Akka Logging outside Actor

Question

I have an Akka Actor that makes a call to MyObject.foo(). MyObject is not an Actor. How do I setup Logging in it? With an Actor it\'s simple, because

Answer 1

Using Akka 2.2.1, I was able to put this into my App to get logging outside of an actor:

import akka.event.Logging
val system = ActorSystem("HelloSystem", ConfigFactory.load.getConfig("akka"))
val log = Logging.getLogger(system, this)
log.info("Hi!")

This seems like a simpler solution for unifying an application's logging.
