   RootCategory sits at the top of the category hierachy. It is a
   regular category except that it provides several guarantees.

   

First, it cannot be assigned a null priority. Second, since root category cannot have a parent, the {@link #getChainedLevel} method always returns the value of the level field without walking the hierarchy. @author Ceki Gülcü */ final public class RootCategory extends Logger { /** The root category names itself as "root".
