Re: Aspect questions?

But I'm still confused about the scope of my logs. According to the
logging overview, I want the argument to Logger.getLogger() to be "A name
for the logger. This should be a dot-separated name and should normally
be based on the package name or class name of the subsystem, such as
java.net or javax.swing."

I expect that they are assuming that each project has a unique package
name. Therefore, if my company is novice.com, then the Foo project will
presumably have a package named com.novice.foo and the Bar project will
have a package named com.novice.bar. Then, the logging for the Foo
project will be based on Logger.getLogger("com.novice.foo"), right? Then
every class within the Foo project will have the line:

Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.novice.foo");

Have I got this so far?

If so, the next logical step would be to treat all the stuff in the
Common project similarly. If I put all of those classes in package
com.novice.common, then each class would have this:

Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.novice.common");

Or would it be better to get a reference to the logger within Foo and
pass that to the classes in the Common project so that they write to the
logger used by the instantiating class from Foo?
