Instances of this class are used to represent log messages as they are passed between Logger, Handler, Filter and Formatter objects. LogRecord defines a number of JavaBeans-type property getter and setter methods. The values of the various properties encapsulate all details of the log message. The LogRecord( ) constructor takes arguments for the two most important properties: the log level and the log message (or localization key). The constructor also initializes the millis property to the current time, the sequenceNumber property to a unique (within the VM) value that can be used to compare the order of two log messages, and the threadID property to a unique identifier for the current thread. All other properties of the LogRecord are left uninitialized with their default null values.
