I didn't remember the optionality of the stacktrace myself... Good catch, Ceki. Concerning getClass() vs TheClass.class: This has an entirely different behavior in case of inheritance. class A { void foo() { logger.debug("foo"); } } class B extends A { void bar() { foo(); logger.debug("bar"); } } If class A and class B would obtain their logger using getLogger(A.class) and getLogger(B.class) then they would log like this when bar() is called: DEBUG - A - foo DEBUG - B - bar If they used getLogger(getClass()) instead, the log events would look like this: DEBUG - B - foo DEBUG - B - bar Further, configuring the level of the A logger would only have an effect on instances of A, not on instances of B. Calling a.foo() behave differently than calling b.foo(). I'd expect a message like DEBUG - B - foo to originate from class B and would be confused to find the actual call in class A. I've also created myself an IDEA LiveTemplate for the creation of Logger instances ;) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
