前言

写一本书比写一篇技术文章要困难的多,但是编软件比写一本书更困难的多.

Donald Knuth, “All Questions Answered,” October 5, 2001

你曾经看到过一个系统失败并且浪费了大量的时间重头再来吗? 频繁的出现bug是危险的,而且要花费惊人的时间,金钱和精力. 假如有足够的上下文信息,大多的①bug都可以在很快得到修复. 查找这些bug是一件艰巨的工作.

理论上,一组考虑周密的测试用例可以在开发循环的早期找出bug.然而.坦白地讲,这是不可能地,无论你多么努力地工作,即使在非常小的应用程序中,也只能找出其中几个.在应用程序失败方面,日志给开发人员提供了更为详细的上下文.另一方面,测试提供了质量保证和在应用中的信心.日志和测试是不冲突的,两者是互补的.你的应用程序越大,你越需要更多的测试和日志记录.仅仅测试是不够的,当然仅仅记录日志也是不够的.当日志被广泛使用的时候,可以证明它是一个潜在的工具.

本书内容

本手册相当详细地描述了log4j API,包括它的特点和设计原理.本书面向那些熟悉java语言地开发者,但是没有很多使用log4j地经验.在介绍的内容和示例的帮助下,新手很快就会熟练的(come up to speed). 经验丰富的log4j使用者也将发现很多在别处没有讨论过的新鲜内容.高级内容也详细地涵盖了,以便读者可以利用log4j的强大功能.

第一章简单地介绍了log4j.第二章介绍了log4j的概念和log4j的整体架构.第三章介绍配置脚本,第一个是属性文件,然后XML格式.前三章覆盖了log4j的基本特色.第四﹑五﹑六章相当深地讨论log4j的组件,即输出源(Appender),布局器(Layout)和过滤器(Filter).诸如诊断上下文和默认初始化过程等高级主题将在后面几章介绍.

我们鼓励读者经常参考log4j附带的javadoc文档.这份也可以在网上找到: http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/index.html.
