Hi! Could one please eloberate a little bit more in detail what the pros are of slf4j?
Notice, I switched to it in our company project - but always using the commons-logging api and just used the slf4j-over-cl wrapper. This is something wich is possible for each and ever user of myfaces already, just by adjusting the depencendcies correctly. Lately I even switched to my own logging wrapper, but this is another story. In the end, everything still uses the cl API which is proven to work fine. (I created the org.apache.commons.logging package structure with my own classes - which for sure is not possible for myfaces!). I still think, that using the cl api is the best we can do for our users. If they then use cl as implementation - and if this is considered "good" - is another story, but nothing WE should anticipate. As far as I can say the cl api is rock solid, just the class-loader stuff is a pain. But (again AFAIK), slf4j does not solve it, it just does not deal with it. Before we start using any other logging api I'd suggest to build our own thin myfaces-logging wrapper where one then can easily plug in log4j, cl, jul (java utils ogging) or whatever - we do not even have to provide any other impl than for jul. As a plus, this then will remove a dependency - a dependency to any logging framework - which - in terms of dependencies can be considered as a "good" thing, no?

(at least if a project is using an external logging framework.) regards, gerhard [1] http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Trinidad-vs-Tobago-p23884581.html
