Conclusion
In this chapter, we have examined how to extend the existing log4j framework to write our own application-specific logging components. The plug-and-play nature of log4j makes it easy to integrate custom components into the existing framework. The default capability of log4j is versatile and meets most of the routine requirements in logging activity. However, you might venture to extend the existing framework should you really need it. This chapter provides a guideline for implementing custom logging components to use with log4j.
The next chapter presents a complete log4j example using the concepts discussed so far.
