logger injection

[Romain Manni-Bucau <rm...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

injecting logger through cdi seems a common need.

i created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DELTASPIKE-122 for this
topic.

IMHO injection of non static fields is not an issue since logging framework
generally cache loggers.

The gain is to avoid boilerplate code regarding the logger category (by
default).

This issue raises 2 questions:
1) what do you think of this feature and should DS support it?
2) if yes should it support multiple implementations? (a nice way could be
to subclass JUL lik ein cxf to provide specific logger for each
implementation type)

I'm kind of at a +0 for this one.

Interesting approach, but I don't think JUL has enough features to subclass
well, maybe just pull in SL4J? I know this will really kick off when we
start the full blown logging discussion.
