Or you can use log4j and set it up to use a remote socket server or a
UNIX Syslog daemon. The documentation at
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html mentions the different
logging appenders available.
On a seperate note, log4j - IMHO - ought to be a service via JMX as an
MBean. I am surprised that the Sun Logging API
(http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/review/jsr047/index.html)
doesn't specify it as such, and instead only defines method calls.
There is only a passing reference to J2EE containers providing their own
log managers. Anybody know why MBean integration is ommitted from that
document?
