  - ### 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) throws LogConfigurationException
    Description copied from class: `LogFactory`
    Gets a Log for the given class.
    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.
    Throws:
      `LogConfigurationException` - if a suitable `Log` instance cannot be returned

  - ### getInstance

    public Log getInstance(String name)
    Description copied from class: `LogFactory`
    Gets a (possibly new) `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 calls a "stop" method if the logger factory supports it. This is the case of Logback.

    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
