Class Log

java.lang.Object
  com.ibm.commons.log.Log

public class Log
extends java.lang.Object

Base class for all loggers.

Used to define the logging groups. It is a very good practice to define all the groups in the same class so they get initialized when this class is loaded. This ensures that the Java registry is loaded and then can be queried by runtime code.
