Java logger that automatically determines caller's class name

Question

public static Logger getLogger() {
    final Throwable t = new Throwable();
    final StackTraceElement methodCaller = t.getStackTrace()[1];
    final Logger logger          


        

Answer 1

Take a look at Logger class from jcabi-log. It does exactly what you're looking for, providing a collection of static methods. You don't need to embed loggers into classes any more:

import com.jcabi.log.Logger;
class Foo {
  public void bar() {
    Logger.info(this, "doing something...");
  }
}

Logger sends all logs to SLF4J, which you can redirect to any other logging facility, in runtime.
