Logging

< [Specifications]

Logging is done through log4j. The log file is located under the home directory in ~/.log/OpenPatrician.log.

The use of the Levels are defined as follows:

• DEBUG: Output during development for additional information flow output. Log lines of this level may not persist over time, meaning that after implementation of a component is complete logging may be reduced.
• INFO: Default log level that is visible in release. On this level state information is logged that may be useful in solving reported bugs.
• WARN: Unexpected state which may not influence the application in a negative way. Never the less these issues should be addressed.
• ERROR: Sirius problem. The application may be in an unstable state. Messages of this level should be addressed in a bug report
• FATAL: On this level we log errors that result in terminating the application
