Class DefaultLoggerManager

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.DefaultLoggerManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

LoggerManager, Disposable, Configurable, Contextualizable, LogEnabled, Serviceable, ThreadSafe

public final class DefaultLoggerManager
extends java.lang.Object
implements LoggerManager, ThreadSafe, LogEnabled, Contextualizable, Configurable, Serviceable, Disposable

This logger manager is a wrapper around all other "real" logger managers. The idea is to have one single configuration file where you can define, which logger manager (Log4J, LogKit etc.) you want to use, so you don't have to hard-code this.
