Hi, Ages ago (a year or two?) we decided that we wanted to separate out logging configuration from environment.xml - is this still desired? The reason is that I am currently documenting this and want to finalize the implementation prior to doccing it.
The idea was to do something like SAR-INF/assembly.xml SAR-INF/config.xml SAR-INF/environment.xml SAR-INF/logging.xml and SAR-INF/logging.xml contains all the configuration for logging. I think it is just a case of no one getting around to doing it. This was just after Giacomo wrote the excalibur-logger package and we wanted to harmonize between Cocoon and Phoenix in this aspect. However I now have another motivation to do this. Several people have asked for support for log4j or native JDK1.4 logging configuration formats. So if we went the above way we could separate out logging we could search for configurations in the following order; SAR-INF/environment.xml (for backwards compatability) SAR-INF/logging.xml (excalibur logger) SAR-INF/log4j.xml (log4j xml format) SAR-INF/log4j.properties (log4j properties format) SAR-INF/log.properties (JDK1.4 format) That way people who want to use Log4j config files can do it easily. Thoughts? -- Cheers, Peter Donald *-------------------------------------------------* | An eye for eye only ends up making the whole | | world blind. - Gandhi | *-------------------------------------------------* --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
