The direct use of the java.io package is forbidden by the EJB spec. That does not mean that your EJBs cannot use classes/libraries which use the java.io package. I use log4j in a J2EE environment with no problems (although i log to a JMS queue from within the app components).

I am not quite sure what all the discussion is about (as usage of the java.io package is forbidden in the spec). However, I have the ff line in each of my EJB's: > > private static final Logger L = Logger.getLogger(SomeEJBClass.class); > > The EJB server I am using (Borland Enterprise Server V5.0) does not complain about anything in this regard. > > Can someone tell me if there are any hidden problems with this approach - we have just started our project and I don't want to get any surprises later on. > > Thanks in advance. > > Chris > > > > > > > > I > > > > --------------------------------- > Sign up to watch the FIFA World Cup video highlights from your desk! > > http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/fc/en -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
