In general, you also want your application to be as portable and therefore container-independent as possible. >For the tomcat part: see the Logger configuration reference for more details: >http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/logger.html >Also note that tomcat 4.1.x makes jakarta commons logging available to webapps by placing the API in the common/lib directory. So if you write your code to use commons-logging, and JDK 1.4 is available in the classpath, you will automatically get JDK 1.4 logging. >Personally, I like log4j much better than JDK 1.4 logging, and don't find much value to commons-logging either, so I just use log4j and have been very happy with it. Searching the list archives of this and the log4j-user list will show you many comparison and discussion threads on log4j vs. JDK 1.4 logging with and without commons-logging in the middle. +1. I like log4j as well. About the only reason to use commons-logging is that Tomcat is using it (increasingly). If you want to consolidate your logging with Tomcat's logging, then you will have to go c-l (or at least fancy configs :). Otherwise, turn to log4j and don't look back. JDK1.4 logging is just c-l with some pretty sugar cones. It's not a real logging system.
