[Red5] What's the best way to do logging in Red5 7.0+

[Ignacio Lopez]

Hi, I've had the same problem that Steve and, unfortunately, there seems to
be no way of implementing a custom logging in red5-0.7
I've read and tried everything, even modifying the main logback.xml in
red5/conf but nothing worked. So I've given up and for the moment I am using
a custom logging implementation without using red5 infrastructure...

Sometimes this kind of breaking changes are needed in order to provide a
more flexible and scalable way of doing things in the future...even if
something gets broken in the middle and some people get upset.

The workarounds described only works in red5 0.8 +, and that version is not
stable enough for production so I would recommend to either wait on 0.8 or
give up on logging and implementing something on your own =)

Cheers and happy coding!
