Jonathan Ellis commented on THRIFT-416:
---------------------------------------
I would call "tell the developer what happened when there is a fatal error" a
significant improvement in functionality.
I'm not aware of a way to use log4j as a backend.
Michael, I'm not sure how that would work here -- I can think of several ways
to do something similar and all of them are clunkier than just shipping
log4j.jar.
> java.util.logging eats exceptions without warning

> Using java.util.logging has two related problems.
> One is that virtually no java project in the wild uses it. Everyone uses the
> more advanced log4j.
> Two is that unlike log4j, java.util.logging does not warn you when it is
> swallowing errors because it has not been configured.
> So thrift exceptions vanish without a trace which is bad.
> Here is a patch to switch to log4j.
