Liferay: what is the default approach for logging in Liferay?

By development of portlets, hooks etc. I have seen different approaches for logging in Liferay. Is there default logging approach - The Liferay Way - that I can use.

1.How to initialize the logger?

2.How to config the logging levels?

I have seen that the logging level can be modified direct in Liferay - Control Panel, is it good? How can I combine it with config file?

Solution

  • You can find the basic logging information you need in Liferay Documentation.

    Summarized: you should instantiate your Log4j Log object through LogFactory, identified by the current class name, then enable that log category on the control panels "Log level" settings tab.
