Don't have numbers yet though. How important is it to have the logger name set to the concrete class for these classes? If it's very important, I can put in an abstract method to grab a static logger from the concrete class. Or you can. :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4054753#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
