My original proposal was to add getName to the Log interface, but I used it to create a "getChildLogger" functionality. Joerg Howiller added a new LogFactory interface extending Log to ensure backward compatibility, where this new functionality and other things have been added. To use the new functionality I have to cast every Log instance, but since I might also have to deal with an implementation of another party, I cannot rely on it. So for my personal use case, this solution is also not appropriate, since in such a case I still have no valid fallback. I understand now, that my naive first proposal would backward break compatibility I would rather wait for a 2.0 version of JCL to add this. That version might break compatibility anyway (and might therefore also need new package names). - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
