All I can say is "wow". I didn't mean to touch off such a controversial topic on my first day on the list.

According to the name "Loggable", a class willing to use a logger should extend the AbstractLoggable class, right? As a big OO fan, I can see the advantage of this approach, but AFAIK Java only supports single extension. Should I work with mock objects in classes that already extend a base class? Last question: why should we need this solution when the current one: - works fine (and nobody cares as long as it works) - is used by tons of other projects - is recommended by the Commons-Logging folks -Vladimir -- Vladimir R.
