In other words, a logger <em>is</em> a category. Thus, * all operations that can be performed on a category can be * performed on a logger.

Log4j 1.2 will <em>never</em> produce Category objects but * only <code>Logger</code> instances. In order to preserve backward * compatibility, methods that previously accepted category objects * still continue to accept category objects. * * <p>For example, the following are all legal and will work as * expected. * <pre>    // Deprecated form:    Category cat = Category.getInstance("foo.bar")    // Preferred form for retrieving loggers:    Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("foo.bar") </pre> * <p>The first form is deprecated and should be avoided. * * <p><b>There is absolutely no need for new client code to use or * refer to the <code>Category</code> class.</b> Whenever possible, * please avoid referring to it or using it. * * <p>See the <a href="../../../../manual.html">short manual</a> for an * introduction on this class. * <p> * See the document entitled <a href="http://www.qos.ch/logging/preparingFor13.html">preparing * for log4j 1.3</a> for a more detailed discussion. * * @author Ceki Gülcü * @author Anders Kristensen */ public class Category implements AppenderAttachable { /** The hierarchy where categories are attached to by default. */ //static //public //final Hierarchy defaultHierarchy = new Hierarchy(new // RootCategory(Level.DEBUG)); /** The name of this category. */ protected String name; /** The assigned level of this category.
