How do I prevent the logger send log messages to its parent logger?

Date: 2010-09-16. Category: Java Logging examples. Hits: 3K time(s).

To prevent log records being forwarded to the logger's parent handlers we can set false the useParentHandlers field using the Logger.setUserParentHandlers(boolean useParentHandlers) method.

package org.kodejava.example.util.logging;

import java.util.logging.Logger;
import java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler;

public class NoParentLogger {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(NoParentLogger.class.getName());

        //
        // Do not forward any log messages the the logger parent handlers.
        //
        logger.setUseParentHandlers(false);

        //
        // Specify a ConsoleHanlder for this logger instance.
        //
        logger.addHandler(new ConsoleHandler());
        logger.info("Logging an information message.");
    }
}
