3 Logging
This documentation is no longer maintained. Please see the new GeoServer documentation at http://docs.geoserver.org
Most GeoServer logging conventions are directly inherited from GeoTools, see [GEOT:5.1.3 Logging] for more information.
In general, most programmer level logging should be at FINE and less. INFO should be messages to users of things going on, and kept to a minimum. FINE is good for things that happen once per request, FINER for repeated actions.
 | Do not use any System.out calls |
System.out calls are much harder to turn off. There should always be a logger available, and if there's not just add a standard one.
