Heard of the JCP and its standards ? I also heard Apache was an active contributor to it, and kinda influential too, these days. > Remy, there is more to logging than what meets your eye as a Tomcat > developer. I am confident that by continuing to carefully listen to > your (Tomcat) constituency, you will eventually change your mind. This is sticking your head in the sand ... The only thing logical is that there's actually no value in the API log4j provides to applications: most of them will only use a featureset equivalent to what commons-logging exposes (as proven by the fact that nearly everyone uses commons-logging at the moment). I think your decision of not supporting java.util.logging at any cost is clearly the root of all the gripes. My plan for JULI is to: - write LogManagers tuned to a variety of containers (starting with Tomcat, and maybe JBoss later) - port log4j appenders as java.util.logging handlers (this should be quite easy) Is there any pace for this in the logging project, or should I seek another home ? The project is definitely much smaller than a standard project, more like a commons component. > In other words, don't listen to what LS people have to say, only > listen to what Tomcat users say. The idea is that I listened to no one in this case, and made up my own completely independent decision. My current Tomcat implementation of a LogManager seems to work very well.
