Luca Burgazzoli commented on LOG4J2-1094:
-----------------------------------------

I do not think that a call to LogManager.get*() in the main thread and before 
everything else could be offered as solution, it can be a temporary workaround 
but no more IMHO. 

I'd expect a logging system to never miss a message which in my opinion is more 
important that some extra work and synchronization on initialization.

> I wrote a very simple example which has a behaviour I do not expect:
> If I call LogManager.getLogger(..) from two threads, only one of the loggers 
> logs what I'd expect but if I add an additional call to 
> LogManager.getLogger(..) before the threads are started, I see what I'd 
> expect so it looks like there is a problem in multi threaded initialization.

> The code above will show:
> {noformat}
>     write thread-1
>     done thread-1 
>     write thread-2
>     [TEST] [INFO ] thread-2 - message
>     done thread-2
> {noformat}
> Any call to LogManager makes it succeed:
> {code}
>     LogManager.getContext(false);
>     th1.start();
>     th2.start();
>     th1.join();
>     th2.join();
> {code}
> New output:
> {noformat}
>     write thread-2
>     write thread-1
>     [TEST] [INFO ] thread-2 - message
>    done thread-2
>    [TEST] [INFO ] thread-1 - message
>    done thread-1
> {noformat}
> The funny thing is that the first thread to arrive is initialized with ERROR 
> level instead of the ALL that is given to root. In other words it seems that 
> the config has not loaded
