Logging is one thing. Error handling (like layout problems, image that can't be found etc.) is another. Right?
Logging: I'd go for the Avalon Logger interface which lets us freely choose the logging backend. We can even use the new ConsoleLogger or even NullLogger. :-) Error handling: We had a short discussion back in November. Doing that in the user agent sounds good (it's the obvious place) although I can't fully figure out yet if this solves everything we need. Well, I should think about that some more, then. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=100642654705366&w=2 > If you can do it and it will be an improvement then I welcome your input. > > I think the are three possibilities: > - use a generic logging package such as found in avalon, it is quite > possible to use the LogkitLogger, Log4JLogger and Jdk14Logger > - use an interface > - use methods on the user agent > > The interface almost guarantees that we will need extra code to do things > that everyone else is doing.
