Hi

In logger singleton pattern is used. What will happen if logger object are not singleton?

Thanks

isn't it every Class has its own logger instance e.g.

Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Test.class);

So how come it become Singleton ? am I missing something ?

Which logger are you talking about?

[javin.paul]

any one let's say Log4j one. it follow pattern

Looger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);

[Tolls]

That wasn't entirely aimed at you, but Apache and (I believe) log4j Loggers aren't singletons, as you say.
But Jos wasn't actually saying that any particular logger was a Singleton, but merely answering what would happen if some mythical singleton logger (you'd have to ask the OP what that is) were not a singleton.
