Class NilLogger

java.lang.Object
  org.pf.logging.NilLogger

All Implemented Interfaces:

Logger

public class NilLogger
extends java.lang.Object
implements Logger

This class implements the Logger interface but doesn't write anything to any output device. It could be used to provide a dummy logger implementation for an application that wants to use logging, but has no logging component available (in the classpath).

Version:

1.1
