Re: [ANN] Apache Struts 2.3.30 GA
Thanks Christoph, like i mentioned before we don't want to carry more bridges into logging. I'm not against moving towards log4j2 and i already changed my entire code base to use log4j2 as a part of struts2 upgrade but the problem here is application server support, we are using latest version Wildfly available (10.0.0 GA) so our options are at the extreme. Thanks Lukasz for pointing out that blog link, which i have already tried and that doesn't work give the desired log output as i mentioned before all logs from application is getting written into file as well as console as INFO [stdout] On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 3:31 PM, Lukasz Lenart wrote: > 2016-07-19 10:55 GMT+02:00 Sreekanth S.

If this does not give you desired results you could still use log4j1 as log-implementation for the app and forward both APIs (log4j2-api and slf4j-api) to log4j1. To achieve that you would need log4j-slf4j-impl. Your logging pipeline would look like this then: log4j-api (v2) --> log4j-slf4j-impl --> slf4j-api --> slf4j-log4j12 --> log4j (v1) Keep in mind that log4j1 has been deprecated. It is likely that old app servers contain other outdated libraries as well which might cause e.g. security issues. You should consider upgrading your app server. But of course that can take some time.

Re: [ANN] Apache Struts 2.3.30 GA
Hi Christoph, Thanks for your detailed explanation, even though its a huge change for application to move from both slf4j and log4j1 to Log4j2, lets assume we moved all to Log4j2 but if the underlying application server eg: Jboss or wildfly have its own wrapper implementation for their logging with log4j1, which will print application generated log using stdout (This is what we have noticed after struts2 upgrade). Lets assume we turned off logging subsystem from Jboss and used Log4js log4j2.xml which gives less flexibility (changing threshold on the fly) wrt logging in different environment when we compare to jboss one. These all are our concern, we really doubt upgrading struts2, if log is directing to stdout. Please let us know if anyone have any thought regarding this or anyone successfully upgraded without stdout logging in Wildfly or Jboss 6.

Re: [ANN] Apache Struts 2.3.30 GA
I'm not sure about bridging log4j1 to log4j2 gives us any benefit from enduser point of view, and most the people were using slf4j and log4j 1 for sure, with the addition of log4j2 the chain is getting complex for a simple logging. Why can't struts2 can make a log wrapper around it based on the available logging lib?

Hi Emi, You’ll definitely need a log4j2.xml, and you may need to change the listeners and also omit some other log4j 1.0 libraries from your pom.
