Re: Getting Information on a Calling Class

I use this for creating my log4j loggers: (idea came from Hein Kabutz)

private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.make();

and behind this make method is:

public static Logger make(){
    Throwable t = new Throwable();
    StackTraceElement directCaller = t.getStackTrace()[1];
    Logger l = null;
    try {
        l =
Logger.getLogger(Class.forName(directCaller.getClassName()));

    } catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe ) {
        l = Logger.getLogger(directCaller.getClassName());
    }
           return l;
}
