Hi Greg,
have you read "Should Logger members of a class be declared as
static?" -
http://slf4j.org/faq.html#declared_static? Any comments?
Not before just now. I'm curious to know who "this author" is,
because he's basically recalling us what a static variable is... duh.
The point is: in webapps, you have a separate classloader (and that's
per the spec, afaik). Log4j being loaded by the webapp and not the
container (at least.. ideally...), I don't think it's a concern.
Besides, I'm generally against logging and in favor of short-lived
instances. I wouldn't want a fanatic logger to argue that his classes
has to have a long life (i.e as a singleton when it's unnecessary)
for the sake of avoiding retrieving a logger instance at every
instanciation (while instanciation IS cheap per se, I'm not convinced
that retrieving a logger is; that mostly depends on the underlying
logging mechanism, I guess)
