Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-321:
------------------------------------
About the Log4jContextSelector, is it possible to make this configurable from
the config file?
This is the order in which relevant objects are instantiated:
LogManager (static block): instantiates a LoggerContextFactory implementation.
Log4jContextFactory is the default (core) implementation.
In the Log4jContextFactory constructor the ContextSelector is instantiated.
(based on the value of system property "Log4jContextSelector" or default
ClassLoaderContextSelector).
All Log4jContextFactory#getContext methods delegate to the selector.
The first time a LogContext is returned, the Log4jContextFactory will call
LogContext#start on it, which will trigger a reconfiguration (and reads the
config file).
This may be more difficult than I thought...
Thoughts?
> Provide configuration alternative to system properties

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta8
> Reporter: Remko Popma
> Fix For: 2.0-beta9
>
>
> Some components behaviour cannot be configured in the configuration file but
> only with System properties. There is a strong preference to ensure all
> behaviour can be configured in the configuration file.
> Properties that can be used to configure AsyncLoggers when all loggers are
> Async:
> *
> Log4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector
> * AsyncLogger.ExceptionHandler
> * AsyncLogger.RingBufferSize
> * AsyncLogger.WaitStrategy
> * log4j.Clock - currently only used for timestamping RingBufferLogEvents.
> Question: Should all LogEvents use this clock?
> The following system properties can be used to configure mixed Async Loggers:
> * AsyncLoggerConfig.ExceptionHandler
> * AsyncLoggerConfig.RingBufferSize
> * AsyncLoggerConfig.WaitStrategy
> For JMX there is only the one "disable" property, in the mailing list it was
> suggested to make this into an element rather than an attribute to
> future-proof it.
