helma.logging

The helma.logging module provides logging functionality using Apache log4j.

helma.logging can be configured by passing a log4j XML or properties configuration file to the setConfig() method. The default configuration is file modules/config/log4j.properties.

Helma provides a special Appender class called org.helma.util.RhinoAppender that allows to send log messages to a Javascript callback function.

import('helma/logging');
var log = helma.logging.getLogger(module.id);

Then the following code ...

log.info("Hello world!");
try {
    foo.bar;
} catch (e) {
    log.error(e, e.rhinoException);
}

... will produce the following output on the rendered page:
