+1 One thing is the logger, one thing is giving the logger to the user. We would still have a IoC method to give the logger to the Component, while giving in fact a commons-logging thing; then put logkit as an implementation of commons logging. On the commons list, Geir has shown great interest in having an alternative method of getting a logger as Avalon does; if we use commons-logging directly, he would have a solution easy at hand. I'm sure that we should concentrate more on interfaces and facades and leave implementation to others. So I'm (sayind it again) really +1 for using commons-logging as a Logger. > 2) If we maintain our own, what about a "TRACE" logging level.
