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

[Steve Ebersole (JIRA)]

     [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2696?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Steve Ebersole updated HHH-2696:
--------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 3.3

OK, Ceki says he has added this feature in slf4j trunk.  And he plans on releasing 1.4.1 in the next few days including this feature.  So lets schedule this move for Hibernate 3.3.  Need to determine the best migration path in terms of whether to (1) use the bridge concept to not change Hibernate code or (2) use search/replace in Hibernate code to use the slf4j API.

> 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.
