Re: [Resteasy-developers] Logging Configuration Details

[Ryan M. <ry...@da...>]

I can see your point, but I do respectfully disagree. The idea behind it was
to offer choice to end users on logging frameworks. I didn't want people to
have to manage 2 different logging configurations just to get at the log
messages from RESTEasy. If I'm using JBoss AS, I'm most likely going to be
using log4j, but if I'm running stand alone, maybe JDK logging will be
sufficient. I've also not been much of a fan of JDK logging since
configuration is kind of a pain. I've used log4j frequently, but I don't
want to impose that restriction onto anyone else, which was the reason
behind slf4j.



On a related note, from a framework debugging perspective, I'd like to be
able to offer detailed information available to developers, much the same
way Hibernate does it:



http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/jboss/jboss-eap-4.2/doc/hibernate/Hibernate_Reference_Guide/Configuration-Logging.html



and how it's done in JBoss AS:



http://docs.jboss.org/process-guide/en/html/logging.html



I'd like to be able to offer the same level of details going forward. This
is what the LoggingCategories class.
