- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getLogger

          Logger getLogger(String name)

      Return an appropriate `Logger` instance as specified by the `name` parameter.

      If the name parameter is equal to `Logger.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME`, that is the string value "ROOT" (case insensitive), then the root logger of the underlying logging system is returned.

      Null-valued name arguments are considered invalid.

      Certain extremely simple logging systems, e.g. NOP, may always return the same logger instance regardless of the requested name.

      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the Logger to return
      Returns:
        a Logger instance
