  - ### getAttribute

    public Object getAttribute(String name)
    Description copied from class: `LogFactory`
    Gets the configuration attribute with the specified name (if any), or `null` if there is no such attribute.
    Specified by:
      `getAttribute` in class `LogFactory`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the attribute to return
    Returns:
      the configuration attribute with the specified name.

  - ### getAttributeNames

    public String[] getAttributeNames()
    Description copied from class: `LogFactory`
    Gets an array containing the names of all currently defined configuration attributes. If there are no such attributes, a zero length array is returned.
    Specified by:
      `getAttributeNames` in class `LogFactory`
    Returns:
      an array containing the names of all currently defined configuration attributes

  - ### getInstance

    public Log getInstance(Class<?> clazz)
    Description copied from class: `LogFactory`
    Convenience method to derive a name from the specified class and call `getInstance(String)` with it.
    Specified by:
      `getInstance` in class `LogFactory`
    Parameters:
      `clazz` - Class for which a suitable Log name will be derived
    Returns:
      a name from the specified class.

  - ### getInstance

    public Log getInstance(String name)
    Description copied from class: `LogFactory`
    Constructs (if necessary) and return a `Log` instance, using the factory's current set of configuration attributes.

    NOTE - Depending upon the implementation of the `LogFactory` you are using, the `Log` instance you are returned may or may not be local to the current application, and may or may not be returned again on a subsequent call with the same name argument.

    Specified by:
      `getInstance` in class `LogFactory`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Logical name of the `Log` instance to be returned (the meaning of this name is only known to the underlying logging implementation that is being wrapped)
    Returns:
      a `Log` instance.

  - ### release

    public void release()
    This method is supposed to clear all loggers. In this implementation it will clear all the logger wrappers but the loggers managed by the underlying logger context will not be.
    Specified by:
      `release` in class `LogFactory`

  - ### removeAttribute

    public void removeAttribute(String name)
    Description copied from class: `LogFactory`
    Removes any configuration attribute associated with the specified name. If there is no such attribute, no action is taken.
    Specified by:
      `removeAttribute` in class `LogFactory`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the attribute to remove

  - ### setAttribute

    public void setAttribute(String name, Object value)
    Description copied from class: `LogFactory`
    Sets the configuration attribute with the specified name. Calling this with a `null` value is equivalent to calling `removeAttribute(name)`.
    Specified by:
      `setAttribute` in class `LogFactory`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the attribute to set
      `value` - Value of the attribute to set, or `null` to remove any setting for this attribute
