Field Detail

FAILED

public static final Level FAILED

FAILED is a message level indicating that a facility has experienced a failure that it will reflect to its caller.

FAILED messages are intended to provide users with information about failures produced by internal components in order to assist with debugging problems in systems with multiple components. This level is initialized to 600.

HANDLED

public static final Level HANDLED

HANDLED is a message level indicating that a facility has detected a failure that it will take steps to handle without reflecting the failure to its caller.

HANDLED messages are intended to provide users with information about failures detected by internal components in order to assist with debugging problems in systems with multiple components. This level is initialized to 550.

Method Detail

createLevel

private static Level createLevel(String name,
                int value,
                String resourceBundleName)

Creates an instance of the Level class. This method works around the fact that there is no public constructor for the Level class by constructing the serialized form for an instance with the specified field values and deserializing it.
