[infinispan-dev] Issue posted for JBoss Logging and slf4j

[Jeff Ramsdale]

I've posted https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBLOGGING-65 to address an
issue I've run into converting to Infinispan 5.0.0.CR5. The issue
concerns the switch to JBoss Logging and its failure to support
log4j-over-slf4j, a jar provided by slf4j to adapt log4j events and
route them to slf4j.

JBoss Logging doesn't detect that org.apache.log4j.LogManager is
provided by the log4j-over-slf4j jar and selects the
Log4jLoggerProvider instead of the Slf4jLoggerProvider.

I still haven't nailed down what's going on with logging in Infinispan
5.0.0 but I'm not getting any logging output and have run into several
issues. See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1177 as well (it
seems Maven 3 is required to build Infinispan 5?). I have concerns
that folks converting from 4.x will have issues as I have and wanted
to raise a red flag before release. Anybody else seeing a degradation
in logging behavior?
