java.util.logging: Programmatic configuration and logging with Java8 lambdas
TweetPosted on Monday Mar 30, 2015 at 06:24PM in Technology
Configuration
We can put configurations in following places (ordered by priority):
- 
java.util.logging.config.classsystem property. specify FQCN of a class here - 
java.util.logging.config.filesystem property. specify the path to a property file here - 
$JAVA_HOME/lib/logging.propertiesfile. put JRE-wide configuration here 
Use of java.util.logging.config.class is most flexible. in that way we can simply put a config class under src/test/java for unit tests. we need to put configuration procedures in the default constructor. an implementation would be something like following:
If you prefer configuration in a property file rather than a config class, following will work as the same to config class:
handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=%1$tY-%1$tm-%1$td %1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tS.%1$tL %4$-7s [%3$s] (%2$s) %5$s %6$s%n java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=FINEST app.level=FINEST
To set system property for every test execution, put following plugin definition to your pom.xml. note that IntelliJ IDEA respects this configuration in its test execution.
<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.18.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <systemPropertyVariables>
            <java.util.logging.config.class>
                testutil.LoggingConfig
            </java.util.logging.config.class>
            <!-- If you prefer a file this will work too -->
            <!--<java.util.logging.config.file>-->
                <!--src/test/resources/logging.properties-->
            <!--</java.util.logging.config.file>-->
        </systemPropertyVariables>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
Logging examples
Application class:
public class MyClass {
    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class.getName());
    public String hello(String greetings, String name) {
        // entering will be logged as FINER
        log.entering(MyClass.class.getName(), "hello", new Object[]{greetings, name});
        // lambdas
        log.finest(() -> "finest: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.finer(() -> "finer: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.fine(() -> "fine: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.info(() -> "info: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.warning(() -> "warning: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.severe(() -> "severe: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        // exception logging
        // throwing will be logged as FINER
        log.throwing(MyClass.class.getName(), "hello", new Exception("test"));
        // exception + message logging with lambda
        log.log(Level.FINEST, new Exception("test"), () -> String.format("arg=%s", name));
        // exception + parameter logging with LogRecord
        final LogRecord record = new LogRecord(Level.FINEST, "arg={0}");
        record.setThrown(new Exception("test"));
        record.setLoggerName(log.getName()); // logger name will be null unless this
        record.setParameters(new Object[]{name});
        log.log(record);
        final String rc = greetings + ", " + name;
        // exiting will be logged as FINER
        log.exiting(MyClass.class.getName(), "hello", rc);
        return rc;
    }
}
Test:
public class MyClassTest {
    @org.junit.Test
    public void testHello() throws Exception {
        MyClass sut = new MyClass();
        Assert.assertEquals("Hello, Kyle", sut.hello("Hello", "Kyle"));
    }
}
Output:
