[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBLOGGING-95) Add Logger/LoggerProvider to support new Log4j 2 to improve performance

Fri Jun 7 14:40:54 EDT 2013

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBLOGGING-95?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12780305#comment-12780305 ] 

Nicholas Williams commented on JBLOGGING-95:
--------------------------------------------

...that's not how Java works. They are absolutely in the same package, and it will absolutely work.

Log4j 2 does exactly what I'm describing to support SLF4J:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/logging/log4j/log4j2/trunk/slf4j-impl/src/main/java/org/

My comment wasn't asking "will it work," because I know absolutely that it will. My comment was asking whether it was acceptable to the dev team here to have code in JBoss Logging (a single class) that was in the {{org.apache.logging.log4j.spi}} package.

> The new Log4j 2 project will be released soon. It has major improvements over Log4j and Logback. Currently, JBoss Logging can log to Log4j 2 indirectly by way of SLF4J (if the log4j-slf4j artifact is on the classpath) or the Log4j 1.2 API (if the log4j-1.2-api artifact is on the classpath and when JBLOGGING-94 is fixed). However, performance would be improved if JBoss Logging could log directly to the Log4j 2 API.
> Looks like we just need a new {{Log4j2Logger}} and {{Log4j2LoggerProvider}}. I'll try to submit a pull request in the next few weeks. I'm currently working on other tasks in Log4j 2.
