[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-3603) Provide a lightweight alternative to Spring's LoggingSystem

["Ralph Goers (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17607821#comment-17607821 ] 

Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3603:
-------------------------------------

I don't really understand this issue. The LoggingSystem only applies to SpringBoot, where Spring is building a full application for you. If you are not using Spring Boot then Spring uses Apache Commons Logging, not java.util.logging. We already support redirection for that.

What is this issue really proposing?

> While Spring Boot's [AbstractLoggingSystem|https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/api/org/springframework/boot/logging/AbstractLoggingSystem.html] gives a nice abstraction that allows to configure a logging system (backend + multiple APIs), applications that do not use Spring Boot might profit from a lightweight alternative.
> The DI system of the 3.x series should allow us to detect the logging backend present at runtime, configure the correct JUL redirection handler and provide a uniform configuration format for logger configuration. The format might actually be a subset of the Log4j2 configuration format.
