Poor Logging Practice: Multiple Loggers
From OWASP
#REDIRECT Poor Logging Practice
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 04/7/2009
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); ... }
