Spring constructor injection of SLF4J logger - how to get injection target class?

Question

I\'m trying to use Spring to inject a SLF4J logger into a class like so:

@Component
public class Example {

  private final Logger logger;

  @Autowired
  pu

1. Why are you creating a new logger for each instance? The typical pattern is to have one logger per class (as a private static member).

2. If you really do want to do it that way: Maybe you can write a logger factory class, and inject that? Something like:

   @Singleton 
   public class LogFactory { 
       public Logger getLogger(Object o) {  
           return LoggerFactory.getLogger(o.getClass());  
       }  
   }
