Here is a status for bugs regarding logging:
#10818 [logging] Add method enter() and exit() methods to public Log API
this means breaking the Log interface. there is some utility in this proposal but i think that log is so widely used that backwards compatibility is crucial. i'd probably support rejecting this one.
#21114 [logging] Create Log factory method getLog()
ditto
- These involve changing the public API, so it's not something we can do in a point release. Should these be marked as LATER in bugzilla?
these involve breaking backward compatibility and would require a full version change. we could probably mark them LATER and add for consideration in commons-logging 2. comments anyone?
#25156 [logging] Enhance error message for "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger does not implement Log"
- This seems to me to be similar to #26598
i'd like to put a fix in for this but i think a little bit of discussion is required. i'll probably start a separate thread.
#25940 [logging] SimpleLog.java adds extra - characters
- This one's mine. There is a patch available for this one that is pretty starightforward. The format of the log message needed some work.
fixed
#26598 [logging] org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl does not provide enough information on an InvocationTargetException in the newInstance() method.
- This is something that has to be decided on. It involves catching an extra Exception to provide a better error-message. Code that shows how to do it is available in the bugreport.
see 25156 above
#27135 [logging] SimpleLog log method should defer writing for better reuse!
- This is something for the architects to decide. The key question here is whether subclassing SimpleLog should be allowed.
i'm inclined to discourage subclassing of SimpleLog but i don't feel very strongly on this issue (i can't see there being much harm). anyone else have any comments?
Other things that needs to be done:
* I guess someone has to update all the files to the new licence.
done
* I proofread the mavenized user guide earlier from a syntactic perspective. Someone should read it form the semantic perspective.
i'll get started on proofreading the user guide now.
