-------------------------------
Summary: Configure log4j2 on classpath instead of with system
property
Key: GEODE-189
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-189
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.0.0-incubating
Reporter: Kirk Lund
Assignee: Kirk Lund
This change is necessary for GEODE-77. It's easier to complete on its own
feature branch and then be cherry-picked over to feature/GEODE-77.
Geode configures Log4J2 using a system property, however, if a configuration
file is already found on the classpath then it will defer configuration to that
file. The new JGroups jar contains a log4j2.xml config file in its root, so
Log4J2 finds it on the classpath and always uses it instead of Geode's
log4j2-default.xml.
This change would involve moving Geode's log4j2-default.xml to the root of the
gemfire-core jar file and rename it to log4j2.xml. The gemfire-core jar would
then be placed earlier on the classpath than the jgroups jar so that the
default configuration of Geode prefers the one in the gemfire-core jar.
