Why and when to perform this task
Deprecation: The JRas framework that is described in this
information center is deprecated. However, you can achieve the same results
using Java logging.
Designers and developers of applications that run
with or under WebSphere Application Server, such as servlets, JavaServer Pages
(JSP) files , enterprise beans, client applications, and their supporting
classes, might find it useful to use Java logging for generating their application
logging.
This approach has advantages over simply adding
System.out.println statements
to your code:
- Your messages are displayed in the WebSphere Application Server standard
log files, using standard message format with additional data, such as a date
and time stamp that are added automatically.
- You can more easily correlate problems and events in your own application
to problems and events that are associated with WebSphere Application Server
components.
- You can take advantage of the WebSphere Application Server log file management
features.
- You can view your messages with the Log Analyzer tool.
