Re Debug messages

[Kevin Hawkins]

I while back I was thinking that we should have a xAP based error
notification using xAP messages - a sort of schema for sending out
diagnostic / debugging /error messages such that a central application
could
log or monitor them. Maybe an opportunity for a central application to
create logging for components maintained in one file (divided into sections
)from many sources.

Perhaps two schemas...

Class=xAP.Error
Class=xAP.Debug

And within each perhaps three levels... possibly the block names should be
identical though with just the class names different.

Error.info
Error.warning
Error.critical Fatal ??

Debug.info
Debug.warning
Debug.critical

Or alternatively put the severity into the block

xAP.error
{
severity=critical
......

All info can be provided within the block with perhaps a description and
details on your specific logfile location

}
debug.warning
{
description=Bad UID encountered
detail=A UID of FF212300 with a source address of
acme.lightcontroller.lounge:centrelight was received
logfile=errorlog.txt
path=c:\xAP\MyApp\logs
}

Any thoughts ?? Gives a way to see real time problems and also to
manage the many different log locations that people will be using..
