Log filters

A filter provides an optional, secondary control over what is logged, beyond the control that is provided by setting the level. Applications can apply a filter mechanism to control logging output through the logging APIs. An example of filter usage is to suppress all the events with a particular message key.

A filter is attached to a logger or log handler using the appropriate setFilter method. For a complete list of methods, see the java.util.logging documentation at http://java.sun.com/j2se/
