Daisuke Baba commented on LOG4J2-462:
-------------------------------------
Indeed, what I did seems to be a little bit tricky. Let me explain.
I'm running my app on the Tomcat7. And I wrote a class to initialize Log4J2
with a specified file within ServletContextListener#contextInitialized().
In the Log4J2 initialization class, I wrote the code like this:
{code:java}
// context => a ServletContext object
String log4j2File = context.getInitParameter("...");
final URI log4j2FileURI = log4j2File.toURI();
LoggerContext ctx = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
ctx.setConfigLocation(log4j2FileURI);
ctx.reconfigure();
{code}
Note that I used reflection in order to manipulate
{{org.apache.logging.log4j.*}} classes because I'd like to inject the log4j2
dependency dynamically rather than statically for our specific reason.
I'm also enabling asynchronous logging by providing
{{-DLog4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector}}
option to the Tomcat startup shell.
SLF4J is also included in my app. So I import the following library as well.
{code:xml}
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta9</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-462
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
> Environment: java version "1.6.0_65"
> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
> Reporter: Daisuke Baba
>
> I found an issue when enabling asynchronous appenders with
> `-DLog4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector`
> and I also got a workaround to fix it.
> Note that I invoke LogContext.setConfigLocation() then
> LogContext.reconfigure() in order to apply log4j2.xml programatically.
> 1. Stacktrace ... See the bottom of the Description as it is a large portion.
> 2. Workaround
> Just to get rid of toString() at line 123 from the following snippet:
> {code:title=2.0-beta-9.org.apache.logging.log4j.core.pattern.LevelPatternConverter.java|borderStyle=solid}
> 122 public void format(final LogEvent event, final StringBuilder output) {
> 123 output.append(levelMap == null ? event.getLevel().toString() :
> levelMap.get(event.getLevel()));
> 124 }
> {code}
> The workaround is as follows:
> {code:title=MyWorkaround|borderStyle=solid}
> 122 public void format(final LogEvent event, final StringBuilder output) {
> 123 output.append(levelMap == null ? event.getLevel() :
> levelMap.get(event.getLevel()));
> 124 }
> {code}
> 3. Log4j2.xml
> {code:title=log4j2.xml snip|borderStyle=solid}
> <RollingRandomAccessFile name="MySizeRollingLog"
> fileName="foo.log"
> filePattern="foo-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.gz">
> <PatternLayout
> pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS z} %-5p
> [%t] (%F:%L) - [server($${sys:something})]-[%X{Something}]-%m%n" />
> <Policies>
> <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1"
> modulate="true" />
> <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="1000KB" />
> </Policies>
> <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="3" />
> </RollingRandomAccessFile>
> {code}
> I'm not sure why event.getLevel() was null but the workaround works for me.
