## weblogic.i18n.logging
Class Loggable

    java.lang.Object
      weblogic.i18n.logging.Loggable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  Loggable

    public class Loggable

extends Object

Loggable objects are used when there is a need to collect log entry data without actually logging the message until a later time. Type casting is weak for the log parameters provided when constructing. The user must ensure that the arguments associated with a particular log message are of the appropriate type and in the correct order.

It is therefore preferable to not explicitly create Loggable objects, rather they should be defined through the relevant message catalog file as follows:

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <!DOCTYPE message_catalog PUBLIC "weblogic-message-catalog-dtd" "http://www.bea.com/servers/wls600/msgcat.dtd">
        <message_catalog
           l10n_package="examples"
           i18n_package="examples"
           subsystem="LoggableExample"
           version="1.0"
           baseid="999000"
           endid="999999"
           loggables="true"
           >
           <logmessage
              messageid="999000"
              severity="info"
              method="logExample(String arg1)"
              >
              <messagebody>
                 Test message with arg, {0}
              </messagebody>
              <messagedetail>
              </messagedetail>
              <cause>
              </cause>
              <action>
              </action>
           </logmessage>
        </message_catalog>

The above catalog defines the logExample(String) method plus a logExampleLoggable(String) method. The latter is created due to the presence of the `loggables="true"` setting for the `message_catalog` element. The logExample(String) method logs the message and returns the id of the message. The logExampleLoggable(String) method does not log the message, and returns the appropriate Loggable object for the message. Loggable objects are convenient for logging messages and using the same text in a Throwable. For example,

       import examples.LoggableExampleLogger;
       import weblogic.logging.Loggable;
       ...
       // some error detected
       Loggable l = LoggableExampleLogger.logExampleLoggable("whatever");
       l.log();  // this logs the message
       throw new Exception(l.getMessage()); // creates exception with same text as logged

Constructor Detail

### Loggable

    public Loggable(String id,
                    Object[] args,
                    String className,
                    MessageLogger logger,
                    ClassLoader classLoader)

Method Detail

### log

    public String log()

  Log the message.

### getMessageBody

    public String getMessageBody()

  Gets the contents of the message body without appending a stack trace. This is particularly useful when using the value of a loggables message as the value when creating an exception.

  Returns:

### getMessage

    public String getMessage()

  Get the message in current locale with [subsytem:id] prefix.

### getMessage

    public String getMessage(Locale l)

  Get the message in specified locale with [subsytem:id] prefix.

### getMessageText

    public String getMessageText()

  Get the message in current locale, no prefix.

### getMessageText

    public String getMessageText(Locale l)

  Get the message in specified locale, no prefix.

### getId

    public String getId()

  Get the message id.
