Using Poco::Logger for entire project

Question

``` AutoPtr splitterChannel(new SplitterChannel()); AutoPtr consoleChannel(new ConsoleChannel()); AutoPtr fileChannel(new FileChannel("Arcanite.log")); AutoPtr rotatedFileChannel(new FileChannel("Arcanite_R.log")); rotatedFileChannel->setProperty("rotation", "100"); rotatedFileChannel->setProperty("archive", "timestamp"); splitterChannel->addChannel(consoleChannel); splitterChannel->addChannel(fileChannel); splitterChannel->addChannel(rotatedFileChannel); //"%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S: %t" AutoPtr formatter(new PatternFormatter("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S %s: %t")); AutoPtr formattingChannel(new FormattingChannel(formatter, splitterChannel)); Logger& sLog = Logger::create("LogChan", formattingChannel, Message::PRIO_TRACE); ``` Ive written my logger which i want to use for my server, in multiple classes. How can i adapt this to do this? This is probably basic c++ but i seem to have missed a few lessons :P

Accepted Answer

Class Poco::Logger works as a logging framework.

When you define a logger instance with a fixed name ("LogChan" in your example), it is accessible from all your classes. So you should make a

```
Logger& logger = Logger::get("logChan"); 
```

from your other classes to get the logger reference.

I guess below it use a singleton pattern to generate the pool of loggers.
