[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-2412) Update the logging framework

Update the logging framework ---------------------------- Key: JBAS-2412 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-2412 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Logging Reporter: Scott M Stark Assignee: David Lloyd Fix For: JBossAS-5.1.0.Beta1 Its been a long time since we revisted the logging framework and the use of log4j as the default. I looked at having better seamless integration with the jdk java.util.logging framework using a port of the log4j appenders/layout to jdk handlers/formatters and the initial prototype is in head as mentioned in the linked forum thread. We need to reevaluate what the default logging implementation should be along with what updates the Log4jService needs. Some things to think about: 1. Using a log4j implementation that does not suffer from the current deadlock problem 2. How to nlog4j, slf4j, commons logging fit into the picture 3. Generalization of the Log4jService into one that works for whatever the default implementation is 3a. Add support for redirecting stderr, stdout to seperate log files instead of all loggers.
