We can't use java.util.logging for this. Boss wants "structured" data, not flat text files.

Actually our logging needs are 3 fold.

We have a web type server managing identities and access, kind of an
Identity and Access management solution. It's requests and actions must be
logged, and plain text web server type log file is not enough.

Then we have and Administration GUI Web Service for it, and every action
there must be logged, identifying actions, entity and it's attributes, when
updates, old and new values logged. Very "structural" data.

Finally we have "normal" debug log, which can be handled with
java.util.logging (currently we use Log4j, but boss wants to get rid of
open source).

Okay, i think you need to see the big picture here, and address the real problem: your boss is an idiot, and he needs to be fired. How can you bring this about? Are there other people in the organisation who feel this way? What does his boss think of him? You may be able to set up a tiger team and brainstorm up some solutions.

If not, i know a guy. Not cheap, but discreet. Just give me the word.
