Hi Sarah, Just wanted to note that I'm not aware of anyone who has tried updating DSpace 6.x (or any prior release) to log4j v2. As I initially noted in this log4j summary email (https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/QR59bS4nIT0/m/Ze2hyOhhAgAJ), I believe this upgrade would be extremely complex (and I'm not even sure if it's possible).
Unfortunately, most of the other dependencies which DSpace 6.x (and 5.x/4.x or any prior release) use all also rely on log4j v1 (especially Solr) . Attempting to upgrade DSpace 6.x to log4j v2 therefore may also require finding ways to upgrade or patch *all other dependencies which also rely on log4j v1*....and that likely would be a massive undertaking (possibly similar effort to a new major release of DSpace). This is why I recommend that anyone who wants to be on log4j v2 please consider upgrading to DSpace 7.x in the near future (version 7.2 is right around the corner & due on Feb 7). It is not always easy (or even possible) to update dependencies in the DSpace 6.x/5.x platforms, as we are sometimes blocked / or hampered by the age of the User Interface technologies (especially Apache Cocoon for XMLUI) and other core dependencies (older Solr, Spring technologies, etc.) If you or anyone else has further questions on this, let us know on this list, Tim On Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at 12:42:34 PM UTC-6 [email protected] wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm aware that DSpace 6.x is not going to get a patch that would allow > end-users to upgrade to Log4Jv2, but I was wondering whether anyone else is > likely to be working on this? > > Thanks, > > Sarah > -- All messages to this mailing list should adhere to the Code of Conduct: https://www.lyrasis.org/about/Pages/Code-of-Conduct.aspx --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
