Enable JCL in Toolkit project Requirements:

• Regulate warning level (we shoud be able to suppress logs eg LEVEL.OFF)
• Component loggin enablement (eg. Log SQL Statements, Login History, Mail Disribution)

Questions we have:

• Where do we keep properties for this feature ?
• How do we change properties for Logger module ?

Proposed solutions:

• JCL implementation by LOG4J (Logger.debug)
  • plus
  • well known standards
  • more levels than just out and err - ALL, OFF, DEBUG, ERROR, FATAL, INFO, WARN
  • minus
  • need code in the init servlet, a thread to check for properties updates is created
  • need access to properties file - to edit and change settings, maybe manual pushes of updated properties files

• JCL implementation By WS5.0 (System.out, System.err)
  • plus
  • Administration console already exists
  • minus
  • Limitied functionality
