Re: [xbeans-interest] log4j and JDOM

[Bruce M. <ma...@xb...>]

Chris,

Using JDOM and log4j are fine.   The only issue about using JDOM is one o=
f
performance.  There was a previous email exchange between several of us a=
bout
the performance of converting between DOM Documents and JDOM.  This is re=
levant
since Xbeans that use JDOM would need to do this.

Everybody thought it wasn=B4t an expensive thing to do but nobody knew fo=
r sure.
Do you have any experience with this?

Bruce
