Hi, This poll is to investigate how you currently do or would like to do logging with Solr when deploying solr.war to a SEPARATE java application server (such as Tomcat, Resin etc) outside of the bundled "solr/example". For background on how things work in Solr now, see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrLogging and for more info on the SLF4J framework, see http://www.slf4j.org/manual.html
Please tick one of the options below with an [X]: [ ] I always use the JDK logging as bundled in solr.war, that's perfect [ ] I sometimes use log4j or another framework and am happy with re-packaging solr.war [ ] Give me solr.war WITHOUT an slf4j logger binding, so I can choose at deploy time [ ] Let me choose whether to bundle a binding or not at build time, using an ANT option [ ] What's wrong with the "solr/example" Jetty? I never run Solr elsewhere! [ ] What? Solr can do logging? How cool! Note that NOT bundling a logger binding with solr.war means defaulting to the NOP logger after outputting these lines to stderr: SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder". SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com
