Subject: Re: Making the log4j library optional
Dave,
My proposed solution is to introduce a method such
as the following in your library:
void disableWinWardLogging() {
if(winWardLoggingEnabled)
return;
Category cat = Category.getInstance("net.winward");
cat.setPriority(Priority.FATAL);
// In log4j 1.2
// Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("net.winward");
// logger.setLevel(Level.OFF);
}
The question is whether your library can call disableWinWardLogging
early in its initialization and how and when the winWardLoggingEnabled
is set.
Please let me know if this approach works for your library.
