The JBoss letter did bring up one good point, can we finally get trace level logging into commons-logging so every project in the world doesn't need to adapt the Log4j examples?
Commons Logging, or Log4J? Those are two separate projects. Commons
Logging has had trace for almost two years. But when it calls Log4J, it
maps trace to debug because Log4J doesn't have a trace level. So it seems
to me that it is Log4J that needs to add a standard trace level. Am I
missing something?
Log4j doesn't need to add anything. If they don't want a TRACE level, the commons-logging team can just add it like every one else does. I personally think it would be nice to have Log4j to add it to the next version, but the community needs it to work today with the current version of Log4j.
Does anyone here have influence with the commons-logging Committers ?
YOU do. Apache is run as a meritocracy. Subscribe to that mailing list and
make the case.
Some people have more influence because they have already shown to have merit and if someone with a proven track record advocates for the change it in, in my mind, it is more likely to get happen. Anyway, I'll suggest it on the commons-logging list tomorrow when I wake-up.
