Jason Dillon commented on GERONIMO-2401:
----------------------------------------

I really think that we should really think about using slf4j instead of commons-logging... and perhaps even change our logging instance strategy a little.

Right now we have static loggers per class (for most things), and what I am starting to think is that instance loggers are better, so that logging for multiple instances of bits that are bound under different contexts can be effectively controlled and managed better.

For example, we might want all logs for a particular application to end up in a specific file, but none of the other bits from other apps.  This isn't very easy to do right now with the static loggers, though it can be done.  I suggest we re-think this and other logging aspects for 2.1 and make that release one with really solid, flexible and reliable logging, which IMO is one of the most important facilities which an application server can provide.  Logging is helpful for development, qa, staging and production, it impacts every aspect of the life-cycle of an app deployed in an application server... and IMO we really need to do a *much better* job in the logging scene.
