David Smiley commented on SOLR-3706:
------------------------------------
As long it's _also_ easy to handle an SLF4J-less war in Tomcat, then I think
it's fine too. Nonetheless this is going to be a new thing a deployer of Solr
needs to check the box in their checklist. It might be a good idea to have a
very early classloader check in SolrDispatchFilter that checks if SLF4J is
there and if not then gives you a very helpful message to remedy it -- i.e. you
need to place SLF4J jars in your app-server somewhere or re-pack the WAR with
them.
> Ship setup to log with log4j.

> Currently we default to java util logging and it's terrible in my opinion.
> *It's simple built in logger is a 2 line logger.
> *You have to jump through hoops to use your own custom formatter with jetty -
> either putting your class in the start.jar or other pain in the butt
> solutions.
> *It can't roll files by date out of the box.
> I'm sure there are more issues, but those are the ones annoying me now. We
> should switch to log4j - it's much nicer and it's easy to get a nice single
> line format and roll by date, etc.
> If someone wants to use JUL they still can - but at least users could start
> with something decent.
