All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Level
extends Object
implements Serializable

Level objects are used to indicate the level of logging. There are a set of predefined logging levels, each associated with an integer value. Enabling a certain logging level also enables all logging levels with larger values.

The predefined levels in ascending order are FINEST, FINER, FINE, CONFIG, INFO, WARNING, SEVERE. There are two additional predefined levels, which are ALL and OFF. ALL indicates logging all messages, and OFF indicates logging no messages.
