I don't really want to say exactly what I'm working on right now for various reasons, but I can tell you my needs.
What I'm doing requires me to be able to receive all the messages being logged, regardless of whether the underlying logging configuration is set to log them or not. For instance, if in the code I were to use slf4j as the logger, and the underlying log system was Log4j, and the Log4j configuration was set to "warn", I would still want to get copied on logging messages for "info", "debug", etc... From there, the system I'm writing is going to process the logs in it's own way, and then send them... somewhere else (he said, mysteriously). It will be able to process the logs in a more dynamic way and pay attention to the threads the log messages came from, so changing the configuration files will be unnecessary. This is why I'm looking for a way to work with the abstraction layer rather than the underlying log system. What log messages get processed will be completely independent of the log system configuration and will be instantaneous. For the purposes of what I'm doing, consider the log configuration and output files normally generated as unreachable. Does that give you enough reasons why I'm looking for "listener" I asked about? No worries though. I understand your software has a charter, so I will wrap the Logger and LoggerFactory implementations for now, unless, given the above info, you have better ideas?
