I agree with many others that, in most respects, LOG4J is a superior
API
and implementation for logging events within Java code. I have been
using
the API since last Summer and have been impressed with its progress
since
that time. If you have not given LOG4J a good look in the last year,
please look again!
Let me be clear: My plea primarily is that the features and
capabilities
already available with LOG4J must be included within JSR-47 in order
for
me to be able to adopt JSDK 1.4 logging. A secondary issue for me is
API
compatibility. I have segregated logging within its own layer and so
if
I have to adapt for a new API I am well prepared. Again, my primary
plea
is that features, extensibility, and performance not be
sacrificed.
Thanks, Ron

Greetings,
Here is a written critique of JSR47, the logging API shipped with
JDK 1.4:
If you agree with its contents, then you are encouraged to send a
personalized request to
java-logging-input@eng.sun.com
asking them to adopt log4j as the logging API shipped with JDK
1.4. Please cc: me if and when you choose do so. Thank you in
advance.
