Hi all,
I've been looking at JLog (IBM) and log4j. I want to use one of these logging
toolkits in our software.
I have done a number of tests with JLog already and it's quite ok, except
perhaps for the closed-source issue.
However, log4j looks good as well and I want to give it a fair chance.
It will be used in large distributed applications with EJB's and remote
clients. One very important requirement is that I must be able to reconfigure
the Appenders and Category priorities at runtime.
I want to have the clients log to EJB's over leased lines. Normally, I'm not
interested in DEBUG level messages since they generate way too much overhead.
In an emergency however, I need to be able to change the priorities in the
Categories in the running client and start receiving a more verbose stream of
log messages on the server.
Is it possible to make such flexible configuration changes? With JLog I can.
Their LogManager uses an Observer-like pattern.
I'm hoping for a quick reply. Please note that I haven't joined the
mailinglist, so please CC any replies to my personal address
