Agree -- private static final Logger is what I recommend. Modifiers are static then final, not vice versa. JLS section 8.3.1 defines the production
FieldModifier: one of public protected private static final transient volatile and states, "If two or more (distinct) field modifiers appear in a field declaration, it is customary, though not required, that they appear in the order consistent with that shown above in the production for FieldModifier." WRT to serialization, declaring a field both static and transient is redundant as static fields are not serialized by definition.

The perfect syntax depends on your usage of the Logger. The most common one I think, as well as the one most frequently illustrated in the log4j documentation, is private final static (which should be private static final according to JLS recommendations ;)) Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Yu Xiang Xi (Maveo) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 4:58 AM >To: 'Log4J Users List' >Subject: Questions on initial log4j instance > >I have seen different usage of initial log4j instance like below >private final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("some.name"); > and >private final transient static Logger logger = >Logger.getLogger("some.name"); >the second one has a additional keyword transient. > >Which way is recommended? >Thanks in advance. > >Best Regards >Xi Yuxiang >Maveo Systems Limited > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
