SLF4J is a logging abstraction gaining wide acceptance in the Java community. Logback is the successor of the log4j project. The talk will present both SLF4J and logback projects.
The logging abstraction problem will be presented. SLF4J tackles this problem in a decidedly unsophisticated manner. There are significant lessons to be learned from SLF4J's approach.
Logback, as the successor to log4j, is an evolution of the former project. It builds on the log4j experience, first by modularizing according to intended usage and second by simplifying the implementation. As a result, logback accomplishes more with less code.
In addition to lessons learned and design principles, the talk will be accompanied by a multitude of examples.
