Andre Bogus commented on LOG4J2-392: ------------------------------------ Hi again, I finally managed to debug this thing. Interestingly, the logger in my example is not an org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLogger, as I would have expected, but a plain org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Logger. Despite my configuration having not a single synchronous <logger> or <root> entry, the context isn't even an AsyncLoggerContext. The reason appears to be that in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.impl.Log4jContextFactory.<init>, in line 44, the resulting LOG4J_CONTEXT_SELECTOR property (which refers to the "Log4jContextSelector" system property) is null, therefore the selector will be instantiated as a ClassLoaderContextSelector, which has absolutely no ties to the async package. Now I have two possible recourses: 1. Ask my colleagues to add static { System.setProperty("Log4jContextSelector", "org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector"); } to their classes 2. Change the ClassLoaderContextSelector to somehow distinguish between synchronous and asynchronous LoggerContexts. The first one is only a viable workaround if there are only asynchronous loggers. I am unsure how to implement the second. Maybe someone more competent than me in Log4j2 development could have a look? :-) Regards, Andre > Intermittent errors with appenders > ---------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-392 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-392 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Appenders > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta8, 2.0-beta9 > Environment: Windows 7 SP1 64bit > Reporter: ilynaf > Attachments: AppenderOverwhelmer.java, Log4J2.zip, log4j2.xml > > > I intermittently receive following errors after upgrading to beta 8. > EVERYTHING was working well with beta 6: > * 1st error (happens most frequently) > 2013-09-05 10:48:37,722 ERROR Attempted to append to non-started appender > LogFile > * 2nd error: > 2013-09-05 10:49:38,268 ERROR Attempted to append to non-started appender > LogFile > 2013-09-05 10:49:38,268 ERROR Unable to write to stream > log/ui-selenium-tests.log for appender LogFile > 2013-09-05 10:49:38,269 ERROR An exception occurred processing Appender > LogFile org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.AppenderRuntimeException: > Error writing to RandomAccessFile log/ui-selenium-tests.log > at > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.rolling.FastRollingFileManager.flush(FastRollingFileManager.java:108) > at > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.rolling.FastRollingFileManager.write(FastRollingFileManager.java:89) > at > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.OutputStreamManager.write(OutputStreamManager.java:129) > at > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.AbstractOutputStreamAppender.append(AbstractOutputStreamAppender.java:115) > at > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.FastRollingFileAppender.append(FastRollingFileAppender.java:97) > at > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.AppenderControl.callAppender(AppenderControl.java:102) > at > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.AsyncAppender$AsyncThread.run(AsyncAppender.java:228) > Caused by: java.io.IOException: Write error > at java.io.RandomAccessFile.writeBytes(Native Method) > at java.io.RandomAccessFile.write(Unknown Source) > at > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.rolling.FastRollingFileManager.flush(FastRollingFileManager.java:105) > ... 6 more -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
