Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on LOGGING-95:
----------------------------------------------
probably close as won't do if we're now nudging people to other logging
frameworks.
> Extended API: getChildLogger(String)

> This is a feature request for the commons-logging API already discussed on
> the mailing list. The idea is to have an extended interface rather than Log
> that adds additional methods (getChildLogger and getName) that have already
> been requested for a long while. The suggested approach does not break
> compatibility of JCL. The existing Log interface is not touched and shall
> esp. not be deprecated. The new interface may only be used as needed but aims
> to prevent having even more additional logging APIs in future. The suggestion
> is to change the implementation in a way that all classes that implement Log
> shall implement Logger and fullfill the contract of the additional methods.
> In my request I still leave it open what happens to LogFactory but my
> suggestion is to leave it untouched (except for javadoc updates). Further I
> recomment to add an abstract class to the "impl" package that implements the
> Logger interface but does not implement any methods. The Logger interface may
> then recommend in its javadoc to extend the abstract class rather than
> directly implementing the interface. This would allow to have less trouble if
> -however- in future an additional feature request for the Logger API arises.
