Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-2696:
-------------------------------------

Does slf4j define MDC/NDC style operations?  Anything I move to would need that capability.  Actually I had considered a move to direct log4j use to get these features.

> 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.
