Maybe the two Joergs (and whoever likes this proposal) may get together doing this.
Just let me know if I get it right: We add a new interface called Logger that extends Log. That is going to have two additional methods "String getName()" "Logger getChildLogger(String)" Is that right? You would also like me to send patches for the exisitng implementations so they implement Logger instead of Log? Further I leave things like LogFactory untouched. So whoever wants to have these two additional methods may cast from Log to Logger if he uses the LogFactory. Is that the right way to keep things easy and have no trouble with compatibility? > > Regards, > > Simon > > PS: Two Joerg Schaibles? How confusing! > > My name is Jörg Hohwiller. Thanks a lot so far!
