2) The last email for the logging - is below
We could use the LogUtils class from celtix which is using the
jdk1.5 logging.
I think there was strong opposition against JDK logging because
people love log4j. I think the consensus was to define our own
logger interface and inject that in ORB.init().
What are our target JDK versions again? Do we start w/ JDK14 or
JDK13? I am of the opinion that we use the vanilla logger for JDK14
or, if we start w/ JDK13, log4j. In either case I do not see the
need for a specialized logger interface that's injected; I'm
interested in hearing opinion on this.
JDK 1.3 will be end-of-lifed by Sun this summer, so I think we should
ignore it.
Re logging, where I work we use log4j on JDK 1.4. I think that is a
pretty common scenario, and using vanilla j.u.logging will not
integrate well with the rest of our apps. If you want to support both
you either have to use some logger abstraction, and a logger interface
is the best abstraction I can come up with.
Makes sense. What about slf4j?
Re minimum JDK: I would like to also bring JDK 1.5 into the picture,
but maybe that should go into another thread.
Yes, if our minimum JDK is 1.4 then I assume that we would work under
JDK1.5; er, at least if you don't use Geronimo as an example. :)
