How do I get google guice to inject a custom logger, say a commons-logging or log4j logger

Question

Google guice has a built-in logger binding. But what if I want to use a commons-logging or log4j logger? Can I get guice to inject a Log created by ``` LogFactory.getLog(CLASS.class) ``` But having the same behavior as in built-in binding: The binding automatically sets the logger's name to the name of the class into which the Logger is being injected.. Does it even makes sense? Or shout I simply use the built-in java Logger? Or just use commons-logging without injections?

Accepted Answer

The CustomInjections page on the Guice wiki describes exactly how to inject a logger named by the class it's being injected into.
