Using static initialization of two log4j properties on top of my main application.
static { System.setProperty("Log4jContextSelector", "org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector"); System.setProperty("log4j.configurationFactory", "com.company.utils.LoggingConfigurationFactory"); } private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MyApplication.class); Seems I have to define Log4jContextSelector on the command line, otherwise Log4j2 does not use Async logging. -DLog4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector I can add this to maven configuration so users don't have to think about this when they are running the application, but I also don't want developers to have to manually have to add this property in IDE or command line. Will end up with developers who might get different performance than our users when they develop, test and debug the application. /Sverre --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-user-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-user-h...@logging.apache.org
