Hi guys,
A note to all of this.
I sat down on the weekend to make SLF4J run. I immediately
encountered a NoSuchMethodError via a Spring dependency, via
commons-logging, to log4j (while I was running with nlog4j). I began
digging around to find the missing method (a call to a log(msg,
priority, obj, throwable) in Category, I believe) but didn't really want
to spend my Saturday afternoon working on a transitional problem.
I'll work on this problem and report it in more detail, later. Or
perhaps it was a bad configuration on my part.
This *does not* feel like the path of least resistance, however,
towards getting something as fundamental as logging in place.
Cheers,
Nick

Are you talking about the exception being thrown as a result of connection
problems, or an exception propogated from the server to the client?
In the first instance, it is barely an exception at all. It is a normal
condition and should be handled by the client very gracefully, and "at the
most" provide a Warning in the logs ( I would probably just put an INFO ).
The user will be notified of this. If a true fatal condition occurs, an Error
is written to the log, the user is notified with something that makes more
sense, and then a "Ok to Terminate" button.
In the second instance, the client should probably not receive a "Fatal"
message at all. It makes users nervous to find Fatal stuff in their logs. If
the server enters a fatal condition, the client application should be
notified through a proper exception, and act gracefully to that. And no need
to pollute the client log with anything but the same as above, a simple
Warning.
Sorry, but I fail to see how your use case invalidating Ceki's explanation.
Cheers
