[PATCH] Use the commons logging LogFactory also in Fop.java





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-04-06 21:48 -------
Simon, if I understand you correctly (and pardon me, I'm not a logging expert):

1.) With our current process of setting the logger in FOP.java directly, we end 
up overriding whatever the command-line user may have specified on their 
machine?  (Remember, FOP embedded users set Logging via the Driver class 
anyway.)

2.) Will FOP still quietly default to SimpleLog if the user doesn't enter 
anything explicitly?  I would guess 95%* of our **command-line** user base 
either doesn't care about logging, or if they did care they want the command-
line output (i.e., SimpleLog) anyway--does your change reflect this?  We don't 
want users practicing with the command line to have to distract themselves with 
the logger.

3.)  As another option for the command-line user, given only a small minority 
want to log to a file, would it be better to provide a -logfile option, that 
once specified, logs to that file, and absent the setting of that option, will 
go quietly go to the SimpleLog?

Thanks,
Glen
