Hi. I have just
created a java.util.logging.Handler class allowing to plug-in regular Appender
classes in the java.util.logging system, so that applications using this system
can benefit from the large number of Appenders out there. They are plugged
in just via standard configuration java.util.logging files (plus the regular
log4j configuration), without changing the code. In this way we hope to be able
to use the standard java.util.logging facilities, while not risking to lose the
superior abilities of log4j and related tools.
This feature does
not help in enhancing the java.util.logging configuration, but I have also
created other classes for this, which allow to create more than one instance of
a java.util.Handler while having each one of them using different configuration
parameters taken from the standard configuration files. It should work with
most standard Handlers, including the one I created to plug in Appenders, so
allowing for more than one Appender to be plugged in.
I actually am
surprised of not having found these features out there. Maybe I did not search
hard enough? Am I wrong, and these very same things have been already solved
long time ago by you or others?
If not, I thought
you could be interested on them, although since they actually promote the usage
of java.util.logging and hide log4j behind, this may not be the case. At any
rate, if you are interested in including them in log4j, just ask
me.
Regards
