On a tangent, I'm considering releasing a CF simple logger component to the public domain. Should I publish on github, bitbucket, or something else? This component uses native CF and "standard" java, with no dependencies, which was why I wrote it. (I was suffering from jar wars which I have to imagine others suffer from as well)

GitHub and ForgeBox.

My requirement was a rolling file appender, which lucee removed from it's version of log4j2 - I assume for speed. log4j works great for me in CF because they use standard log4j2, but I spend too many hours attempting to find the working recipe to swap out lucee log4j2 with apache log4j2 - hence, my jar wars reference. I guess I assumed LogBox was a wrapper on top of log4j so I did not look. 😞

No it's all native CFML. However it's rolling file appender had the race condition issues under any sort of load. I think Luis has since fixed that though (too late for us: we rolled out own).

I'll take a look before I publish "yet another already written component" and see what and how it does it's magic.

I was not meaning you should not publish it. You should. My comment was more to other people reading the thread.

I did not take your comment that way, no worries.
