What is the benefit of using JDBCAppenders over RFAppenders for EJB related logging? To me log files are so much easier to read, and I prefer it over any database, unless there is a fundamental reason against it, such as problems related to multiple threads trying to write to the same file simultaneously when the app server is under load.
Donnie: can you provide some details how to set up log4j programmatically so that I can use configAndWatch? I would think a stateless session bean loaded into the free pool at server startup can be used. Any other suggestions?
