ESAPI Logging

Feature Overview
The ESAPI Logger should promote secure logging functionality while allowing organizations to choose their own logging framework. The primary benefit of the ESAPI Logger is the addition of relevant security information to the log message and the use of specific tags that allow log messages to be identified as SECURITY related (as opposed to FUNCTIONAL, PERFORMANCE, etc).

Possible Enhancements

 * Remove LogFactory interface. The ESAPI is a factory itself that can be used to select a logging implementation.


 * Change default log behavior to use classes rather than module names.


 * Remove success/failure parameter and replace that with SECURITY_SUCCESS, SECURITY_FAILURE, etc. event types.


 * Create a 'filter' or some other drop in replacement that can be used in existing logging frameworks to make them safer (like against log injection) without changing the interface that they are using today.
