Loggers should be: * ``++private++``: not accessible outside of their parent classes. If another class needs to log something, it should instantiate its own logger. * ``++static++``: not dependent on an instance of a class (an object). When logging something, contextual information can of course be provided in the messages but the logger should be created at class level to prevent creating a logger along with each object. * ``++const++``: created once and only once per class. == Noncompliant Code Example With the default regular expression ``++LOG(?:GER)?++``: [source,flex] ---- public const logger:ILogger = LogUtil.getLogger(MyClass); ---- == Compliant Solution [source,flex] ---- private static const LOG:ILogger = LogUtil.getLogger(MyClass); ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::../message.adoc[] include::../parameters.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::../comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
