It does not really matter what TRACE level gets used for. Each development team / organization will have their interpretation of it depending on how they intend to use the information logged at both levels. More importantly - having a level more verbose than DEBUG is very handy. We are planni

It seems obvious enough why there is wide disagreement on how to use the existing levels and/or whether more levels are needed. People are trying to cram selectively enabled logging into log4j's strict hierarchical logging scheme. What I think mos people want is some reasonable way of saying how

Bill, I believe there is a plan in place to do this with some kind of "logging context" in a future release. I'm not part of the dev list, so I don't know that for a fact, but it is my understanding from various responses to some problems that I had early on with these issues.

IMHO, the simplicity of Debug/info/warn/error/fatal is one of Log4j's strengths. I personally would not want Trace However, if I required Trace-style logging, I would simply log to a dotted logger name "---.trace". E.g If I have a component "com.mycompany.mycomponent", I have a complimentary "c

Although catering for user requests is one of the guiding principles behind this project, I feel that introducing the TRACE level would be a mistake. Log4j domains which will be soon introduced into log4j provide a much more powerful mechanism for categorizing logging statements. Please bear with m

Paul, Actually, based on our conversation back in August, it works out better if you put the "trace" at the front of the class name, that way you still can specify package names and get everything underneath it, and you can also turn on tracing without a package or class name. For exam

There is no documentation on log4j domains yet. However, a short spec will be written before coding. Domains will have an impact on the inner architecture of log4j, so prior documentation should help with the coding. At 05:50 PM 9/24/2003 -0400, Lutz Michael wrote: Is there a location where "l
