There is also logging delivered by Avalon-Framework. My personal view is that the makers of reusable components should not log at all and the the logging choice (log4J directly or one of the abstractions here) is the preserve of the application maker (uses many components). I am moving towards a monitor model for 'events' in my components that allow the user of that comp to choose redirection to logging or some other programatic strategy. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-avalon-excalibur/altrmi/src/java/org/apache/excalibur/altrmi/server/ServerMonitor.java It can be a bit brittle during development though. - Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
