Disabling logging can be useful for performance analysis without any I/O overhead or to reduce verbosity at the console. To do this, set the org.apache.commons.logging.Log to org.apache.commons.logging.impl.NoOpLog. To do this via command line:
java -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.NoOpLog mypkg.MyClassHowever, disabling logging permanently will cause all error messages to be consumed. So, we recommend using one of the more sophisticated mechanisms described below.

Versions of the Apache Commons Logging prior to 1.0.3 ignore the org.apache.commons.logging.Log system property. To resolve this, upgrade to a more recent version of the logging APIs. | |
