I am starting to use/recommend log4j as our default logging tool and I
have spoken with many collegues, but I was wondering what is the best
implementation?

Do you write a wrapper around the logger or just something like this
in every class.

thanks for any help

package logging;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;

public class TestLog {

    static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( TestLog.class );

    public static void main( String [] args ) {

        PropertyConfigurator.configure( "loginfo.properties" );

        logger.info( "STARTING APP" );
        logger.debug( "initializing cntr" );
        logger.info( "ENDING APP" );

 }

}
