Log4j 1.3 & Logging Domains

[Lutz Michael <mi...@siemens.com>]

Is it appropriate to ask questions about Log4j 1.3 and Logging Domains at
this time?  I wanted to make sure this is OK since 1.3 is not generally
available yet.

The basic questions I would have deal with the functionality provided by
Domains, a high level explanation of how they'll work, a rough guess as to
when the feature may be generally available (e.g. > or < one year?), and
also I heard at one point that a patent may be acquired on logging domains.
Is this still the plan, and what is the business intent of obtaining a
patent on this feature?  (I'm assuming the intent would be to make sure
other groups don't steal the idea, but I just wanted to double-check this).

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Mike
