Re: [JWebUnit-development] Adding sample logback.xml to JWebUnit homepage

Hi Julien,

Thanks for your reply :D I might have more time to work on JWebUnit
over the next few weeks, if anything needs doing. Today I looked at
implementing JSON POST (for RESTful APIs) but it's probably not
suitable for inclusion within JWebUnit.

I didn't try slf4j, only log4j (whose configuration didn't do
anything). I've stumbled upon this twice, from importing the most
recent JWebUnit directly into a fresh project that doesn't use any
logging frameworks or Maven (and if you are using the jars directly,
it's probably unlikely you're using Maven). If you prefer slf4j, can
we provide a sample configuration as well? Perhaps the release build
should include a specific logger.

This is only to get people up-and-running quickly, I think we should
write a section on logging and how multiple are supported. The amount
of noise generated without one makes it difficult to debug. My
preference is for a sample configuration (copy/paste) for each of the
supported loggers.

I haven't checked recently but if you are using Maven you should only get slf4j-api in your classpath and no implementation (logback is set to be optional=true so no transitive inclusion).
