Hi, I'm a complete newbie to Log4J, Apache projects, and somewhat to J2EE, so I apologize in advance for my naivete - if these questions have been previously answered/covered somewhere else and this isn't the right forum, please just point me in that direction. Thanks in advance. And sorry for the spew of questions . .
I've looked through a lot of the documentation, and some of the code, and here's some questions: 1. Using a JDBC adapter I would have thought that this would be a primary usage of Log4J, but there's not one associated with the official release, just from contributions. Is there a reason for this? I also have several questions regarding the JDBC adapters available as contributions: a. How comparatively reliable/tested are the contributions in relation to the official release? b. How performant are the JDBC adapters available? And, is there a way to speed/degrade performance by using: - JMS in addition to JDBC - Build a system whereby numerous log requests are queued up such that only a single database call is required for multiple inserts c. Are there discussions/documentation about the JDBC adapters available? d. Are the JDBC adapters compatible with ObjectRenderers? Ie, can I store different kinds of objects in different tables even . . (I'm pushing it here, I reckon. Am I asking Log4J to do something it's just not built to do?) 2. Using Log4J in Weblogic and in a cluster I know that Log4J can be configured at runtime, but how would you go about configuring it across a cluster, ie such that making a change to a configuration file at runtime changes the behavior of log4j across the cluster? Additionally, what is the recommended approach for how to package Log4J (in J2EE terms) such that it can be accessible to all EJBs and Web Apps that potentially use it (eg, you couldn't just package it with one web web, or one EJB jar if you have multiple EJB jars). Would it then need to be packaged at the .ear level? Thanks in advance. Noah PS - BTW, has anyone noticed that the search mechanism at geocrawler for the log4J list doesn't work? It always comes up with no results, regardless of the search (try "log4j"). oh well. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
