Log4j2 - combining .properties and .xml config files

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to know if it is planned to combine different logging configuration in the future, or if it is still possible today?

Example:
- Base logging configuration is a log4j2.xml from the classpath
- Logging could be extended by adding new loggers to the .properties files

Could this be a valid case in the future of log4j2 or is there a strict separation between .properties and .xml files? (or even properties and JSON files)

Thanks and greetings,
Christian

Re: [External] Log4j2 - combining .properties and .xml config files

Hi,

We are using hybris with log4j2 and in hybris we have to set log4j2.config.xml in order to use the xml configuration from log4j2.
I like to combine properties and xml config both in hybris. Do you have any ideas how to get this running?

Greetings

    I thought you were asking about composite configurations but I don’t see you trying to do that here.

Re: [External] Log4j2 - combining .properties and .xml config files

Posted by Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>.
I don’t understand what you are trying to do here. Why do you have both log4j2.configurationFile and log4j.configurationFile? Only one of them will take effect. What is log4j2.config.xml? Last I checked, Log4j2 doesn’t have a property with that name.

I thought you were asking about composite configurations but I don’t see you trying to do that here.

Re: [External] Re: Log4j2 - combining .properties and .xml config files

Posted by Fröstl, Christian <ch...@accenture.com>.
Unfortunately, I am not able to configure it. I tried the following configuration in our properties file:
log4j2.configurationFile=/<path-to-file>/log4j2.xml,/<path-to-file>/local-55.properties
log4j.configurationFile=/<path-to-file>/log4j2.xml,/<path-to-file>/local-55.properties

The log4j2.xml will only be used if I activate this parameter in the property file:
log4j2.config.xml=hybris-log4j2.xml

Both configurations are working correctly, if I just use it directly in the property file or if I activate the xml config with the log4j2.config.xml parameter.
Even if I only try to load the properties file, it will not be used. Instead, the default logging will be used.

Example:
log4j2.configurationFile=/path-to-file>/local-55.properties
log4j.configurationFile=/path-to-file>/local-55.properties

Greetings,
Christian
