Custom Log Method - cakephp

Question

I am attempting to implement a log system in cakePHP. I have a issue now were the methods contents in "write" are called twice. This causes an issue because it places 2 log entries of the same type in my system.
Databaselogger.php in the Lib/Engine/ directory:
App::uses('CakeLogInterface', 'Log');
class DatabaseLogger implements CakeLogInterface {
private $types = array();
public function __construct($options = array()) {
// Allowed method calls
$this->types = $options['types'];
}
public function write($type = NULL, $message = NULL) {
// Only store to cache types that are permitted, other errors from cake are not reported
if(!empty($this->types) && in_array($type, $this->types))
{
//make database entry here
}
}
}
In my bootstrap.php :
App::uses('CakeLog', 'Log');
CakeLog::config('debug', array(
'engine' => 'FileLog',
'types' => array('notice', 'info', 'debug'),
'file' => 'debug',
));
CakeLog::config('error', array(
'engine' => 'FileLog',
'types' => array('warning', 'error', 'critical', 'alert', 'emergency'),
'file' => 'error',
));
// Custom configuration
CakeLog::config('mytest', array(
'engine' => 'DatabaseLogger',
'types' => array('mytest'),
'scope' => array(),
'file' => '',
));
This is how I call the method:
CakeLog::write('mytest', 'this message!');
Can anyone give some hints as to why this might be happening? Thanks!

As the namespace of the core files is
/Log/Engine/
I would assume that it should be
/Lib/Log/Engine/DatabaseLog.php (or Logger if you want to straggle from the core naming).
accordingly.
Proof you will get from the LogEngineCollection class, which contains:
App::uses($loggerName, $plugin . 'Log/Engine');
to include the engine of yours (hence the importance of the correct namespace).
Please take the time to look into the core code. Its open source after all :)
