<font color="#AA2222"><b>This class has been deprecated and
 replaced by the <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/Logger.html" title="class in org.apache.log4j"><CODE>Logger</CODE></A> <em>subclass</em></b></font>. It
 will be kept around to preserve backward compatibility until mid
 2003.
 
 <p><code>Logger</code> is a subclass of Category, i.e. it extends
 Category. In other words, a logger <em>is</em> a category. Thus,
 all operations that can be performed on a category can be
 performed on a logger. Internally, whenever log4j is asked to
 produce a Category object, it will instead produce a Logger
 object. Log4j 1.2 will <em>never</em> produce Category objects but
 only <code>Logger</code> instances. In order to preserve backward
 compatibility, methods that previously accepted category objects
 still continue to accept category objects.
 
 <p>For example, the following are all legal and will work as
 expected.
 
   <pre>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// Deprecated form:
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Category cat = Category.getInstance("foo.bar")

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// Preferred form for retrieving loggers:
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("foo.bar")
   </pre>

  <p>The first form is deprecated and should be avoided.
 
  <p><b>There is absolutely no need for new client code to use or
  refer to the <code>Category</code> class.</b> Whenever possible,
  please avoid referring to it or using it.
 
 <p>See the <a href="../../../../manual.html">short manual</a> for an
 introduction on this class.
 <p>
 See the document entitled <a href="http://www.qos.ch/logging/preparingFor13.html">preparing
  for log4j 1.3</a> for a more detailed discussion.

<DL>
<DD>Check whether this category is enabled for the <code>DEBUG</code>
  Level.

  <p> This function is intended to lessen the computational cost of
  disabled log debug statements.

  <p> For some <code>cat</code> Category object, when you write,
  <pre>
      cat.debug("This is entry number: " + i );
  </pre>

  <p>You incur the cost constructing the message, concatenatiion in
  this case, regardless of whether the message is logged or not.

  <p>If you are worried about speed, then you should write
  <pre>
         if(cat.isDebugEnabled()) {
           cat.debug("This is entry number: " + i );
         }
  </pre>

  <p>This way you will not incur the cost of parameter
  construction if debugging is disabled for <code>cat</code>. On
  the other hand, if the <code>cat</code> is debug enabled, you
  will incur the cost of evaluating whether the category is debug
  enabled twice. Once in <code>isDebugEnabled</code> and once in
  the <code>debug</code>.  This is an insignificant overhead
  since evaluating a category takes about 1%% of the time it
  takes to actually log.

<DD>Calling this method will <em>safely</em> close and remove all

     <p>Some appenders such as <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/net/SocketAppender.html" title="class in org.apache.log4j.net"><CODE>SocketAppender</CODE></A>
     and <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/AsyncAppender.html" title="class in org.apache.log4j"><CODE>AsyncAppender</CODE></A> need to be closed before the
     application exists. Otherwise, pending logging events might be
     lost.

     <p>The <code>shutdown</code> method is careful to close nested
     appenders before closing regular appenders. This is allows
     configurations where a regular appender is attached to a category
     and again to a nested appender.

<DL>
<DD>Log a message object with the <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/Level.html#WARN"><CODE>WARN</CODE></A> Level.

    <p>This method first checks if this category is <code>WARN</code>

    enabled, then it converts the message object passed as parameter
    to a string by invoking the appropriate
    <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/or/ObjectRenderer.html" title="interface in org.apache.log4j.or"><CODE>ObjectRenderer</CODE></A>. It
    proceeds to call all the registered appenders in this category and

    additivity flag.
