Logging

BEA AquaLogic Service Registry wraps the Log4j logging service to log errors, warnings, and other information. By default:

All such events are logged to REGISTRY_HOME\log\logEvents.log.
All errors including stack traces are logged to REGISTRY_HOME\log\errorEvents.log.
Behavior descriptions are configured in REGISTRY_HOME\conf\log4j.config.

To use the same logging mechanism in custom server code (such as the Custom Validation Service):

Import com.idoox.debug.Category to your java class:

import com.idoox.debug.Category;

Create static instance with name of the category:

private static Category log = Category.getCategory("com.company.MyValidationService");

It is a good habit to name the category according to its class name. You can use the category

                         
...
try{
      ...
} catch(Exception e){
   log.error("Fatal error", e);
    }
...
