Mihai Nita created LOG4J2-564: --------------------------------- Summary: The name of the SLF4JLogger implementation should point to Log4j 2 Key: LOG4J2-564 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-564 Project: Log4j 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: SLF4J Bridge Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1 Environment: All (tried on Ubuntu 12 x64, Windows 7 x64, Mac OS X Maverick) Reporter: Mihai Nita Priority: Critical
The name of org.slf4j.impl.SLF4JLogger should indicate somehow that we are dealing with Log4j 2. Right now the class is org.slf4j.impl.SLF4JLogger These are the names from other bindings: nop : org.slf4j.helpers.NOPLogger simple : org.slf4j.impl.SimpleLogger jdk : org.slf4j.impl.JDK14LoggerAdapter jcl : org.slf4j.impl.JCLLoggerAdapter log4j : org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter logback : ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger Every one of them indicates what is the binding for, in the class name (all slf4j bindings), or as part of package name (logback). Use case: "hook" into the functionality of the logger under slf4j to control stuff not accessible through slf4j. Example: http://code.google.com/p/okapi/source/browse/#git%2Fapplications%2Frainbow%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fnet%2Fsf%2Fokapi%2Fapplications%2Frainbow%2Flogger Code to reproduce this: ========= import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; public class LogHandlerFactory { static public void main(String [] args) { Logger localLogger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LogHandlerFactory.class); String realLogger = localLogger.getClass().getName(); System.out.printf("%-8s: %s%n", args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "???", realLogger); } } ========= Thank you, Mihai -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
