Method from org.slf4j.ILoggerFactory Detail:
public 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.
