Description
It is a poor logging practice to use multiple loggers rather than logging levels in a single class.
Good logging practice dictates the use of a single logger that supports different logging levels for each class.
Risk Factors
TBD
Examples
The following code errantly declares multiple loggers.
public class MyClass {
private final static Logger good =
Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);
private final static Logger bad =
Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);
private final static Logger ugly =
Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);
...
}
