Comparing Log Levels in Java

This section describes, how to compare log levels to
each other. In Java, the Level class assigns a set of multiple logging
levels that has already an individual integer type value. With the help of this you can
compare log levels and get specified results.
There are following levels in descending order:
- SEVERE (Grater level)
- WARNING
- INFO
- CONFIG
- FINE
- FINER
- FINEST
Additional levels:
- ALL level : This level finds all the logging
messages which are enabled.
- OFF level : This is a special type of level that
assists to turn off logging.
Descriptions of program:
This program creates two objects of the Level
class with different logging levels. One is with the Level.FINEST level
and another object is created with the Level.SEVERE level. And this
program gets it's different integer value by using it's intValue()
method. This value is by default specific for the specific logging levels. These
retrieved integer value of the different level are compared at last in the
following program.
Here is the code of program:
import java.util.logging.*;
public class CompLogLevel{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Level level1 = Level.FINEST;
Level level2 = Level.SEVERE;
if (level1.intValue() == level2.intValue()){
System.out.println("Both levels are equal");
}
else if (level1.intValue() > level2.intValue()){
System.out.println("level 1 is grater than level 2.");
}
else{
System.out.println("level 2 is grater than level 1.");
}
}
}
