Glenn -
There is nothing wrong with the simple configuration of log4j you
describe. That's the beauty of a well-written set of Java libraries!
Just create Categories where you require new logging clients - I use
final static's in the classes. But be careful about using a Category in
a serializable class.
Remember that you shouldn't really be doing Java IO in a bean. I tried
out the (unsupported) Socket Appender sample in the distribution which
works without problem. However, depending on how you use the logging -
this could generate a lot of network traffic and may impact the
performance of your container. For some benchmarking work, I ended up
moving back to default appenders to get max. throughput.
One other point - if you look in the Weblogic docs, you get an almost
identical API for logging...
regards,
paul.
