In this case, your standalone app should integrate the org.dbmonitor

In this case, your application, which integrates the org.dbmonitor
component should configure logging for it.
IMHO, it is not possible to find an "one size fits all" solution which
allows a component to be integrated seamlessly and to be used
standalone.
