log4j中Logger.getLogger为什么一定要加载一个类

  /**
   * Retrieve a logger named according to the value of the
   * <code>name</code> parameter. If the named logger already exists,
   * then the existing instance will be returned. Otherwise, a new
   * instance is created.  
   *
   * <p>By default, loggers do not have a set level but inherit it
   * from their neareast ancestor with a set level. This is one of the
   * central features of log4j.
   *
   * @param name The name of the logger to retrieve.  
  */
  static
  public
  Logger getLogger(String name) {
    return LogManager.getLogger(name);
  }

  /**
   * Shorthand for <code>getLogger(clazz.getName())</code>.
   *
   * @param clazz The name of <code>clazz</code> will be used as the
   * name of the logger to retrieve.  See {@link #getLogger(String)}
   * for more detailed information.
   */
  static
  public
  Logger getLogger(Class<?> clazz) {
    return LogManager.getLogger(clazz.getName());
  }

源码可以看出  ---不管是传的  

Class<?> clazz 还是String  最后给getLogger的都是String  

也就是说 

private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(TestTidebuy.class.getName());
private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(TestTidebuy.class);

是一样的

配合log4j.properties中  %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level %c{1} %L %M - %msg%xEx%n  的<pre name="code" class="java"> %c{1}

private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(Test.class);   这个对应的输出

23:13:15.921 INFO  Test 11 main - 开始程序.
23:13:15.921 ERROR Test 15 main - hello

private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(HelloLog4j.class);    这个对应的输出

23:13:39.593 INFO  HelloLog4j 11 main - 开始程序.
23:13:39.593 ERROR HelloLog4j 15 main - hello

测试代码如下：

<pre name="code" class="html"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
