Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-223: ------------------------------------ See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/architecture.html. Ceki does a good job of explaining the Logback LoggerContext and ContextSelector in his documentation. In particular look at http://logback.qos.ch/manual/loggingSeparation.html#tamingStaticRefs. The LoggerContext is the "anchor point" for all the logging. It references the configuration. The ClassLoaderContextSelector attempts to solve the problem Ceki described in the Taming Static Refs section. It creates LoggerContexts based on the ClassLoader that loaded the caller to getLogger. Thus, assuming the Log4j jars are on the Tomcat classpath, loggers should be able to be declared as static and still be cleaned up properly. I made this ContextSelector the default to insure that it would get exposure and testing. I'm suspecting however, that there is something that isn't being accounted for. > IllegalStateException thrown during Tomcat shutdown > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-223 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-223 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta5 > Reporter: Ralph Goers > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 2.0-beta7 > > Attachments: log4j-223.war > > > {noformat}Apr 25, 2013 3:03:33 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer > await > INFO: A valid shutdown command was received via the shutdown port.
