I have finally created a separate sandbox for our app server to test porting from log4j1 to 2.
The first thing I run into? Just this issue! ;) We have code like this: Logger.getRootLogger().getAllAppenders() Why? Because the server looks for the log file (if any) so that it can return its tail to our client side admin console. I do not care if the functionality is part of the API, as long as it is in the Core. We have custom appenders so we are tied to Log4j (version 1 ATM). So what's a clean way to get this? I see: - API: org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.getContext() but org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.LoggerContext does not surface appenders. - Core: org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Logger.getAppenders() So I think I have a solution: Map<String, Appender> appenders = ((org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Logger) LogManager.getRootLogger()).getAppenders(); Where LogManager is in org.apache.logging.log4j.
