No need to call getLogger() each time your methods are called. You can 
place the different loggers namely logger3, logger4, ..., logger10 in a 
HashMap (or even a Vector) and retrieve them from the HashMap. If a logger 
is not in the HashMap only then do you call getLogger().

The solution outlined above should work very well for the finite and 
delimited problem you describe.
