I could but then I wouldn't get any messages, i think.
I have some logger.warning() messages that I need.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsThe logger is noting the entrance into methods like so:
Aug 8, 2007 8:30:47 AM myPkg.MyClass myMethod.
How do I turn this off?
// Create a file handler that writes log record to a file
FileHandler handler = new FileHandler( "mylog.log" );
handler.setFormatter( new SimpleFormatter() ); // set file format to plain text, // not xml
logger = Logger.getLogger( "mypkg.MyClass" );
logger.addHandler( handler );
logger.setLevel( Level.WARNING );

You need to use formatter (section 1.6) http://java.sun.com/j2se/1
Mabey I'm not understanding, are you saying that each time a method is being called a logging statement is written to your log file? Is that what you mean by 'The logger is noting the entrance into methods'?
If so one way logging the entrance into methods is done is that the first line of each method has something like:
logger.debug("some code to use to log that the method was called");
But if you don't see code like this at the beginning of the methods its possible that who ever designed the system used AOP to weave this logging into the code. There are several different AOP solutions that could have been employed to do this.

By default, java logging would add that in the first line. If you don't want that you need to write your own Formatter and set it the Handler.
Formatter javadoc: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1
By default SimpleFormatter is used.
Try using log4j, it provide a simpler way

Have you try my suggestion? I think primitive logger and log4j are both using reflection.

Can you set the level to off, so change
logger.setLevel( Level.WARNING );
to
logger.setLevel( Level.OFF);
