Why calling LoggerFactory.getLogger(…) every time is not recommended?

Question

I\'ve read tons of posts and documents (on this site and elsewhere) pointing that the recommended pattern for SFL4J logging is:

public class MyClass {
    fi         


        

Answer 1

As stated here by the SLF4J team you can use MethodLookup() introduced in JDK 1.7.

final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MethodHandles.lookup().lookupClass());

This way you can refer to the class without the need of using the keyword "this".
