BTW, does anyone know if there are any advantages to using Log4J over Java 1.4 logging? Currently, I'm thinking of just using standard logging since it's there by default and doesn't require me to install another package, plus that fact that it's more standard since it's part of Java proper.

this is very true actually, i.e the old JSP stack trace errors and so on will not be directed into log4j-type logs .. that's not good at all i agree. And I know there is an exception occurring right now, but it's not being reported into the stdout.
where is all the runtime exception stack tracing supposed to go Yoav? that won't be picked up by log4j which is a good point
cheers!

So, exceptions aren't logged by default? Does the new log4j method give you
full stack traces, or, is it just one line error messages? If I don't
configure log4j, does that mean that exceptions can be occurring and I won't
know about it? IMHO, a decent default logging configuration should be
provided by default. Not all of us are already experts in log4j...
