    Good content ! One thing I'd like to add here is SLF4j vs log4j is that placeholder { } in SLF4j reduces lot of string concatenation in the code and also avoids creation of String Object, thereby reducing the memory requirements , and this could be handled by if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()) clause in log4j style.

    Hello Kaushik, kudos on the nice presentation. For your information, log4j predates JDK 1.4 and hence java.util.logging by 3 or 4 years. Thus, the beginning of the presentation where log4j is shown as an improvement upon java.util.logging is historically inaccurate.

    One of the features I always look for is to change the log level on the fly without restarting the app server. In production, you can keep the log level at severe, but if there is an issue and if you need to turn it to finer level, you cannot do that without restarting the server. Most of the app servers, use simple JDK, but allows to change log level on the fly. So if you don't need the bells and whistles, stick with OOTB.

    The history part was basically wrong: Java util logging came AFTER log4j. Basically log4j was the first widely adopted logging framework in Java, and later Java borrowed the idea (hierarchical logger, log level, appender/handler) and make up its own logging framework (java.util.logging) The part for log4j2 was wrong too: right slf4j was developed as a facade. And logback was developed as a “native” implementation for slf4j almost at the same time slf4j was introduced (they are from the same guy anyway, which is the original author of log4j) Log4j2 is basically the same: it contains the API part (which is basically what slf4j) and implementation (just like logback). Which means you can use log4j2 API and use slf4j/logback as backend.

  • @chrisfreel
    @chrisfreel2 жыл бұрын

    I should also add that both past experience and recent events suggest to me that no one should use log4j2. If you understand the recent security problems you'd have to conclude that the team involved didn't understand that it was a bad idea to (BY DEFAULT) scan log messages looking for special char sequences and then potentially download and execute remote code based on it. This suggests they don't understand basic security or performance concepts, but also that they don't know that most people won't want all kinds of random and obscure features thrown into their production system, where it would take a lengthy read of docs and/or code to even know what you're getting!

    I think fine is not that FINE the debugger level, but it means the granular logging, which means every single piece of information will be logged when logging level is fine. It contains more sensitive information's and we normally use it when debug or info level logs are not worth analysis.

    Logback, SLF4J and Log4j2 are Java logging frameworks. Logback is an implementation with a facade API, SLF4J is a facade for various logging platforms, and Log4j2 provides both a facade API and an implementation. They all aim to provide a standardized API for logging in Java, allowing flexibility in how you choose to actually implement logging.

    1:30 java comes with logging class, java.util.logging Logger.getLogger(someClass) Has log levels: -info -severe -fine Handlers: how to handle logging requests. Console handler, file handler etc People didn’t like the default java logger, because developers are little bitches and so logging libraries were created. 3:30 Log4J, has a Logger class like the default logger and log levels: -info -debug -warn -error Instead of handlers, log4j has appeasers: - file appender - console appender - rolling file - jdbc - smtp - jms 4:50 to standardize the logging api we have Apache commons logging as well as slf4j. These are called facade libraries, they provide an interface but use other libraries to do the actual logging 6:15 log4j successors 6:30 why use sl4j? Done thanks
