What can we do to educate and publicize the fact that Log4j 2 is an API too?

Re: Education

Maybe renaming log4-core to log4j-impl would help, but we make that
distinction on the site in some places already. We should not do that until
a major version change though since Maven coords should be changed as well.

Then the confusion might be stemming from that along with the fact that
log4j-api and log4j-core are both called "log4j".

It more or less was. There was no separation of the API from the impl.

Plus log4j-api has more features than slf4j-api out of the box without
requiring additional impl support to handle. Some of these APIs could be
added to slf4j-api, of course, though they're not there yet.

To be honest, I never wanted to promote the idea of people coding to the Log4j 2 API and then using something else.  It is supported only because we have to.

As to Gary’s point, I never wanted Logger.setLevel() because it is really requires that a LoggerConfig be created behind the scene, if it doesn’t exist already, in order to change the level.  I don’t think simple users should be able to affect the logging configuration.

Re: Education

Posted by Mikael Ståldal <mi...@magine.com>.
Currently it might be necessary to have an abstraction API in some cases,
but I don't like the idea of promoting Log4J 2 as the best logging
abstraction API. We should promote Log4J 2 as the best complete logging
solution for the JVM.

I see the possibility to plug in a different impl into log4j-api as a
curious side effect, not a main feature.

Re: Education

But we do provide an abstraction API, and in fact some of the design in has
a bit of a LCD feel to it. For example, we do not have a Logger.setLevel()
API.

For good or bad, some folks DO want an abstracted logging API, and this is
required to get a large stack of 3rd party components working together WRT
logging.

Re: Education

Posted by Mikael Ståldal <mi...@magine.com>.
I think the idea of having an abstraction API for different logging
implementation is inherently bad. Both commons-logging and SLF4J have
probably created more problems than they have solved.

One reason I like Log4J 2 is that it doesn't claim to be an abstraction
API, and I see it as a way to eventually get out of this mess. It have
plugins (appenders, layouts, etc.) though, and that is good, that's where
the abstraction layer should be. I hope that one day people will stop using
commons-logging / SLF4J and use Log4J 2 directly instead.

So I am one of the people who "think that log4j-api isn't analogous to
slf4j-api where log4j-core is like logback", and I like it that way.

However, it is important to remember that SLF4J was created before Logback and was meant to be a new abstraction API. You can see that right here in the archives for this mailing list.  

OTOH, Log4j 2’s API was created so that “normal” users would be able to know what was safe to code against and what wasn’t.  Log4j 1 had lots of problems because users were coding against pretty much all the components and expecting them to remain compatible.

In the end, the result is similar. You can use either API and bind with another implementation, however binding with the “targeted” backend is still more efficient.

Because some people think that log4j-api isn't analogous to slf4j-api where
log4j-core is like logback. It's a naming confusion I'd guess.
