Question

In our webapp we’re using java.util.Logging (JULI, actually, since we deploy to Tomcat 6). Logging is configured by a logging.properties file in WEB-INF/classes, a la this.

I’d like to configure the logger so it can be autowired, something like:

@Autowired
private Logger mylogger;

I’ve searched the Spring forums, the web, and of course Stack Overflow and I can’t find how to set this up. I’d appreciate any help on this.

Thanks!

Answer 1

One way would be to use the Java Config style, so you’d have one bean like this:

@Configuration
public class LoggerProvider {
    @Bean
    public Logger logger() {
        return Logger.getLogger("foobar.whatever");
    }
}

That could then be autowired into the rest of the app as normal.
