: The one issue I ran into was with daily rolling log files - maybe I : missed it, but I didn't find that functionality in the JDK logging : package, however it is in log4j. : : I'm not advocating a change, just noting this. We worked around it by : leveraging Resin's support for wrapping a logger (set up for daily : rolling log files) around a webapp.
as i recall Resin doens't wrap JDK logging -- they provide subclasses of java.util.logging.Handler that do what they want (log rotation, writitng to syslog, etc...) and provide their own LogManager subclass so they logging can be configured in their resin.conf. (basically they do all the things the java logging spec was designed to let people do to have control over logging without needing any third party logging frameworks ... it's just too bad JDK logging doesn't include all the nice Handlers and Formatters and configuration helper utilities that would make the API seem more usefull to people comaring it with log4j and the other abstraction frameworks) -Hoss
