# LOGBack project

LOGBack is intended as a successor to the popular log4j project. It was also designed by Ceki Gülcü, the founder of the log4j project. It builds upon exerience gained in building industrial-strength logging systems going back as far as 1999.

LOGBack's basic architecture is sufficiently generic so as to apply under different circumstances. At present time, LOGBack is divided into three modules, Core, Classic and Access.

The Core module lays the groundwork for the other two modules. The Classic module can be assimilated to an improved version of log4j. The Access module integrates with Servlet containers to provide HTPP-access log functionality. Note that you can easily build your own modules on top of the Core module.
