Question

I’m using Spring with 3rd party product API. This product is using its own class for logging

it looks something like this:

import x.y.z.PluginLogger;
public class MyLogger extends PluginLogger{

public MyLogger(){
    super("myLogger-log4j-conf.xml");
    super.init();
}

}

now I’m initiating this logger in my code:

public static Logger logger = new MyLogger();

Now my question is simple I can initate this class file in Spring Application Context.

<bean id="logger" class="z.y.x.Logger" parent="pluginLogger">
<bean id="pluginLogger"  class="x.y.z.ParentLogger">

How can I tell Spring to use logger bean as its default logger? In other words I would like to use this bean as default logger for Spring framework and for my code I writing.?

Hope I maid myself clear.

Spring uses commons-logging.
You can create an integration between commons-logging and your logger.
