--- Comment #3 from Piotr P. Karwasz <pkarw...@apache.org> --- Hi Mark, (In reply to Mark Thomas from comment #2) > The description in comment #1 of how the handlers are configured does not > match what I see with the current code. I was referring to this snippet of code, that deals with the case, where the application's classloader does not contain a `logging.properties` resource: if (is == null) { // Retrieve the root logger of the parent classloader instead ClassLoader current = classLoader.getParent(); ClassLoaderLogInfo info = null; while (current != null && info == null) { info = getClassLoaderInfo(current); current = current.getParent(); } if (info != null) { localRootLogger.setParent(info.rootNode.logger); } } https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/bb81a2cf7abf2384e73bdac0313731b8963b9b66/java/org/apache/juli/ClassLoaderLogManager.java#L496 I believe that the reporter's main problem isn't having multiple loggers with the same name, but having a root logger that has a parent. That is the reason the code that removes all root handlers and replaces them with a Log4jBridgeHandler does not work: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3646 We can probably greatly reduce the `if` clause above, by ensuring that a `logging.properties` file is always found. There are however implications to such a change: Spring Boot uses heuristic to decide whether or not install a Slf4jBridgeHandler. IIRC the current version checks if the root logger has a single Console handler. In the current Tomcat JULI version the root logger of a web app has no handlers, if we make the change above, it will have all the handlers from the standard Catalina `logging.properties`. https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/8933 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
