>From what I understand, the extensibility of log4cxx depends how you want to
extend it. From what I've used of it, the library is easily configurable for
a number of different uses, so much that I honestly have no need to extend
it. But your mileage will vary.
As far as its reliability, my team has been using a snapshot of the log4cxx
tree for months without problems. In the past, I did have a couple of issues
that were difficult to track down, but arguably given the multithreaded
nature of my project, the problem could have been in a number of places.
I will say that I'm pleased that the apache development rigors are being
applied. It sounds like a lot of extra work for Curt, but the end-result is
a high-quality release.
The caveat is that this Apache-sponsored release has not happened yet. I
don't know when the release will happen, but Curt Arnold can fill you in on
that.

Subject: Is log4cxx "easily" extensible?
Hello,
I'm a new poster, and I apologize if this e-mail is off-topic in any way. I
tried searching online for reviews that would give me insight about this
question, but didn't find much. I appreciate your help!
I am an intern who has been put in charge of designing a new logger for my
company, and log4cxx looks great. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet all of our
(very specific) needs so we would have to extend it. I'm hoping to get
feedback from users who have tried to extend it. Was the code documented
sufficiently well? (I've found great use documentation, but had trouble
finding any design documentation that would help developers... this is
probably my fault, so if I'm just looking in the wrong place let me know :)
On a related note, can anyone comment on the reliability of this library? My
bosses won't commit to anything they don't believe is rock-solid, so if you
think it is (or you don't) please let me know.
I really appreciate your help! Re-using this code would really save me some
time :)
-Andrew
