log4j

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: The Apache Software Foundation
Latest version: 1.3 Alpha
Description: Open source tool developed for putting log statements into your applications.
Logging equips the developer with detailed context for application failures.
With log4j it is possible to enable logging at runtime without modifying the application binary. The log4j package is designed so that these statements can remain in shipped code without incurring a heavy performance cost. Logging behavior can be controlled by editing a configuration file, without touching the application binary.
One of the distinctive features of log4j is the notion of inheritance in loggers. Using a logger hierarchy it is possible to control which log statements are output at arbitrarily fine granularity. This helps reduce the volume of logged output and minimize the cost of logging.

ALF

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Latest version: 0.9.1
Description: ALF, The Automated Logging Framework, is a logging framework for Java written in Standard C++.
The major advantage of ALF is the automated method tracing which is generated at runtime without need for explicit calls to print/logging methods.
This means you can debug your code at runtime, anytime.
Automated method tracing may be turned on or off via an argument to the JVM.
Support for information, warning, error and exception logging is also included.

Commons Logging

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: Apache Jakarta
Latest version: 1.0.5 Alpha
Description: The Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL) provides a Log interface that is intended to be both light-weight and an independent abstraction of other logging toolkits. It provides the middleware/tooling developer with a simple logging abstraction, that allows the user (application developer) to plug in a specific logging implementation.

JCL provides thin-wrapper Log implementations for other logging tools, including Log4J , Avalon LogKit , the Avalon Framework's logging infrastructure, Simple Log, JDK 1.4, and an implementation of JDK 1.4 logging APIs (JSR-47) for pre-1.4 systems. The interface maps closely to Log4J and LogKit.

P6Spy

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: P6Spy
Latest version: 1.3
Description: P6Spy is an open source framework for applications that intercept and optionally modify database statements. The P6Spy distribution includes the following modules:

* P6Log. P6Log intercepts and logs the database statements of any application that uses JDBC. This application is particularly useful for developers to monitor the SQL statements produced by EJB servers, enabling the developer to write code that achieves maximum efficiency on the server. P6Spy is designed to be installed in minutes and requires no code changes.

* P6Outage. P6Outage detects long-running statements that may be indicative of a database outage proble and will log any statement that surpasses the configurable time boundary during its execution. P6Outage was designed to minimize any logging performance penalty by logging only long running statements.
P6Spy includes installation instructions for JBoss, ATG, Orion, JOnAS, iPlanet, WebLogic, WebSphere, Resin and Tomcat.

Simple Log

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: Graham Lea
Latest version: 1.6
Description: Logging anti-framework.

- "Brief" API (i.e short methods names)
- Fast-failing for unlogged messages
- Writes to System.err or to a specified file

- Ability to switch tracing on and off independent of the debug level
- Package-based, hierarchical inheritance of debug levels and trace flags
- Special printing of exceptions, object arrays, byte arrays and char arrays
- Instance-based logging records
- Configurable through code, while running

Lock Analyzer for Java

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: IBM
Description: Cross-platform tool that provides an insight into how well Java locks are performing in a live Java application.

IBM Lock Analyzer for Java is a tool consisting of two packages. The first package is platform-dependant and provides a connection to the Java virtual machine (JVM) for gathering lock statistics on the running application. This package gets loaded at run time along with the application to be monitored. The second package is not platform-dependant and provides a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface connects to the platform package and provides the controls and analysis required for identifying badly performing locks.

Categories:
Latest version: 1.0 beta4
Description: The Simple Logging Facade for Java or (SLF4J) is intended to serve as a facade for various logging APIs allowing to the end-user to plug in the desired implementation at deployment time.

Logging API implementations can either choose to implement the the SLF4J interfaces directly, e.g. NLOG4J or SimpleLogger. Alternatively, it is possible (and rather easy) to write SLF4J adapters for the given API implementation, a la JDK14LoggerFA.
