It seems CXF logging uses java.util.logging, which is fine for a standalone product, but not so fine when integrating CXF inside another product (thinking about geronimo, servicemix, etc...). The main problem is that lots of products uses log4j or another logging mechanism, and not being able to integrate and use the same logging mechanism is imho a real pain for users who want to debug and see what happens. I'm thinking about creating a interface org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Logger that would be used instead of the java.util.logging.Logger class. The LogUtils helper class would reuse a default implementation using java.util.logging, while other products could implement their own version to wrap their preferred logging api. Thoughts ?
