The transient attribute prevents the reference from being included in serialization of the encapsulating object (e.g., session recovery or beans being shared across cluster nodes). It's a good practice to follow for references that have no meaning outside of the local instantiation. Just have to remember that the field can turn up null after deserialization. Private just means that sub-classes can't share this logger definition, and have to do their own. Whether or not that's good practice depends on your application architecture. > Does this somehow allow avoid memory leaks where the > classloader cannot be garbage collected?
