jms appender

[Mark Lybarger <ml...@gmail.com>]

we're interested in creating a centraliszed logging solution. we'd also like 
to have logging have as little impact to the application (logging should be 
fast). our thought is to combine a jms logger on the "client" side, and have 
a jms listerner which logs the message using jdbc logger. 

are there any gotchas to watch out for something like this? will the logging 
maintain its consistancy over a local filesystem based logging (meaning that 
the logs are in the correct order)? will a jms logger on the client be 
heavier or lighter than a filesystem based logger? would it be a good idea 
to use a MDB to process the incoming logs, or just a jms listener?

thanks!
