Method Detail

getInstance

public static LogFactory getInstance()

getLogger

public Logger getLogger(Class clazz)

Gets the logger associated with the specified class. The class is used by the logger to log which class is generating the log events. The implementation of this method should return any preexisting Logger associated with this class name, rather than creating a new Logger.

The JavaLogFactory reference implementation meets these requirements.

Specified by:

getLogger in interface LogFactory

Parameters:

clazz - The name of the class requesting the logger.

Returns:

The Logger associated with this class.

getLogger

public Logger getLogger(String moduleName)

Gets the logger associated with the specified module name. The module name is used by the logger to log which module is generating the log events. The implementation of this method should return any preexisting Logger associated with this module name, rather than creating a new Logger.

The JavaLogFactory reference implementation meets these requirements.

Specified by:

getLogger in interface LogFactory

Parameters:

moduleName - The name of the module requesting the logger.

Returns:

The Logger associated with this module.
