http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305 Priority: P5 Bug ID: 305 Assignee: slf4j-dev@qos.ch Summary: Add default logger method Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: ggerard@gmail.com Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: 1.7.x Component: Core API Product: SLF4J The typical way of adding logging to a class involves a reference to the class itself: private static final Logger kLogger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class); Not all tooling catches renames and whatnot -- I've had several occasions where the old class reference inadvertently came along for the ride and made for misleading logs. I started putting this into a little utility class in my projects to prevent this and I think it would be a good addition to LoggerFactory. While the stacktrace calls might not be the cheapest, it's only hit during class initialization. public static Logger getDefaultClassLogger() { return LoggerFactory.getLogger(Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getClassName()); } -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
