Sorry, I should have been more detailed on the portability side of
things.
There's two parts here:
* The log message creation
* The log message consumption
Now, jBoss (EJBoss is the old name) allows you to do System.out calls
for easy logging. You can also use our server-specific Logger component
(which, OTOH, is a JMX component and hence portable) to do logging,
which is basically the same thing but with more control. However, you
can also do your own logging classes if you want to have this tightly
integrated with your app. Any way you can think of to get hold of
messages is fine.
Then, you need to be able to send these to log consumers (SNMP, syslog,
whatever). This is where JMX comes in, and which is portable (AFAIK,
most servers will support JMX in the not-so-distant future.). jBoss log
message delivery (through our Logger JMX component) is very portable
since we use JMX notifications for log delivery, so if you make a JMX
MBean which gets messages and logs these any way you want, that
component will be portable.
So, the only place where you may want to think closely is in log message
creation. And any of the above is fine really.
That's my take on it. If your particular server does not yet support
JMX, at least it might support "startup classes" to allow you to extend
it, and you could use that to start your own JMX MBeanServer to register
these portable JMX components.
