Ralph Goers commented on VFS-270:
---------------------------------
Wouldn't it be easier to just configure the logging level for commons vfs to be
Error in the logging framework you are using?
> Don't log VFS internal info unless vital
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: VFS-270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-270
> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Occurs for me under JDK 1.6 with 32 bit Linux, but
> presume everywhere.
> Reporter: William Pietri
> Priority: Minor
>
> Please change VFS's default behavior so that it by default no longer produces
> programmer-focused info to stdout.
> My situation is that I'm building a command-line tool. I'm using VFS because
> a) the Java file API is somewhat awkward, and b) I wanted to have my tool run
> in a dry-run mode, where it uses an in-RAM filesystem that gets discarded.
> Even when operating purely on local files, my command-line script produces
> this output:
> Jul 27, 2009 1:00:02 PM org.apache.commons.vfs.VfsLog info
> INFO: Using "/tmp/vfs_cache" as temporary files store.
> Surely, that's interesting to VFS developers. And maybe that's interesting to
> me as a developer using the library, although it makes me wonder why it's
> creating temporary files while doing local file access. But that's definitely
> not interesting to the users of my tool, especially ones who put it in a cron
> job, getting regular mail that contains only this.
> My suggestion is twofold:
> 1) Change the default logging levels so that they're tuned to the interests
> of a typical app consumer, rather than a developer. This message, for
> example, should be at DEBUG level rather than INFO level.
> 2) Optionally, allow developers who'd like more verbose logging of VFS
> internals an easy way to say so.
