<snip-all/> And let's not forget about the new logging api of jdk 1.4!
As we in Cocoon are using Avalon anyway, it seems appropriate to use the Avalon logging as well. It may have some disadvantages compared with others, it has some advantages over them, but what really matters is: It simply works and is fast. Problems may only arise when you use Cocoon in an existing environment, where other logging frameworks are already in use. But, and this is the good news, the Avalon team is of course aware of all the other logging frameworks and tries to provide solutions for combining them. (Please, Berin or Peter correct me if the following is not right.) The new LogEnabled interface of Avalon abstracts from the underlying logging system. So you can use LogKit, Log4j or the logging API of JDK 1.4 but always have the same interface to this provided by Avalon. Unfortunately there are some outstanding issues until this mechanism can be used in Cocoon. Torsten has already committed himself to change Cocoon as soon as Avalon is providing everything needed. And please, if someone wants to start a thread about which logging framework is best, please do not use the cocoon mailing list for this. Discuss it anywhere else and present us the results - and we will see then what we have to do (Sylvain, Nicola Ken - don't worry, I don't target at you with this.)
