public class LoggingFactory

extends java.lang.Object

Implements a logging factory that uses log4j if it is available. If log4 is not available then output is logged to the console via System.out. It is possible to change the PrintStream / OutputStream of the console logger Future enhancements could include adding support for java.util.logging. However, there would have to be some mechanism for determining which method to use. The current implementation only uses the console logger if log4j is not available. log4j can be found at http://logging.apache.org
