The LiftLogger trait is made concrete in Log4JLogger, but the generic LiftLogger creation is done by function that can be modified in LogBoot: var loggerByName: String => LiftLogger = _logger; var loggerByClass: Class => LiftLogger = _loggerCls; One can insert a new logging system into lift by replacing the loggerByName and loggerByClass functions with appropriate functions that return a LiftLogger. David Pollak
add MappedText and MapperFakeClob classes David Pollak
