[ANN] log4js - Logging for JavaScript

["Strittmatter, Stephan" <St...@siemens.com>]

Hello all,

I wanted to inform you about a logging API for JavaScript, which could
be very useful for MyFaces also because of getting more and more complex
JavaScripts by AJAX-Components which will be added to MyFaces:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/log4js/

I started its implemenataion already at the beginning of this year and
the main goal is to have an API which is very simmilar to the Java
version log4j.

At the moment there are several appenders available for logging. For
example an AJAXAppender, which is posting the logging messages to the
server, where you are able to log them e.g. by log4j to a file located
at the server!

For more details have a look at: 
  http://jroller.com/page/stritti/Weblog?catname=%2Flog4js
and
  http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36961

I know, there are several implementations of logging in JavaScript. Some
are very simple, the others are very specific. The main goal is to have
an API, which is worth to be listed at http://logging.apache.org as a
main location for logging. I already contacted some of the developers of
the other logging implementations to concentrate the energy to reacht
this goal.

Currently Seth Chisamore is supporting me to improve the sources and
added some additional appenders.

Kind regards,

Stephan Strittmatter
