It seems that you have more informations than I do. It's the first time
I've heard of a standard logging mechanism. Do you have a link where I
could find more details ? Have you any informations on the timeframe ?

To answer your question - at the moment, there is no relation. I would
expect - depending on how "rich" the coming log mechanism will be -
that we could include it just as another LogMsgSink, or the other way
round (ie. register the LogManager somehow at java.util.logging, assuming
that they will have a similar managing and/or dispatching class.

Request - final keyword removed

[Robert Leland <Ro...@free2create.org>]

Please consider removing the 'final' keyword from
the struts classes that use it. It's hard to predict how 
these classes will be extended. The Vector class is 
an extreme example of a class that defined 'final' methods. 
This inflexability was the major reason there is now a
ArrayList in JV 2. One example of this is <Struts:hidden /> Tag,
I forget the others I have encountered.

Thanks,

Rob
