/**
* The org.slf4j.Logger interface is the main user entry point of SLF4J API.
* It is expected that logging takes place through concrete implementations
* of this interface.
*
* Typical usage pattern:
*
* import org.slf4j.Logger;
* import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
*
* public class Wombat {
*
* final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Wombat.class);
* Integer t;
* Integer oldT;
*
* public void setTemperature(Integer temperature) {
* oldT = t;
* t = temperature;
* logger.debug("Temperature set to {}. Old temperature was {}.", t, oldT);
* if(temperature.intValue() > 50) {
* logger.info("Temperature has risen above 50 degrees.");
* }
* }
* }
*
*
* Be sure to read the FAQ entry relating to parameterized
* logging. Note that logging statements can be parameterized in
* presence of an exception/throwable.
*
* Once you are comfortable using loggers, i.e. instances of this interface, consider using
* MDC as well as Markers.
