java - Should I use inheritance or composition in my case? -

i'm creating class shares common codes class , not sure pattern should use. class i've have:

public class teama{     private static final logger logger = logger.getlogger(teama.class);      @autowired     private utility util;       public void proceedwitha(){         // useful here         updateprogress();     }      private void updateprogress(){         logger.info("updating progress!");         // update progress     } } 

the class teamb i'm creating same thing class teama except in proceedb() different before calling updateprogress().

public class teamb{     private static final logger logger = logger.getlogger(teamb.class);      @autowired     private utility util;      public void proceedwithb(){         // useful here         updateprogress();     }      private void updateprogress(){         logger.info("updating progress!");         // update progress     } } 

so @ first i'm inclined use inheritance creating super class team them extend from:

public class team{     // how should define logger?      @autowired     private utility util;      protected void updateprogress(){         // logger.info("updating progress!");         // update progress     } } 

how should use logger? in class teama/b defined private static final, apparently can't same in superclass since want logger teama , teamb respectively.

i thought composition. seems have pass logger parameter updateprogress method. ok or there better way?

public class teama{     private static final logger logger = logger.getlogger(teama.class);      @autowired     private team teamutil;      public void proceedwitha(){         // useful here         teamutil.updateprogress(logger);     } }  public class team{     @autowired     private utility util;      protected void updateprogress(logger logger){         logger.info("updating progress!");         // update progress     } } 

i'm new design patterns , logger thing getting me confused. give me advice please? :)

public abstract class team{     protected abstract logger getlogger();      protected void updateprogress(){         getlogger().info("updating progress!");         // update progress     } } 

your child classes can implement getlogger return static final logger.
