Obviously no one has done alot of SOA based logging before. My
searches on the topic have come up empty. After consulting with the
professional services branch of a product we're working with, it's
decided tghe best approach might be to write our own logging
framework, using Log4J, which will log in a SOA fashion. Has anyone
had other experience?

By SOA-based logging do you mean:

1. Sending log messages to a logging service, where they will be logged
2. Logging artifacts of an SOA system.
3. Something else

log4j already has a bunch of appenders that log to remote
servers.

It has nothing to do with SOA, which is services at a much
higher level.

this is true. log4j is designed primarily to log per the software
class you
are in. we're looking for a mechanism which will log per which
business
service you are in. similar to a transaction, but not quite.
one example would be, logging when a particular business operation
failed, and at which point.

one thought i had was using log4j to note which *service* i'm
currently
in and add this to the appender as logging is done across classes, and
layers.
wondered if anyone had any other experience.
