Class WsLevel

java.lang.Object

java.util.logging.Level

com.ibm.websphere.logging.WsLevel

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class WsLevel
extends java.util.logging.Level

The WsLevel class extends the java.util.logging.Level class, which defines a set of standard logging levels that can be used to control logging output. We extend that class to add WebSphere-specific levels, since the base set of levels are inadequate.
