Joachim Durchholz commented on SLF4J-192:
-----------------------------------------
You have a backend dependency anyway. At least you have a logback.xml (or
whatever configuration file you use).
Whatever has this file - main program, application container, whatever - is
also the right place to close logging resources.
No facade is perfect - you need to set it up and tear it down somewhere. The
point of a facade is not to remove all traces, it is to concentrate them in a
single place where it is easy to control.
> Need ability to shutdown loggers and flush appenders

> Key: SLF4J-192
> URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-192
> Project: SLF4J
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core API
> Affects Versions: 1.6.x
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Michael Schall
> Assignee: SLF4J developers list
>
> There needs to be a way to shutdown logging and flush async appenders so when
> a process is closing, all log events are written before the process is closed.
> Should ILoggerFactory have a shutdown or stop method? It could shutdown
> whatever logging back end I'm using?
> For log4j it would call -
> org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository().shutdown();
> For logback it would call - loggerContext.stop()
> Other back ends - ???
> This is required to allow me to not reference logging back ends explicitly in
> my code to shutdown successfully without losing events.
> Discussion about this is happening on the user list at -
> http://www.qos.ch/pipermail/logback-user/2010-September/001816.html
