Hi, Can I see the API so I can get a better feel for what you have in mind?
Although I use it extensively, I'm not exactly sure of the value of commons-logging. I have no intention of switching from log4j. It does everything I want in a logger. Adding the commons-logging gives me flexibility to change, but since I can't imagine changing, the overall effect of using commons-logging is additional complexity with no substantial benefit. There may be reasons to use commons-logging in an open source project, since it gives our users a choice of loggers. However, I don't see the point of using it in private projects except to stay consistent with the opensource projects I use . . . Then again, caching may be different, since there doesn't seem to be a cache at the level of maturity of log4j. I hope JCS will be that soon.
