java - logging static methods in a parent class - Stack Overflow

Best practice is to declare LOGGER static, e.g.

protected final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(getClass());

This way you can use LOGGER from dynamic and static methods.

Also each class should have its own instance of the logger. So I would change protected to private.

ALSO, instead of calling "getClass()" you should call "MyApp.class", e.g.

private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(MyApp.class);
