Thanks for the link, I appreciate it...
I'm glad to see a RFE was placed into the issue tracker. I searched
there already, but didn't see it. My search foo must be weak today.
I noticed that on the SLF4J project, it lists Restlet as a user. Is
this the case? I see an org.slf4j.jar file in the distribution (among
other logging jars), but don't see any use?
Sean Landis, if you're reading this, could you possibly give more
details about your JdkLoggingToLog4jBridge solution?? Maybe this
information could be appended to the RFE?
As a stand-alone project, it's quite fine that Restlet could use JDK
logging. However, for integration with other environments, it's
important that Restlet uses the logging facility that is local to the
deployment. Finding a solution that allows a end user to switch to
whatever logging facility they are already comfortable with seems like a
worthy goal for adoption of the project.

"If you're building a stand-alone application, don't use
commons-logging. If you're building an application server, don't use
commons-logging. If you're building a moderately large framework, don't
use commons-logging. If however, like the Jakarta Commons project,
you're building a tiny little component that you intend for other
developers to embed in their applications and frameworks, and you
believe that logging information might be useful to those clients, and
you can't be sure what logging framework they're going to want to use,
then commons-logging might be useful to you."
That's what RESTlet is, a library/component to be embedded into other
setups. If I'm using log4j, I want _all_ my log messages to go through
log4j. That's the WHOLE purpose of using the Commons Logging facility
(with all its problems).
