commons-logging seems a good way to hide log4j or jdk14 impl. And is allready present in tomcat-utils which is required for 3.3.2 (may be also 4.x) So everything is in now ? I do some experimentation : I replaced ref to LogHandler with CommonLogHandler, added a log4j.conf and put -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/log4j.conf in tomcat startup script and but tomcat didn't use log from common (still use QueueLogger) Question: commons-loggins should be use in QueueLogger ? >There is no need to complicate things with -HUP and java - it >isn't difficult ( I even started to work on that in the jk jni >code ), but it would be much cleaner/portable/etc to just use >java mechanisms. > >( of course, JMX is a good choice - and log4j does support JMX ) In latest log4j release or in HEAD ? The good thing with logrotate is that it's something admins known well and use very easily. What about jakarta-service or it's version in commons ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
