Mike There is no such thing as overkill. It is merely an architectural decision.
You need to determine whether the overhead of "writing to a log file each time" is within acceptable performance parameters defined for the application you are building. Some questions that you need to answer before deciding --- How many JMS messages are being generated per minute / hour? Is there some historical data that will help you determine peak message generation rates? What is the size of the JVM? How much space is the Logging object taking? How many different objects in JVM memory at peak usage? Possible work around You can create a Value Object and fill it with 20, 50 or 100 timestamps and then write out to persistent storage or whatever medium you are logging to. Hope this helps.

This data file would ideally be in CVS format. The question I have is, what toolkit should I use to write to the file? JMS is asynchronous. I've registered my message handling function? Should I be using log4j?' Is that overkill ? ___________________________________________________________________________ This email and any attached to it are confidential and intended only for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
