I was wondering if someone could give me insight into the difference between doing a Logger.getLogger("whatever") vs a LogManager.getLogger("whatever").

org.apache.log4j.Logger
vs
org.apache.log4j.LogManager

Thanks

is one thread safe?

I'm just guessing, but Logger.getLogger(String s) actually creates a logger instance if it doesn't exist. I imagine LogManager is just using allowing you to find a logger that already exists.
