Antony,
You should take a look at Jakarta Commons - Logging.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging.html
"The Logging package is an ultra-thin bridge between different
logging libraries..."
You code to the Commons-Logging API in your applications independent of the
underlying logging implementation, and configure the Commons Logger to use
the underlying logging implementation of your choice e.g. (log4j/JDK 1.4
logging/etc) at runtime.
Take a squiz at the user-guide, its got enough info to get you going both
with using the Logging API and configuration.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/userguide.html
