How to disable Serialized plugin listing files on classpath - Initialization slowness

2014-09-04 Thread Kamal C
Hi During my testing Log4j 2 takes considerable amount of time to initialize. In my log4j2.XML, i have around 40 Rolling file appenders and a console appender. It took 22-25 seconds to initialize all of them. I have seen them by turning on TRACE level logs. I had gone through Log4j2 docs, they sai

I think it makes sense to log to ServletContext.log() if something goes wrong, but not otherwise. Shouldn't we consider ServletContext.log() as deprecated, and Log4j as the replacement for it? On Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 6:07 PM, Gary Gregory wrote: > Should be log only if some condition is met? L

Perhaps we should log to StatusLogger rather than to ServletContext.log()? I mean, we even have an appender that goes to the ServletContext log, so it might be a better idea to just use the StatusLogger as usual (unless an error occurs?). On 4 September 2014 11:07, Gary Gregory wrote: > Should

Log4jServletContainerInitializer, Log4jServletContextListener, Log4jServletFilter and Log4jWebInitializerImpl log some stuff using ServletContext.log() at startup and shutdown. Why? I find this logging noisy when done when everything works fine. -- Mikael Ståldal Chief Software Architect *Appear
