LogConfigurationException {
           Log instance = (Log) instances.get(name);
           if (instance == null) {
               instance = newInstance(name);
               instances.put(name, instance);
           }
           return (instance);
       }
   
   private static final String[] classesToDiscover = {
               "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger",
               "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger",
               "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk13LumberjackLogger",
               "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog"
       };
   
   
   private Log discoverLogImplementation(String logCategory)
       throws LogConfigurationException
       {
           // See if the user specified the Log implementation to use
           //1).首先在classpath下寻找自己的配置文件commons-logging.properties，如果找到，则使用其中定义的Log实现类；
   
   //2) 如果找不到commons-logging.properties文件，则在查找是否已定义系统环境变量org.apache.commons.logging.Log，找到则使用其定义的Log实现类；
   
           String specifiedLogClassName = findUserSpecifiedLogClassName();
   
           if (specifiedLogClassName != null) {
                           result = createLogFromClass(specifiedLogClassName,
                                           logCategory,
                                           true);
               return result;
           }
           //3) 否则，查看classpath中是否有Log4j的包，如果发现，则自动使用Log4j作为日志实现类；
   
   //4) 否则，使用JDK自身的日志实现类（JDK1.4以后才有日志实现类）；
   
   //5) 否则，使用commons-logging自己提供的一个简单的日志实现类SimpleLog；
   
                 for(int i=0; (i<classesToDiscover.length) && (result == null); ++i) {
               result = createLogFromClass(classesToDiscover[i], logCategory, true);
           }
           
                   return result; 
   
   createLogFromClass方法使用Class.forName(logAdapterClassName, true, currentCL)，看classpath下是否有此logAdapterClassName 

5. Log4JLogger：包装了org.apache.log4j.Logger。
6. Jdk14Logger：包装了JDK1.4的java.util.logging.Logger。
7. Jdk13LumberjackLogger：包装了JDK1.3及以前版本的java.util.logging.Logger。
8. SimpleLog：自己实现的一个简单日志。
9. NoOpLog：不记录日志，都是空方法。

 

四.Log实现类

 

 

五.commons-logging-api.jar

 

1. 关于commons-logging-api.jar和commong-logging.jar的差别可以参考http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-logging/guide.html。
2. commons-logging-api.jar it does not include the wrapper Log implementations that require additional libraries such as Log4j, Avalon and Lumberjack。必然的commons-logging.jar依赖log4j，而commons-logging-api.jar不依赖任何包。
3. commons-logging.jar 和 log4j一起，LogFactory.getLog(X)得到的毫无疑问是org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger。
4. commons-logging-api.jar 和 log4j一起，得到的是org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger。为什么？commons-logging-api.jar和commons-logging.jar的LogFactoryImpl classesToDiscover都是一模一样的，但commons-logging-api.jar里根本没有Log4JLogger这个类，肯定加载不到，最终使用JDK自身的日志实现类，由Jdk14Logger包装。
5. 总的来说，你想使用commons-logging和Log4j(或者Avalon Lumberjack)，请使用commons-logging.jar 和 log4j。如果你只是想使用commons-logging做一个门面，其它日志做实现，如slf4j，请使用commons-logging-api.jar和slf4j相关jar。

六.总结

1. LogFactory实现类的查找和Log实现类的查找是两回事。但它们均可以在commons-logging.properties里定义。
2. 合理采用commons-logging-api.jar和commons-logging.jar，首选commons-logging.jar肯定不会出问题，如果追求代码的干净请合理使用commons-logging-api.jar。
