Log4j In Action

Logging is very important for the maintenance of  a deployed application. Just assume a situation that we deploy our application on the client systems and work on another project. After some time client reports a failure of our system. What will happen if we haven't maintained a log file! We may be in a big trouble in such situations. It may be very hard to track where the bug occurred. Because we haven't any IDE's , debuggers on deployed machine.

So it is always recommended to use a logging mechanism for large applications. Logging may be a overhead if we don't use it carefully. We can use logging inside exception handling blocks.
