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

What makes you think this?  I'm not saying anything negative about
the servlet included in Log4j 1.3, but LogWeb it quite good.  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.
