Craig, how does that work?  By that, I mean, Avalon uses an IoC model, so
how does the Commons Logger know which logger to use?  For example, I would
want DBCP to be using the logger defined for the database connection
component.  At present, we create an adapter between what DBCP expects
(PrintWriter) and the Avalon logger, but I'd very much like to see
full-fledged logging with levels.

hi noel
the current avalon logger implementation allows a default logger to be 
set by a static method call. the implementation then gets a child 
logger (by name) from that logger.

i was looking at this a little while ago and thinking to myself: this 
isn't too clever. at the very least, it should allow default loggers to 
be set per context classloader (to provide isolation in a container 
environment). i may refactor the logger (once the 1.0.4 release is 
done).

a while ago, leo was talking about IoC and logging. he points was that 
it's not really the design of the commons-logging API but the use of 
that API that allows it to be used (or not) in an IoC environment. the 
key is that it should be possible to set the log implementations used 
by the component.

Excellent.

DBCP Contribution: Replace System.out calls with Commons Logging

2004-04-19 Thread Viens, Steve
-- Reposting with a more descriptive subject --

I've been looking through the DBCP source this morning and have noticed
several instances where System.out, System.err and printStackTrace()
have been used to write error or status messages to the console.

I'm wondering if there's any interest in a contribution that would
replace these calls with calls to the commons-logging package instead?
I'm making these changes to my own copy anyway - so I'm just curious if
there's any interested in having them contributed back. The downside is
that this would make DBCP dependent on the commons-logging library which
(IMHO) is worth it I think.

YES!  :-)

At least on my part.  Honestly, if you're going to tie Commons Pool and DBCP
to Logging, also introduce the idea of levels so that we get debugging,
info, error, etc., appropriate messages.

How would commons-logging fit within the Avalon framework?  (James uses 
DBCP now).

I wrote an adapter once to bridge between DBCP and Avalon's logging.  If I
had to, I suppose I would write another, although having so many disparate
logging packages is a tad on the annoying side.
