I'm following a course in java, and we have to do several programming assignments. One of the things I run into is how to handle messages for the user. These can be error messages, but also things like an operation succeeded. For the last assignment I created an array of messages, each with a numeric code. At the end of the method I returned the proper message id.
This worked, but I wonder if this is the way to go, or if there's a standard way or library to do this.

I might be wrong, but logging means for me writing to a log file. This is very useful for analyzing stuff afterwards, but I need messages onscreen. So a user has to enter a value in a textbox, and the value is not allowed. I want to give a message back. And I want to reuse those messages. Can logback handle this?
Oh i see, you must mean more user feedback. The main framework used for that in Java is resource bundles. This is used to aid in internationalisation
Messages are an integral part of this framework
