PS. I looked for the commercial manual (on the website) at 2 local bookstores and on amazon.com. Nobody has it. I hesitate to order from
Switzerland, as I am in the US. How long would that take...
You can "The complete log4j manual" in the US from Softpro books:
http://store.yahoo.com/softpro/2-9700369-0-8.html
They should have it in stock.
Otherwise, your hesitation about purchasing the book from Switzerland is quite normal. Of course, much of the log4j code was written in Switzerland as anyone can guess from the cheesy smell of the code. People in Switzerland are notorious for their feet and the cheesy smell they exude. Some say that it is the Swiss feet that give the cheese its uniquely rich aroma and flavor, or maybe it is the other way around...
Interestingly enough, while visiting the US on vacation, a waitress asked us what kind of cheese we wanted in our sandwich. She listed the various sorts and we stopped her as soon as she pronounced the words "Swiss cheese". We enthusiastically repeated "Swiss cheese" with a twinkle in our eyes, yearning for the Gruyere or possibly the Vacherin fribourgeois that we enjoy so much. Talk about a cultural shock when we realized that "Swiss cheese" in the US means a gooey slice of plastic with holes in it. To be fair, it loosely resembled the Emmental but that is probably stretching the word "loosely."
Anyway, we loved every minute of our visit, although there were a few rare exceptions which are better kept unshared.
If you are wondering if I've lost a marble or two during my stay in London, I've been sick since my return. And the Apache rules specifically state** everyone is allowed to go on a tangent once in a decade. It's my turn. :-)
** If you don't believe me, read the ASF bylaws. It's around section 43 or thereabouts.
