JDBC need to use J2SE 1.4 logging instead of logwriters. Even though , JDBC 3.0 is part of J2SE 1.4, JDBC spec is silent about j2se 1.4 logging apis. Usage of logwriters is almost useless for a user, when it is used in enterprise environment. For example, it is not reallistic for the users to configure a printwriter for a datasource implementation in the application server. This is more applicable to javax.sql.DataSource, javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource and javax.sql.XADataSource.
