Log4j presentation at ApacheCon 2003

Here is a draft of my log4j presentation abstract for ApacheCon 2003.


What is new in log4j version 1.3?
=================================

Log4j is a Java logging framework affiliated with the Apache Software
foundation.  By some estimations one million Java developers use log4j
regularly, ranking it as one of the most popular Java projects of the ASF.

Log4j version 1.3 (to be released) will bring many new useful
enhancements.

These include:

- significant improvements in speed and memory management
- spectacular enhancements to Chainsaw
- highly extensible XML configuration files
- support for custom conversion words in PatternLayout
- a new logging dimension in the form of logging domains
- plugins, receivers, and watchdogs...
- interoperability with log4j-like logging frameworks in other languages
- strategy based rollovers

This will first quickly introduce log4j and proceed to discuss each of
the aforementioned improvements in some detail.

>> - a new logging dimension in the form of logging domains

This is the second time I've seen reference to this concept.  However, I
have been unable to find anything about it.  What is its intended purpose?

Specifically, I am thinking of a logging I was given by my project manager
at the beginning of my current project.  The requirement was to be able to
allow control of logging level on a user by user basis.  Basically, he wants
to be able to run the app at a warn level, but then dynamically be able to
switch to debug mode for a requests generated by a given user.  Currently we
are capturing username in MDC.

Would logging domains be able to allow us to do something like that?
