isDebugEnabled有什么用?
这几天在读Spring MVC源码时,发现了如下代码:
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Using ThemeResolver [" + this.themeResolver + "]");
}
初看有些不解,觉着在设置了高于debug级别的log输出时,logger.debug(...)原本就不会输出,为什么还需要logger.isDebugEnabled()。
在org.apache.commons.logging.Log的代码注释中找到了答案:
* <p>Performance is often a logging concern.
* By examining the appropriate property,
* a component can avoid expensive operations (producing information
* to be logged).</p>
*
* <p> For example,
* <code><pre>
* if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
* ... do something expensive ...
* log.debug(theResult);
* }
* </pre></code>
* </p>
也就是说,是为了避免一些logger.debug(...)准备工作的执行,从而提高性能。至于本文提到的例子,应该属于最简单的情况,避免无用的String参数拼接。
相应的,也不是只有debug级别才有这个方法,每一个log级别都有对应的enabled方法供调用。org.apache.commons.logging.Log接口的代码如下,供参考。
public interface Log {
// ----------------------------------------------------- Logging Properties
public boolean isDebugEnabled();
public boolean isErrorEnabled();
public boolean isFatalEnabled();
public boolean isInfoEnabled();
public boolean isTraceEnabled();
public boolean isWarnEnabled();
// -------------------------------------------------------- Logging Methods
public void trace(Object message);
public void trace(Object message, Throwable t);
public void debug(Object message);
public void debug(Object message, Throwable t);
public void info(Object message);
public void info(Object message, Throwable t);
public void warn(Object message);
public void warn(Object message, Throwable t);
public void error(Object message);
public void error(Object message, Throwable t);
public void fatal(Object message);
public void fatal(Object message, Throwable t);
}
