Logback Project
Logback is intended as a successor to the popular log4j
project. It was designed by Ceki Gülcü, the founder of
log4j. It builds upon experience gained in building
industrial-strength logging systems going back as far as 1999.
Logback's basic architecture is sufficiently generic so as to
apply under different circumstances. At present time, logback is
divided into three modules, logback-core, logback-classic and
logback-access.
The logback-core module lays the groundwork for the other two
modules. The logback-classic module can be assimilated to a
significantly improved version of log4j. Moreover, logback-classic
natively implements the SLF4J
API so that you can readily switch back and forth between
logback and other logging systems such as log4j or JDK14 Logging.
The logback-access module integrates with Servlet containers,
such as Tomcat and Jetty, to provide HTTP-access log
functionality. Note that you can easily build your own modules on
top of the Core module.
