2. Project Summary
   2.1 Project Description

	Apache log4j is a Java-based logging utility.

4. Technical Description:

	The architecture of the log4j API is layered. Each layer consists
	of different objects performing different tasks. The top layer
	captures the logging information, the middle layer is involved in
	analyzing and authorizing the logging information, and the bottom
	layer is responsible for formatting and publishing the logging
	information to a destination. In essence, log4j consists of three
	types of primary objects:
		Logger:
			The Logger object (formerly known as the Category
			object in releases prior to log4j 1.2) is responsible
			for capturing logging information. Logger objects
			are stored in a namespace hierarchy.
		Appender:
			The Appender object is responsible for publishing
			logging information to various preferred destinations.
			Each Appender object will have at least one target
			destination attached to it. For example, a ConsoleAppender
			object is capable of printing logging information to a
			console.
		Layout:
			The Layout object is used to format logging information
			in different styles. Appender objects utilize Layout
			 objects before publishing logging information. Layout
			objects play an important role in publishing logging 
			information in a way that is human readable and reusable.
