Hi, one major advantage(to me, i acknowledge ;-) ) of the java.util.logging package over log4j and other logging libraries is its security. it uses the underlying java security infrastructure by securing logs with loggingpermission use. have you any plan to use loggingpermission?
We had no specific plans to add security given demand for it has been (surprisingly) week. However, the idea is definitely worth consideration.
it can be used very easily to control any logging configuration change. other use case can stands on loggingpermission to prevent some programers to use loggers of some packages for example.
Could you summarize the say 2 or 3 most important security checks you would like to see added?
if you are interested to implemented this feature, i can help you to understand java security internals if needed.
Thank you for the kind offer. We are interested in adding security. Would you care to contribute actual code?
cheers,
