It doesn't matter which logging framework you pick, it will be the
wrong one :-)
What I mean is that, as a library, you don't get to pick which
logging framework the application that is using you chose. This
provides a problem where log messages from the library may end up
routed separately from the user's messages, or where the user needs
to maintain multiple logging configurations.
What we did in the SCA runtime is externalize logging. Any of our
components can define a monitor interface that is independent of a
logging framework. The runtime (not the user code) provides an
implementation of that interface that forwards monitoring events to a
logging framework that is provided by the user when they boot the
runtime.
There have been a few discussion on the list and I think on the wiki
about our Monitoring Framework and MonitorFactory - it might be worth
looking for those and see if they would work for DAS.

I've been looking at some of the older JIRA's, and upon looking at

logging was currently handled in the DAS, inconsistent at best, I

falls under Tucsany-292 and Tuscany-441.
As it stands I'm wondering what logging framework would be best for
the
project. At this point I've been looking at the libraries contained
in both
org.apache.log4j and those found in java.util.logging. While I'm
aware that
log4j is more robust, I'm wondering if it's all needed for these
purposes.
Not having any prior experiences with either of these logging
libraries, I'm
not clear on any extra overhead or other possible issues they may
have.
I'm also curious as to the overall goals of the logging system. I
imagine
this is more for the user then for us, so in that case all message,
exceptions and what not should probably be separated and organized
in some
standard way or place ( some logging/debugging directory perhaps ).
Also do
any of the other subprojects already have some form of logging in
place?
Should we all be using the same standards and files?
Thats all I'm wondering about so far. I appreciate any feedback.
