I think projects should avoid logging entirely. The problem with
logging is the information that comes out of it is useless to other
software because it is encoded into user readable strings. IMHO, the
best policy is to use a Monitor. For example see the following XBean
Monitors:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/xbean/trunk/xbean-kernel/src/main/java/org/apache/xbean/kernel/ServiceMonitor.javahttp://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/xbean/trunk/xbean-kernel/src/main/java/org/apache/xbean/kernel/KernelMonitor.java
I think projects should avoid logging too. (I'm still hoping someone
tells me how the orb in Sun's J2SE logs... :)
Question about the monitors.... I'm curious - why didn't you generalize
so that you could add more events as needed w/o breaking client software?
