In Avalon, we provide the following interface for the LoggerConfiguration: /* * Copyright (C) The Apache Software Foundation. All rights reserved. * * This software is published under the terms of the Apache Software License * version 1.1, a copy of which has been included with this distribution in * the LICENSE.txt file. */ package org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger; import org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger; /** * LoggerManager Interface. This is the interface used to get instances of * a Logger for your system. * * @author <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";>Berin Loritsch</a> * @version CVS $Revision: 1.1 $ $Date: 2002/01/17 20:44:59 $ */ public interface LoggerManager { /** * Return the Logger for the specified category. */ Logger getLoggerForCategory( String categoryName ); /** * Return the default Logger. This is basically the same * as getting the Logger for the "" category. */ Logger getDefaultLogger(); } We have an implementation for LogKit which is pretty involved (mainly because LogKit does not provide a file based configuration scheme directly), and one for Log4J which is very simple (it differs to Log4J's configuration scheme).
