[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2696) Consider migrating to slf4j

Consider migrating to slf4j --------------------------- Key: HHH-2696 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2696 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.4 Reporter: Koda Janh Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour Please consider migrating away from commons-logging and onto slf4j for the reasons mentioned here: http://www.qos.ch/logging/classloader.jsp The author of log4j went on to write "logback" which is an implementation of slf4j that has much better performance than log4j and much cleaner output. I recommend you evaluate these alternatives seriously and consider them for future releases of Hibernate. To ease migration you could use the "log4j bridge" mentioned here: http://logback.qos.ch/bridge.html You simply replace log4j's jar by the bridge jar and all log4j method calls get redirected to logback under the hood.
