| <p>The <a href="https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/">OSGi Service Compendium specification</a> defines a general purpose <a href="https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.log.html">Log Service</a> for the OSGi Platform. |
| It is a very simple specification that doesn’t provide all the functionality commonly available in enterprise-level logging tools, but its extensible service model can be used to build fairly sophisticated logging solutions.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The Log Service specification defines the following entities:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="ulist"> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p><em>`org.osgi.service.log.Logger`</em> - (<em>since 1.4</em>) interface that allows a bundle to log information, including a message, a level, an exception, and a <code>ServiceReference</code> object. |
| The formatting style using <code>{}</code> placeholders follows the <em>slf4j</em> approach. |
| A derivative of <code>Logger</code> called <code>FormatterLogger</code> uses the <code>java.util.Formatter</code> syntax.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><em>`org.osgi.service.log.LoggerFactory`</em> - (<em>since 1.4</em>) service interface that allows a bundle to obtain a Logger. |
| A Logger is named and associated with a <code>Bundle</code> object.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><em>`org.osgi.service.log.admin.LoggerContext`</em> - (<em>since 1.4</em>) interface that allows the configuration of effective logging levels for a Bundle. |
| The configuration can be set in Configuration Admin and via method calls.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><em>`org.osgi.service.log.admin.LoggerAdmin`</em> - (<em>since 1.4</em>) interface for managing the configuration of log levels.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><em>`org.osgi.service.log.LogService`</em> - <em>legacy</em> service interface that allows a bundle to log information, including a message, a level, an exception, a <code>ServiceReference</code> object, and a <code>Bundle</code> object. |
| The methods of this service are deprecated and it is recommended to use LoggerFactory and Loggers instead.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><em>`org.osgi.service.log.LogReaderService`</em> - service interface that allows access to a list of recent <code>LogEntry</code> objects, and allows the registration of a <code>LogListener</code> object that receives <code>LogEntry</code> objects as they are created.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><em>`org.osgi.service.log.LogEntry`</em> - interface defining a log entry.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><em>`org.osgi.service.log.LogListener`</em> - interface defining a listener for log entries, which is notified about new log entries.</p> |
| </li> |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Declarative Services (<em>since 1.4</em>) has a convenient integration which allows a component to obtain a logger specific to it’s class with little effort by using a reference who’s service type is <code>LoggerFactory</code> while the injection type is either <code>Logger</code> or <code>FormatterLogger</code>:</p> |

| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The Log Service specification doesn’t define any particular entity to store, display, or write log entries; |
| it’s up to the developer to implement this functionality or to choose an available implementation capable of doing that. |
| To create such a bundle, the first step is to create an implementation of the <code>LogListener</code> interface. |
| The following code shows a simple implementation that echoes the log message:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre class="highlightjs highlight"><code class="language-java hljs" data-lang="java"> public class LogWriter implements LogListener |
| { |
| // Invoked by the log service implementation for each log entry |
| public void logged(LogEntry entry) |
| { |
| System.out.println(entry.getMessage()); |
| } |
| }</code></pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The only method to implement is <code>logged()</code> method, which is called every time a log entry is created in the associated logging service. |
| A <code>LogListener</code> implementation must be registered with the <code>LogReaderService</code> so it can start receiving log entries, as demonstrated in the following code snippet:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre class="highlightjs highlight"><code class="language-java hljs" data-lang="java"> ServiceReference ref = context.getServiceReference(LogReaderService.class.getName()); |

| { |
| LogReaderService reader = (LogReaderService) context.getService(ref); |
