Forward Declaration

[Jon Dahl]

Hello,

I'm wondering if it is possible to use forward declaration with log4cxx classes 
in a class header file. I would like to exclude the log4cxx headers files in my 
header files if possible and include the log4cxx header files in my cpp(source) 
files.

Should this work?

// Test.hpp
namespace log4cxx {
class LoggerPtr;
}

class Test {
private:
    static log4cxx:LoggerPtr    _logger;

public:
    Test();
};

//Test.cpp

#include <log4cxx/logger.h>

using namespace log4cxx;

LoggerPtr Test::_logger(Logger::getRootLogger());

Test::Test() {
}

// end test.cpp

Thanks,
