2.3. RESTEasyLogging

RESTEasy logs various events using slf4j.
The slf4j API is intended to serve as a simple facade for various logging APIs, allowing you to plug in the desired implementation at deployment time. By default, RESTEasy is configured to use Apache log4j, but you can use any logging provider supported by slf4j.
The initial set of logging categories defined in the framework is listed below. Further logging categories are being added, but these should make it easier to troubleshoot issues.

Table 2.1. Logging Categories

Category Function
org.jboss.resteasy.core Logs all activity by the core RESTEasy implementation.
org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers Logs all activity by RESTEasy entity providers.
org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server Logs all activity by the RESTEasy server implementation.
org.jboss.resteasy.specimpl Logs all activity by JAX-RS implementing classes.
org.jboss.resteasy.mock Logs all activity by the RESTEasy mock framework.
If you are developing RESTEasy code, the LoggerCategories class provides easy access to category names and the various loggers.
