is Logger serializable?

[Anna Battenhouse <an...@cci-triad.com>]

Hello -

I am a brand new log4j user so this is probably a stupid question, but is a
Logger meant to be serializable? Or should I mark Logger instance variables
in my serializable bean classes as transient? The Serializable interface
isn't on Logger.

Thanks,

Is making it 'final' a performance-related suggestion (i.e., does the 
compiler optimize anything if you do this), or practice-related (no 
reason to point the var at a new object)?

If you make them class static variables, it is the same as marking them as 
transient.  The recommended way to define a logger is probably....

private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class.getName());

This will not be serialized.  If you don't make it static, then do...

private transient final Logger logger = 
Logger.getLogger(DBRApplicationGateway.class.getName());
