I'm new to JAVA and log4j, but I created a singleton object to be my logger that is used by all the classes in a single threaded project I'm working on.. Is this bad? I suppose I didn't know how to use the log4j api correctly, but I was getting duplicate records in my logs, so I created a singleton object that every other object uses and it solved my problem (no more duplicate entries in my logs).
