Rethinking logging
Recently I discovered something new about a thing I am using on an every day basis like most of the software engineers. It's about logging. You may ask: "What is so exiting about logging?"
In my opinion logging is one of the underestimated aspects of software development. Everyone uses it, but only very few are using it right.
Logging is the bridge between the development phase and the operational phase in the software life cycle. If you do it right it may provide valuable informations about the inner workings of an application.
I'am using log4j for quite a while. I am not sure when the framework was created by Ceki Gülcü, but log4j was the straight edge for java logging in the recent years. Unfortunately it became very quite around the log4j project recently.
The name is jaev …
The name of who/what is jaev? The jaev framework is my first open source project! Jepp, I joined the community and giving something back after years of using the frameworks of other people.
What does jaev do? The name jaev is the abbreviation for java (advanced) email validation. So the framework does validate e-mails. Sounds quite boring, isn't it? Of course not!
