Partially true... The spirit of this restriction is that a j2ee app should not use the io package for "business data". The reasoning is simple, io access is generally not transactional. Most people would not consider logs under the heading of business data; typically I want log messages to be written iregardless of whether a transaction commits or rollbacks. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Whitall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 9:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Log4J and EJBs Hello, This is more of a generic third-party logging question as opposed to a Log4J question, but I thought some of you might know the answer. The EJB specification says that an EJB should not perform file I/O. I was wondering why this is the case, and if using a third-party logging package (such as Log4J) constitutes a violation of this nature if it is set up to use a FileAppender.
