Hi there,
First of all, sorry about my poor english. I hope you'll understand this
email... and this is the right way to do this...
I would try to explain in 2 minutes to what I think it could be a good
improvement for the amazing log4j2 library...(in case it doesn't already
exist...)
I'm developing a service (based on a J2EE web server and an App) and I've been
working with log4j v2 intensively last days using it in a J2EE project.
Now I'm trying to upgrade the log4j v1 I used in the app to v2, and I would
like to use a similar log4j2.xml file I used on the web server.
I've been unable to use log4j2 in the App in the same way I use it in the web
server (probably because its a servlet 3.0 and it uses
Log4jServletContextListener and Log4jServletFilter...).There, you just need to
use LogManager.getLogger ("foo") to load the foo logger described in the
log4j2.xml, and everything is quite easy...
But as I said, I think I'm not able to load the log4j2.xml on Android
environment (and I put the file in every directory :-)... and when I call
LogManager.getLogger ("foo") everything explodes (it raises and exception...)
I've read the manual, I looked into the API, I searched into all kind of
forums, ... but I've just found a lot of people in the same situation and I
think I'm looking for something that doesn't exist...
In the situation I describe, I think the typical solution is to configure
everything from scratch programatically... but it will be complex and difficult
to do and manage...
I think the best solution in this case would be to provide the log4j2.xml
information directly into a String... (instead putting the file in a concrete
place and wait for the lib to find it, it would be great to be able to give it
directly the content of the file into a String and use this alternative when
there's no way to load the file...
I've found a lot of people trying to put the file here and there looking for
the lib to find it when it looks easier to send the configuration information
direcly into a String variable...
Does it have any sense for you?Does this already exist? is there a way to do it
using what already exists?
Thank you very much in advanceKindest regards
