Simple Design Trace. Dialog is used by Thick Clients by Administrators (typically) to control trace via a Swing GUI (JDialog). This can be added to your menu/button bar as needed. Trace is the main class - use it as a Singleton to gain access to Trace functionality. Make calls to register object levels/names and to turn on/off trace level at runtime. Web. Trace. Servlet is mapped in your web. xml file so that administrators can access that URL to see the web control admin interface to turn on/off trace levels.
