[ews.eclipse.technology.rap] Re: Logging in RAP

Hi Thomas,

depends on how you define "logging". If it's just about logging certain 
things to an end-point (file, db, stream, whatever) then there is 
nothing you need to care about. See for example this series about 
logging in OSGi:
http://ekkescorner.wordpress.com/blog-series/osgi-apps/
OSGi itself provides a log service that you can use.

If you're talking about Log-Handling, eg. display some error to the 
user, they you need to take a little care. As long as you're working 
with the status handlers of the Workbench, there should be no problem to 
expect. As always, the most problematic thing is if you're trying to do 
something in the UI from a background thread without a handle to the 
display - but this is not specific to logging.

Hope that helped a little bit,
  Ben
