Hi Ravi,

You may resolve this problem in many ways.
But what i found really easy and also applied in my project to resolve this kind of issue.

Steps are as follows--

1. create a class, define it's own logger and a method (name is your choice) which calls nothing
but log.debug().

2. Now call this method wherever this debug is needed to be logged.

You may take help from this.

Any query, please ask it.

Thanks,
Tanzy.
