A logging facade super-set that allows code written to its API to use any underlying logger

A logging facade super-set that allows code written to its API to use any underlying logger. Scribe does not present a lowest common denominator API. Instead, it includes methods for parametrized logging, operationally controlled dynamic configuration, annotation-based logging, complex appenders and filters, user-defined parameters, user-defined metrics, probe points and monitors, logging aspects, extensible pattern and xml based output, and more. Scribe can extend these services to any underlying logging technology, allowing the underlying logger to perform tricks it was never intended for. Scribe coalesces logging from both Apache Commons-Logging and SLF4J, can wrap both Log4J and JDK logging, and is fully Spring configurable.
