PrintWriter getLogWriter()

Description:

Retrieves the log writer for this DataSource object.

The log writer is a character output stream to which all logging and tracing messages for this data source will be printed. This includes messages printed by the methods of this object, messages printed by methods of other objects manufactured by this object, and so on.
