[slf4j-user] Release of SLF4J version 1.5.9-RC0

Two bits of information should answer your question.

  1) A LocLogger *is* a Logger and can be used as such.
  2) When you write

  Logger lx = LoggerFactory.getLogger("X");
  LocLogger llx = llFactory.getLocLogger("X");

then "llx" is actually a wrapper around that very "lx". (llx wraps that very 
specific "lx").

So, if in a given class you are doing both regular and localized logging, the 
LocLogger is sufficient for both needs.

Getting the word out on CAL10 would be highly welcome.

No. Two bits of information should clarify the point.

  1) A LocLogger *is* a Logger and can be used as such.
  2) When you write

  Logger lx = LoggerFactory.getLogger("X");
  LocLogger llx = llFactory.getLocLogger("X");

then "llx" is actually a wrapper around that very "lx". (llx wraps that very 
specific "lx").

So, if in a given class you are doing both regular and localized logging, the 
LocLogger is sufficient for both needs.

A LocLogger should cover both needs. However, it is possible that a class needs 
to do logging before it has a chance to get a handle on a LogLoggerFactory, in 
that case, a regular Logger would be used.
