It seems obvious enough why there is wide disagreement on how to use the existing levels and/or whether more levels are needed. People are trying to cram selectively enabled logging into log4j's strict hierarchical logging scheme.
What I think mos people want is some reasonable way of saying how much logging they want (and the current scheme is fine for that) along with saying what kind of information they want logged (the current scheme is lousy for that). What folks probably want for the latter is the ability to turn on and off some selection of "items of interest". I'm sure many people independently do this outside of log4j. I don't know if it would be easy / reasonable / worthwhile to have some facility inside log4j that implemented the same idea. You might be able to cook up some "items of interest" that were interesting to many development efforts, but there would certainly be unique elements that folks would want to use to supplement that. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (WJCarpenter) PGP 0x91865119 38 95 1B 69 C9 C6 3D 25 73 46 32 04 69 D6 ED F3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
