Logging in Scout Framework [message #534472]

Logging-Facade[ 4 votes ]
1.	Apache Commons Logging	0 / 0%
2.	Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J)	4 / 100%

Until now we use for logging our own logging-facade which is very similar to Apache Commons or SLF4j.

We'd like to remove this dupplication of functionality and move to a widely used logging-facade.

Has the eclipse community a favorite? Is the use of one preferred?

Thanks for your insights.

Greetings
Stephan

I assume the question is only about what the Scout using developer get to use when writing Scout code. How does it look like in the backend where the log entries from various third party libraries come together? I not so fondly remember an OSGi project where I've ended up with a dozen logging libraries (a few with org.osgi.service.log.LogService/LogListener implementations, most without) which all had to be consolidated.

Kind regards

Well, yes and no. We would like to implement/use a logging facade that also simplifies your problem with dozens of logging libraries.
AFAIK SLF4j gives you the possibility to easily create wrappers over all logging implementations so every project will log over SLF4j and then into the logging framework of your choice (log4j/logback/jdk-logger...). Described in detail here: http://www.slf4j.org/legacy.html

Arthur, would that solve your past problems?

I assume so. Back then I went with an OSGi-logService based solution gathering and converting all other logging messages. In hindsight SLF4J did look like the less painful solution, but as all was running sufficiently well I didn't try switching over ot SLF4J.

A large Eclipse RCP project I was involved in used SLF4J as facade for
LogBack, too.
They even developed distributed logging based on Apache Mina. I cannot tell
if they're able to share or open-source any of this under e.g. Scout, but I
told them already your effort looks in many aspects worth participating.

If they won't be willing or able to help, I'll meet at least one leading
Mina contributor again next month at epicenter conference.
