Inject Log or Logging.getLogProvider

[nimo22]

Hello,

what is the difference between this:

private static final LogProvider log = Logging.getLogProvider(bean.class);

and that:

@In
Log log;

what is better?

There is no difference really. Because under the hood the second example will run the first example eventually. Though the second example is less verbose and safer for refactoring.

LogProvider doesn't provide interpretation of parameters or EL in the log statement (whilst Log does) - you can access either using Logging.getLogProvider() or Logging.getLog().
