sub-classing logger

[Lutz Michael <mi...@siemens.com>]

Ceki,

In an email earlier today you stated:

"Sub-classing is discouraged for various reasons. In particular,
retrieving an instance of a logger of some sub-class, say A, will
result in a ClassCastException if a logger of the same name but
different class exists already."

Is the exception thrown only if the logger names are in the same scope, or
does the problem occur at the scope of the class loader?

e.g. if method A calls method B, and each has its own logger each with the
same name but of different types, does the exception get thrown?

I'm just trying to understand this problem a little more exactly.

Thanks as always for your time.

Mike
