We have an application that uses log4j as its logger. However, it

Thanks, David Robison
Please look through the log4j-dev archives for "bridge" in the last
year. There are efforts in the development sandbox to provide
bridges between log4j and java.util.logging. They currently
experimental, but I believe they are functional. I personally
wasn't involved in their development, so I can't speak for their
current condition, but maybe that will get you started until
someone more familiar with the efforts speaks us.
Curt is referring to the jul-to-log4j-bridge, which is currently in a
sandbox state, but _should_ have all the workings you need. It's not
officially released, but I'd really love some feedback and real-world
testing information.
Note: You need to use log4j 1.2.15, it is not compatible with earlier
versions as it needs to use newer api calls in log4j.
I've placed a maven-generated site here:
http://people.apache.org/~psmith/logging.apache.org/sandbox/jul-log4j-
bridge/
The latest snapshot is here:
http://people.apache.org/~psmith/logging.apache.org/repo/org/apache/
logging/apache-jul-log4j-bridge/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/apache-jul-log4j-
bridge-1.0.0-20071007.235256-4.jar
The idea is you can configure log4j to 'assimilate' the
java.util.logging system into log4j, all corresponding loggers in the
jdk1.4 logging system are mapped into the log4j system allowing you
to configure them as normal log4j logging events. The bridge routes
the events into log4j.
Let me know how you go if you choose to try it.
cheers,
Paul
