Some people may disagree but we have take the approach of using the commons-logging API.
commons-logging has never been anything but a pain in the butt in every case I've seen it used. The classloader issues are never-ending.
We have configured it to use log4j we appropriate. If needed I can configure commons-logging to use JDK 1.4 logging.

Hi, I saw in the 1.4 JDK that there were new classes introduced concerning logging, which seems to be a base for Log4J. When I take a look at the class hierarchy of Log4J, it is not a subclass of those JDK logging classes (I think the reason is that Log4J is older than the 1.4 JDK...).
So, what will happen with Log4J in the future ? Will it be a subclass of the Java 1.4 logging classes or will it go in a different direction ?
I think that the Log4J classes are much better than the 1.4 Java classes, but what will happen if those Java classes will become the standard for logging ? Or will Log4J be a part of the JDK somewhere in the future ?
Your answers are very important for me, because I have to decide if my company is using Log4J or if we need to enhance the 1.4 JDK logging classes.
