Class Summary

Level	This class is equivalent to java.util.logging.Level.
Logger	This class is similar to java.util.logging.Logger, that contains a subset of method calls that are mainly for writing log messages.
LogManager	This class is similar to java.util.logging.LogManager.
PropertiesConfigurator13	This is based on com.sap.tc.logging.PropertiesConfigurator but with modified code to wrap around the configuration for JSR 47 API as in JDK 1.4.

Package com.sap.tc.loggingStandard Description

Provides the SUN compliant standard logging API in the JDK1.3 working environment, to support forward compatibility to JDK1.4.

The SUN standard logging API is not available until JDK1.4. If you are working with JDK1.3, and would like to start enabling logging in your code with the SUN compliant logging API, then you can use this package to work on the logging as if you are working with JDK1.4. Note that this is based on the API released in JDK1.4 beta 2.

Basic idea:
import com.sap.tc.loggingStandard; and make sure loggingStandard.jar is included in the classpath. Insert logging statement as if you are using the java.util.logging API in a JDK1.4 environment.
Theoretically, when you are ready to migrate to a JDK1.4 setting, there should be minimal change in your code, eg. switching import statment, and the rest should stay intact.
The output will be in SAP logging format.

Configuration:
The configuration part of a logging tool is decoupled from the source code (true in both cases for SAP and SUN). Note that configuration of this standard wrapper uses the SAP defined configuration file to control the logging behavior.This corresponds to the default configuration file used in SUN, "lib/logging.properties" under the JRE directory.
There are differences between the SAP & SUN configuration syntax, especailly on the terminology. For your convenience, the major part of the configuration has been wrapped for you to ease out the learning curve. As a matter of fact, this configuration version even enhances the specification ability on top of that provided by SUN.
Please refer to PropertiesConfigurator13 for more details.

Most of the configuration parts have been mapped. The SAP logging features have been hidden BUT one: Filters. After all, internally SAP logging objects are used. Filter is an optional feature, and users have to implement their own filters. In case you intend to do this, you have to implement the filter based on the Filter, with respect to the LogRecord. Both SUN & SAP APIs allow you to do filtering on a log record. Though the definitions of Log Record are different under SUN & SAP, they are very similar. It should be sufficient at this moment to implement a filter on top of the SAP log record. Extra note: unlike the SUN specifications, the tool is capable of taking on multiple filters. The syntax and logic of specifying in the config. file is identical to that for handlers.
