Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-549: ------------------------------------ This solves the "how do I use log4j in solr" problem, but I think it sends solr down the wrong path. I really don't think we want to deal with configuring the logging internally. That is what the logging frameworks are supposed to do for us! Rather then taking this approach, I think we should just use SLF4J (http://www.slf4j.org/), it does what this patch does, but it is supported elsewhere and has more options ;) > Enable configurable logging (jul or log4j) > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: SOLR-549 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-549 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Henri Biestro > Attachments: solr-log4j.patch > > > java.util.logging does not allow to easily create a self-sufficient 'war' > with respect to logging configuration. > The java.util.logging.LogManager used by the application is always created by > the container and is thus only configurable through the container; > furthermore, if one already uses say log4j in a webapp that embeds Solr, it > does not even seem possible to re-route jul logging into log4j just by > configuration. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
