Some people may disagree but we have take the approach of using the commons-logging API. We have configured it to use log4j we appropriate. If needed I can configure commons-logging to use JDK 1.4 logging. You will probably find JDK 1.4 logging support in log4j via an append or someting else in the future.
Choosing log4j is not a bad choice because it is widely used and support options JDK 1.4 does not support now and may not support soon. -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Petersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 October, 2003 16:15 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Log4J vs. java.util.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.
