[Jsdsi-devel] Logging framework

[Sean R. <sra...@ae...>]

Here's a question that I've been meaning to ask.

How do people feel about logging frameworks?

I myself think logging is a good idea as it is a great tool to track
down problems in live systems. So I would like to ask how people feel to
adding the apache commons-logging to jsdsi. The reason to go for that
rather than straight for either log4j or java.util.logging is that it is
an abstraction to other logging frameworks so the target environment can
be using whatever it choses (or nothing).

An example: most (all) J2EE application containers use log4j... If jsdsi
uses JDK logging then ALL the messages appear at the ERROR level or are
discarded completely!

I think logging is becoming more and more needed in JSDSI, especially as
it will become more complicated with more functionality in the future.

Regards,

Sean
