I think your boss is correct. The Java LogManager is pretty robust. I'd definitely try that first, and only abandon it when it was proven it couldn't work. The LogManager is pretty sophisticated, it'll even rotate your logs for you.

Writing logs to a database... why? The logs should be simple, so that they are present even when things don't work. How are you going to debug database problems when the logs didn't get written because the database was supposed to be hold the logs in the first place? This seems circular, and unnecessarily complex. Even baroque.

If I got an app that wrote logs to a database, I think I'd curse your name. Just saying....
