Hi thilina, We are using Axis2 inside an commercial software which allready ships with many libraries. Because we don't (yet) use a dependency resolution mechanism, any developer adds libraries he thinks he will need. If implementations change, libs may become obsolete. If we don't keep track of this obsolete libs, our classpath would be full of garbage and our distribution package would be very large.
Because of that, e.g. logging is very tricky if you are using lots of third party libs. Every lib may use another logging framework/facade. But to trace back possible errors it would be nice that all components log to the same destination. So there are some logging-facades available (commons-logging, slf4j). The components should use this facades for logging and don't need to mind where the log goes to. Because of that, I don't think that slf4j-jdk14 is an required dependency for this project. regards, Gerhard Thilina Buddhika wrote: > > Hi Gerhard, > > Please see my comments inline. > > On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 1:21 PM, gerhard presser > <gpres...@groiss.com>wrote: > >> >> Hi Nandana, >> -)Thanks for the explanation.
