Security policy configuration, SimpleLog uses System.getProperties()





------- Additional Comments From rsitze@apache.org  2002-10-19 17:34 -------
This cannot be easily corrected:

On one hand, SimpleLog has a requirement to pickup unspecified properties
(those properties beginning with a prefix) describing logging levels for
different categories.

On the other, SimpleLog has turned into a real (although simple :-) log
implementation.

This leaves us with THREE choices for satisfactorily resolving this defect:

1. Simplify SimpleLog & remove offending code, or

2. Make SimpleLog a NotSoSimpleLog with it's own property file, and
   remove offending calls to System.getProperties() - use property file
   instead.

3. Acknowledge that in a proper J2EE environment SimpleLog may not be
   the best answer, so it doesn't matter anyway...
