RE: [FormProc-developer] Log4J & LogManager in FormProc

[Anthony E. <me...@an...>]

Eric,

The LogManager is there to support multiple logging systems.  I added this
as a suggestion from one of FormProc's users who pointed out that developers
may be required to use a particular logging system other than Log4J and
FormProc should be flexible enough to handle those other systems.

Rather than only use Log4J I would prefer to improve the LogManager and the
way it is integrated with FormProc.  For example it would probably be a good
idea to automatically configure FormProc to use a logger specified in the
formproc.xml file.  In addition I could improve the System.out logger so
that it can understand property files.  Finally I can improve the
documentation so that logging is easier to understand (of course integrating
LogManager into FormProc better might remove the need for this last step.)

As for contributions: initially I would prefer if you send the code so that
I can determine if it fits well into FormProc, both logically and
stylistically.  If you do this at least once and it works out fine then I
have no problem adding you in as a developer.  The more  people involved the
better.

Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
