Hi Rick, I don't know what other components you have in your app that may rely directly on various non-SLF loggers (like Log4J or java.util.logging). If you have any, it may complicate the picture. As as far as Cayenne is concerned, it should be very simple though. I don't have much recent experience bridging specifically to Log4J logger, but here is a recipe based on Logback framework.
Logback is a powerful modern logging framework built by the original Log4J authors. Also Logback already knows about SLF4J, so it does not require extra bridging. So: 1. Include this dependency: <dependency> <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId> <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId> <version>1.1.11</version> </dependency> From here you should already see the logs. 2. To provide custom configuration, place your "logback.xml" file on classpath (e.g. under "src/main/resources" if you are using Maven-like layout). This should get you going. Read Logback manual (e.g. [1]) for more advanced configuration and log management.
