Most likely Ceki would go ballistic ;) The answer is that LogKit existed at Apache for a bit before Log4j came here. It has made some of the same mistakes as Log4j but also managed to avoid some of them. In particular it is more friendly to deeper category hierarchies, safer/securer access and multiple hierarchies in JVM. It also has a more performance orientated perspective (trades small bits of memory for much faster performance). However it does not have many of the bells and whistles as Log4j. It doesn't do object rendering, i18n, lifecycle management of output objects etc. It is unlikely that it will ever do any of these things. I think it also is missing some of the output targets (though it also has a few more) though this has likely changed since I last looked at Log4j. -- Cheers, Pete -------------------------------------------------- "An intellectual is someone who has been educated beyond their intelligence." -------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
