With log4j, the same-named logger (i.e., via the class or class name you 
pass to the constructor) is the same logger instance.  It is better to name 
a logger by the class that uses it, as documented in the log4j instructions. 
This helps ops to maintain the program.  I don't know whose convenience 
you're trying to serve, "a", but I will bet dollars to doughnuts it's not 
the folks whose convenience you ought to serve, namely the production 
personnel.

Logging isn't for programmers, it's for ops.

I wonder if "a" means that you cannot instantiate a logger as a static 
variable, which of course is nonsense.  You most definitely can, and 
sometimes should, instantiate a logger as a static variable.

If "a" refers to objects in general, then it's even more nonsensical.  It's 
Java.  Of course you can instantiate objects as static members.

Perhaps "a" ought to clarify his meaning.  "a"?

Also, "a", I heartily recommend you read *and study* the documentation for 
log4j (or any other framework that you use).

Hi Lew,

Thank you very much.
I will review the problem for my static logger.
Can you please explain my first question?
Besides, it is made for the job, why servlet context listener is better than 
using servlet with high load priority?

Thanks
