After a review of the beta JDK 1.4, and the logging API, we have
decided
that it is unfortunate that the logging mechanism is not pluggable.
In our
systems we use log4j in a very specific and customized fashion, the
JSR47
logging mechanism is wholly unsuited to our needs. That's fine, but
we'd
really like to use the Sun provided api (because of client perceptions,
no
*real* reason otherwise) and plug-in our own implementation (which would
be
our special configuration of Log4j).
Please, before it's too late, change JSR47 to either:
A) use Log4j
directly
or: B) clearly define an API
via an interface, and make the
implementation pluggable.
