The architecture is similar as the Zend Logger from Zend_Log. On investigation if Zend_Log can be used for Translate5 needs, it turned out that translate5s special needs to the logger was not implementable by just reusing / extending the Zend_Log facility. So a conceptional adoption was done.

Wording

Since not only errors are logged, instead of "Error" or "ErrorCodes" we are talking about "Event" and "EventCodes".

...

The EventCodes used in exceptions and other logging usages are defined via the ErrorCodes listed and maintained in confluence..

Use the logger facility just to log stuff

The default logger instance is generally available in the registry:

$log = Zend_Registry::get('logger');
/* @var $log ZfExtendend_Logger */
$log->error("TODO"); // logs an error
$log->logDev($data1, $data2, ...); // a convienent replacement for error_log(print_r($data, 1)); Only for development, should not be comitted!

// the WorkflowLogger - dedicated to translate5 tasks and workflow stuff - must be instanced manually:
// TODO
