<snip> I've been told at work that we cannot use it because it isn't "J2EE-compliant"... I'm awaiting clarification on what that actually means in this context </snip>
Probably because the configureAndWatch() method in o.a.l.x.DOMConfigurator will cause a 'file watcher' thread to be spawned. The fact that the J2EE spec regards thread management as the responsibility of the container not the application might lead some people to decry the use of log4J in a J2EE environment. Of course, you don't have to use configureAndWatch() method, in fact the DOMConfigurator and all its methods will be deprecated in log4j 1.3 so any one using configureAndWatch() might have to find another approach to dynamic reconfiguration. Note: I'm not presenting this as my opinion on whether Log4J is J2EE compliant. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 January 2005 07:01 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [OT] Logging Question Commons Logging over Log4J. <snip> I've been told at work that we cannot use it because it isn't "J2EE-compliant"...

Ive not heard of anything in log4j that makes it unsuitable for use in a j2ee environment (otoh Ive never peered to deeply into the details either). Its use seems so ubiquitious that its almost a defacto standard, and Ive not had any issues with it. Frank W. Zammetti wrote: > Quick question...

I'm guessing Log4J is the most common answer, but I'd like to hear what you all are doing. Note that I'm only interested in those using Commons Logging and their answers, for the sake of the reason I'm asking in the first place. :) > > Also, for anyone that is using Log4J...
