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         


        

Answer 1

I am trying to get this feature into official SLF4J API. Please support/vote/contribute: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBLOGGING-62

(this feature is already implemented by JBoss Logging + Seam Solder, see http://docs.jboss.org/seam/3/latest/reference/en-US/html/solder-logging.html)

11.4. Native logger API

You can also inject a "plain old" Logger (from the JBoss Logging API):

import javax.inject.Inject;
import org.jboss.logging.Logger;

public class LogService {

    @Inject
    private Logger log;

    public void logMessage() {
        log.info("Hey sysadmins!");
    }

}

Log messages created from this Logger will have a category (logger name) equal to the fully-qualified class name of the bean implementation class. You can specify a category explicitly using an annotation.

@Inject @Category("billing")
private Logger log;

You can also specify a category using a reference to a type:

@Inject @TypedCategory(BillingService.class)
private Logger log;

Sorry for not providing a relevant answer.
