[logging] How can I set the log level on Jdk14Logger

[Alex Karasulu <ao...@bellsouth.net>]

Hi,

I've trying to use commons-logging on the 1.4 platform and it 
looks as though the Jdk14Logger is swapped in for the SimpleLog 
so my settings for configuring the simple log as expected would 
have no effect.  

I would like to turn on "debug" level logging but I can't seem to figure 
out how to do this in commons-logging without just accessing the 
JDK1.4 logging mechanism which I don't want to do since this would 
defeat the purpose for using commons-logging in the first place.

Alex

That's exactly how you do it, and in my opinion, it doesn't defeat the 
purpose.  commons-logging leaves the configuration of the underlying 
logging implementation to the user.

Upon examining the different configuration methods of both log4j and 
java.util.logging, I think this was a good choice.

You can also set the system property (I believe it's 
org.apache.commons.logging.log) so that you get a SimpleLog instance no 
matter what your environment looks like.  The details are in the 
documentation.
