Element	Rules	Description
type	Mandatory	log
operand	Mandatory	the resource to be serialized to the log
operator	Optional	optional configuration document

The log accessor is used to serialize the operand resource to the system log. It is useful for debuging, for critical failure reports or for status messages. System loggers are configured by the administrator. Log entries created using this accessor are created at the APPLICATION level.

Operator Syntax

The log accessor takes an optional operator.

If the /log/string element exists then the text of the root element of the operand is serialized. If it doesn't exist or there is no operator then the whole operand is serialized to the log.

Example
