You can still let the log4j to be configured the way you want.
And being able to log per directive or per resource loader just depends
on passing extra information to the adapter, which can be used or
ignored by the adapter depending on the capabilities of the log system
that is plugged in.
Ok, it is not sooooo simple anymore, but it still allows to keep the
project log agnostic and allow it to be used in very lightweight
solutions (one can even use a NulLog adapter).
IMHO, this flexibility is very important and compensates the work of
the adapter thing.
Have fun,
