Method Detail

isEnabled

public static boolean isEnabled()

Checks whether logback has been enabled. This method will check if the root logger has been initialized via either a configuration file or a previous call to enableLogging(). The logger context property will be used to discriminate the latter case from other initializations.

Returns:

true if logging was successfully enabled

setRootLevel

public static void setRootLevel(String level)

Sets the level of the root logger

Parameters:

level - A string indicating the desired level (i.e.: ALL, DEBUG, ERROR, FATAL, INFO, OFF, WARN).

enableLogging

public static boolean enableLogging()

Initializes logback without an external configuration file. The logging initialization also sets a logger context property to record the initalization provenance.

Returns:

true if logging was successfully enabled

enableIJLogging

public static void enableIJLogging(boolean debug,
                                   ch.qos.logback.core.Appender<ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent> appender)
