     package {
       import org.as3commons.logging.api.ILogger;
       import org.as3commons.logging.api.getLogger;
            public class MyClass {
       
        private static const logger: ILogger = getLogger( MyClass );
          
        public function doSomething(): void {
          logger.info("hi");
        }
       }
     } 
     

By default the Logger instances will redirect to the TRACE_TARGET (using trace for the output). To change that to your preferred logging mechanism change the setup of the logger factory.

        org.as3commons.logging.api.LOGGER_FACTORY.setup = new FlexSetup();
        // will redirect all output to the flex logging mechanism 
     
        org.as3commons.logging.api.LOGGER_FACTORY.setup = null;
        // will clear all output
     

Performance Note: getLogger is slightly slower than getClassLogger and both are a bit slower than getNamedLogger(). Nevertheless, it has advantages to use getClassLogger(): In a development environment that updates class references on rename its safer (in terms of: less exposed to bugs) and faster to use the getLogger(). If you create libraries with a lot of classes its recommended to use getNamedLogger().
