Sebb commented on LOGGING-137:
------------------------------
As far as I can tell, reflection is not now used to generate the stack trace,
so the depth of the stack frame should be fixed and therefore does not need to
be calculated.
The only code that depends on Java1.4+ is the code that uses
Throwable.getStackTrace() to make it easier to parse the stack frames.
So I think the code can be simplified further:
1) generate the trace (at known stack depth offset)
2) extract the class name using whatever methods are available to the running
code.

> Key: LOGGING-137
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGGING-137
> Project: Commons Logging
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 1.1.2
> Reporter: Doug Bateman
> Attachments: CallStackTestCase.java, CallStackUtil.java.0,
> CallStackUtil.java.1, CallStackUtil.java.2, LogFactory.java
>
> Original Estimate: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.5h
>
> Presently, in Apache Commons, the most common way to get a logger is to do
> something like:
> public class MyClass {
> private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(MyClass.class);
> }
> Notice how MyClass.class (or alternatively a string name) is passed as a
> parameter. The annoying aspect of this is that sometimes the class name
> doesn't get updated when doing copy/paste operations. A desirable
> alternative might be:
> public class MyClass {
> private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(); //class name inferred from
> call stack
> }
> With such an approach there are two possible concerns I can foresee:
> * Call stack inspection isn't terribly fast. However since Loggers are
> generally initialized only once, when the class is first loaded, performance
> isn't likely to be a major problem.
> * Commons-logging is Java 1.1 compatible. Thus care must be taken to
> ensure compatibility isn't broken.
> * Commons-logging doesn't depend on commons-lang, and thus the utilities
> in commons-lang cannot be used.
> In Java 1.4, the call stack is easily obtained using Thread.getCallStack().
> Prior to Java 1.4, the only way to obtain the call stack is to inspect the
> stack trace of an exception.
