Logback+Swing in small tool

I need to hack up a small tool. It should read a couple of files and convert them. Right now that works in my IDE. For the user, I'd like to add a small UI which simply shows the log output. Do you know of a ready-to-use Swing appender for logback? Or something which redirects System.out to a little UI with nothing more than a text fiel...

Suppress all Logback output to console?

How can I configure Logback to suppress all of its output to the console (standard output)? In particular, I wish to suppress (or redirect) Logback's own log messages such as the following: 16:50:25,814 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback-test.xml] 16:50:25,814 |-INFO in ch.qos.log...

Wrapping the slf4j API

I want to retrofit slf4j with Logback into a legacy application. Good thing is, the legacy application has its own logging framework. So all I had to do is alter the logging framework to log to slf4j instead of log4j. It worked like a dream. I was happy, until I noticed the location Logback logged for each and every log event: Logger.j...

Slf4j and logback in an eclipse PDE project?

I have added slf4j 1.6.1, logback-core-0.9.24.jar, and logback-classic-0.9.24.jar to my target platform and added them as a dependency in the MANIFEST file in a plug-in project. In the Activator I do: import org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator; import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFac...

Logging framework incompatibility

I'm building a small Java app and hoping to use logback for logging. My app has a dependency on an older project that does its logging via org.apache.commons | com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging | 1.1.1 ...so my plan was to use org.slf4j | jcl-over-slf4j | 1.5.6 ...to redirect the JCL logging to org.slf4j | slf4j-api ...

Logback sometimes does not write to the log file, and sometimes does not roll the log file

Sometimes when I launch my java application, logback refuses to write anything to my logfile. Sometimes it also refuses to roll the logfile at midnight (or at the first logging event after midnight), which results in logging events being lost to the void. When i look at my main log file when logbacks has failed to roll the log, it will h...

How to set up DBAppender with log4j in JBoss5?

I would like to be able to set up my clustered JBoss5 instances to write log4j messages to a database. I am trying to use a DBAppender (rather than a JDBCAppender, for the reasons given in this question). Has anyone done this? As of now, I've added an <appender> tag to jboss-log4j.xml and put the logback-classic-0.9.17.jar file in every...

Do I need to flush events when shutting down using logback?

We are migrating to logback from log4j for several web apps. In the shutdown of our application we currently call: org.apache.log4j.LogManager.shutdown(); Which is supposed to flush all async logging and close all external resources (files, sockets). Is there something similar in logback or does it somehow flush automatically on shu...

Run Logback in Debug

I've recently switched from log4j to logback and am wondering if there is an easy way to run logback in debug mode, similar to log4j's log4j.debug property. I need to see where it is picking up my logback.xml from. The docs mention using a StatusPrinter to print out logback's internal status, but that would require code changes. ...

Setting Logback Appender path programmatically

I'm trying to set Logback appender path programmatically. (RollingFileAppender with FixedWindowRollingPolicy to be exact) I'm doing this because I want to enable my users to set the log path in a preference dialog (Eclipse RCP) I've tried something like this, but I doesn't change the log path from what's defined in the configuration fi...

How to change root logging level programmatically

I have the following logback.xml file: <configuration debug="true"> <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> <encoder> <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <root level="debug"> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> </root> </configuration> Now, u...

Java logback FileAppender file pattern

Hi!

How i can do it? ...

logback encoder pattern documentation

I've gone through all the documention of logback and I can't find anywhere the documentation to configure the encoder's pattern when logging, such as: <encoder> <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-4relative %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern> </encoder> I would like a table (like the one that log4j has) explaining the different options ...

Why calling LoggerFactory.getLogger(...) every time is not recommended?

Hi all, I've read tons of posts and documents (on this site and elsewhere) pointing that the recommended pattern for SFL4J logging is: public class MyClass { final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class); public void myMethod() { //do some stuff logger.debug("blah blah blah"); } } My...

Logback stops logging after configuration reload

We are evaluating the use of Logback in a multi-server Weblogic environment. On one machine we have two Weblogic server instances (basically two separate JVM processes) running on a same Weblogic domain. The servers log to the same log file (application.log). The Logback configuration (logback.xml) is the same for both servers (shown bel...

Issues replacing Log4j with LogBack, log4j-over-slf4j.jar shortcomings

So I've been porting some of our services to use Logback over log4j and I've been using the log4j-over-slf4j jar to spoof log4j for our legacy dependencies. The only issue is log4j-over-slf4j doesn't implement many of the classes of log4j so I'm seeing a decent few class not found exceptions from dependent jars. How have people got aroun...

logback in spring-OSGI with pax-runner

Hi, We are running OSGI bundles with pax-runner. We are logging using logback over slf4j. The problem is logback tries to look for logback.xml in classpath, but in pax-runner where should I place logback.xml so that pax-runner configure logback accordingly? I have tried with JoranConfigurator to load logback.xml which is included in b...
