We can't use java.util.logging for this. Boss wants "structured"

Even java.util.logging support custom formatters and handlers.
(Log4j is better though)
Our admin/access audit logs will be written to (implementation may
vary) to a database or disk file in some structured format, and those
logs will be available in the Management Console GUI.
java.util.logging and Log4j can be customized for a task like that.
Can java.util.logging take a parameter like a own rolled Java Object, not a
String as a thing to log? or a String of xml formatted object?
Ok, maybe it can. XML string is a string. Have to think about this.. maybe
no need for a custom formatter, put the xml in, and read it out. As long as
it's on one LINE in the log it might work.
See the dependence below for an opinion of what a custom formatter can do.
If you need it impragnable in a custom way we will also need a custom
handler.
