[weld-dev] Loggers aren't serializable?

[Arbi Sookazian]

"The SLF4JLog and SLF4JLocationAwareLog classes are now serializable solving
serialization problems encountered with certain libraries which attempt to
serialize JCL log instances."

www.*slf4j*.*org*/news.html

So why doesn't org.slf4j.Logger extend java.io.Serializable?

public class *SLF4JLog*extends Object
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html?is-external=true>implements
Log <http://www.slf4j.org/apidocs/org/apache/commons/logging/Log.html>,
Serializable <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/Serializable.html?is-external=true>

 Implementation of
org.apache.commons.logging.Log<http://www.slf4j.org/apidocs/org/apache/commons/logging/Log.html>interface
which delegates all processing to a wrapped
org.slf4j.Logger <http://www.slf4j.org/apidocs/org/slf4j/Logger.html>instance.

Apparently log4j loggers are not Serializable either:
