Akka/Scala example source code file (jul.rst)

This example Akka source code file (jul.rst) is included in my "Source Code Warehouse" project. The intent of this project is to help you more easily find Akka and Scala source code examples by using tags.

All credit for the original source code belongs to akka.io; I'm just trying to make examples easier to find. (For my Scala work, see my Scala examples and tutorials.)

Java Logging (JUL)
==================

This extension module provides a logging backend which uses the `java.util.logging` (j.u.l)
API to do the endpoint logging for `akka.event.Logging`.

Provided with this module is an implementation of `akka.event.LoggingAdapter` which is independent of any `ActorSystem` being in place. This means that j.u.l can be used as the backend, via the Akka Logging API, for both Actor and non-Actor codebases.

To enable j.u.l as the `akka.event.Logging` backend, use the following Akka config:

  loggers = ["akka.contrib.jul.JavaLogger"]

To access the `akka.event.Logging` API from non-Actor code, mix in `akka.contrib.jul.JavaLogging`.

This module is preferred over SLF4J with its JDK14 backend, due to integration issues resulting in the incorrect handling of `threadId`, `className` and `methodName`.

This extension module was contributed by Sam Halliday.
