Jens Deppe commented on GEODE-189:
----------------------------------
Presumably this would still allow overriding with a {{log4j.configurationFile}}
system property?
> 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
> Fix For: 1.0.0-incubating
>
>
> 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.
