Dear sir/madam
 
I was introduced to Log4j by a colleague and have now used it in my last two projects. I have found it to be an excellent and easy to use API which I recommend to all my colleagues. Having tried to write similar functionality in the past I will not be doing so in the future to my great relief.
 
The concerns raised in the ServerSide article are of concern. As far as I can see the Log4j implementation is sufficient if not superior and is available now. Introducing another logging mechanism as standard in Java 1.4 seems to be a wasted effort and I would encourage Sun to adopt log4j as the standard mechanism.
 
Regards
