I have a static block in one of my RTC server plug-in classes in which I would like to write a message to ccm.log.  How do I obtain the RTC server Log class in the static block?  Or is there some other way of logging messages in the static block?

The server is using org.apache.commons.logging, you can get a logger using the static
Log log = LogFactory.getLog(YourClass.class);

By default I believe this will log to the server/logs/jazz.log file.
Logging settings are in server/conf/jazz/log4j.properties if you want to add specific rules for YourClass.

Thanks Andrew.  Your answer solved my problem.

I had looked at using the com.ibm.team.repository.common.LogFactory class.  But this class only has a getLog(String componentId) method, and I wasn't sure what to pass in for the componentId.

Using the getLog(Class clazz) method from the org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory class as you suggest works like a charm.  In fact, the log message is written to the RTC log (ccm.log) rather than jazz.log file just as I want.  I suspect that the getLog(Class clazz) method "knows" that my class is part of an RTC server plug-in and so returns the RTC log rather than the JTS log.

I have a similar need. My plugins extend AbstractService. Any comments on whether using AbstractService.getLog() is a good idea or not? It already appears to know how to find the componentId.
