I would use wrappers, if at all, only for app or module wide special loggers (like fatal error alerting etc.), and only - if there is a special need to do something with the log event which cannot be done using the log4j framework - if some special initializing of the involved appenders is needed which cannot be done through configuration.
For debugging purpose I would recommend to use it the usual way (each class has its private logger instance which is named after the fully qualified classname). Advantages: - you keep the main benefit of log4j to finetune your log output depending on classes or packages per configuration without changing code. - you can reuse some basic classes in other apps without to have carry over your log wrapper. Applies also to unit testing which can be done without the need of initializing the wrapper framework. Disadvantages of wrapper: - wrapper instances have to be carried all along the callstack or must be accessible in a static way. - Danger of unwanted dependencies (also circular) grows.
