Hi, If you're happy with LogWeb that's fine by me, I guess it's all a matter of taste. I meant mature in the sense "easy to integrate in your project".
I was disappointed by logweb for the 3 following reasons: - I never could make it work. I tried the non-Maven non-Struts distro and had to struggle 1h with poorly documented dependencies to finally only have some of the pages working (now Maven would probably have saved me some time there). - I then tried to contact Nathan Coast at the address mentioned on the web site but my mails bounced back (this was 2 or 3 months ago, I just re-tried 2 minutes ago, the address seems to be running now) - the web site at codeczar does not mention any updates since 2004 (http://www.codeczar.com/products/logweb/changes-report.html), so I assumed the project was dead (which might be wrong according to this new version you mention) Now, maybe Logweb is a very good piece of software and I should have been more patient or maybe I took the wrong approach. I'm just saying that in comparison, I could have the Log4J 1.3 servlet running and integrated in my project in less than 15 min. I don't mean to offence anybody, espacially not Nathan, I think it's really nice having people contributing such tools. Cheers all, Gaspode On 3/12/07, Jacob Kjome <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

And the author even announced that a new version was coming out. I don't know what that entails, but if it improves upon what it already there, I think it will be quite nice. >The good news is that is it compatible with the current 1.2.14 Log4J, >so you just have to find the classes you need in Log4J 1.3, package >them in some way and include them in your project. > >The even better news is that Fabrizio Giustina and his friends (see >http://sourceforge.net/projects/openutils/ ) have already bundled all >that for you into a nice package called openutils. > >If you're using maven, getting it inside your project is as simple as that: > > <dependency> > <groupId>net.sourceforge.openutils</groupId> > <artifactId>openutils-log4j</artifactId> > <version>1.0</version> > </dependency> > >add then some mapping to you Web app: > > <servlet> > <servlet-name>log4j</servlet-name> > <servlet-class>it.openutils.log4j.Log4jConfigurationServlet</servlet-class> > </servlet> > > > <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>log4j</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/log4j/*</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> > >And you're done :-) > >Have fun, > >Gaspode > > > > > > >On 3/9/07, James Stauffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Look ingo LogWeb.
