What I am looking for is a way set a logger based on the thread of
execution.  In want to use this in a server process so, my example as a
server:
void login() {
    Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger( "org.widgets.login" );
    getUser();
    ...
}
void logout() {
    Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger( "org.widgets.logout" );
    getUser();
    ...
}
void getUser() {
     // Which logger do I use?
}
So, getUser() would "inherit" its Logger based on who calls it (thread
of execution) not a parent object.

Pardon my asking but what is wrong with:
 void getUser() {
     Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger( "org.widgets.getUser" );
 }
or just
 void getUser() {
     Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger( "org.widgets" );
 }
Why should the logging in getUser() care if it has been called by login() 
or by logout()?

Please bear with me, I am trying to understand the use case.
