  98 logging configuration within a currently running program. The APIs also allow for logging to be 
  99 enabled or disabled for different functional areas of the system. For example, 
 100 a field service engineer might be interested in tracing all AWT events, but might have no interest in 
 101 socket events or memory management.

 104 <h2>Null Pointers</h2>
 105 <p>
 106 In general, unless otherwise noted in the javadoc, methods and
 107 constructors will throw NullPointerException if passed a null argument.
 108 The one broad exception to this rule is that the logging convenience
 109 methods in the Logger class (the config, entering, exiting, fine, finer, finest, 
 110 log, logp, logrb, severe, throwing, and warning methods)  
 111 will accept null values 
 112 for all arguments except for the initial Level argument (if any).
