[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-392?page=comments#action_12447367 ] Will Glass-Husain commented on VELOCITY-392: --------------------------------------------
Makes sense. Obviously, you could always create a LogChute that acts as a bridge between Velocity and slf4j. > Switch to a better log system - slf4j > ------------------------------------- > > Key: VELOCITY-392 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-392 > Project: Velocity > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Engine > Affects Versions: 1.5 > Environment: Operating System: All > Platform: All > Reporter: Jens Elkner > Assigned To: Henning Schmiedehausen > Priority: Minor > Attachments: velocity.patch > > > Since I'm still very unhappy with the current logging workaround in velocity, > I > removed the complete velocity logsystem stuff and replaced it with slf4j (see > http://slf4j.org/manual.html ; http://slf4j.org/faq.html). So, the final thing > is a little bit smaller and should be wrt. logging easier to use (i.e. no need > for passing runtime svc handles back and forth just to be able to log > something), much faster, safer and more precise and powerful than the old > one... > In case your are interested, I'll attach the patch made against the saturday > evening svn repository. It basically contains the log changes as well as some > code cleaning (i.e. remove/comment out unsed vars/methods, removed > unneccessary > casts as well as nested else clauses, removed throw XExceptions, which are > actually not thrown). Finally I switched many log.info into log.debug, since > the > appropriate messages are important for developers only and should not irritate > the enduser (who usually doesn't even understand that freak language ;-)). > To get the thing running out of the box, I modified the buildfile to include > log4j.properties in the jar, so that nlog4j aka log4j NG ;-) finds and uses it > automatically, if one has not explictly configured it. And of course > build/lib/log4j has been replaced with nlog4j (see > http://www.slf4j.org/nlog4j/download.html) > Regards, > jens. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
