| <div class="section"><h2>Migration from Log4j 1.x<a name="Migration_from_Log4j_1.x"></a></h2> |
| <a name="The_Log4j_1.x_bridge"></a> |
| <div class="section"><h3>The Log4j 1.x bridge<a name="The_Log4j_1.x_bridge"></a></h3> |
| <p> |
| Perhaps the simplest way to convert to using Log4j 2 is to replace the log4j 1.x jar file with |
| Log4j 2's log4j12-api jar. However, to use this successfully applications must meet the |
| following requirements: |
| </p><ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> |
| <li>They must not access methods and classes internal to the Log4j 1.x implementation such |
| as Appenders, LoggerRepository or Logger's callAppenders method.</li> |
| <li>They must not programmatically configure Log4j.</li> |
| <li>They must not be configuring by calling DomConfigurator or the PropertiesConfigurator.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| </div> |
| <div class="section"><h3>Converting to the Log4j 2 API<a name="Converting_to_the_Log4j_2_API"></a></h3> |
| <p>For the most part, converting from the Log4j 1.x API to Log4j 2.0 should be fairly simple. Many |
| of the log statements will require no modification. However, where necessary the following changes must be |
| made. |
| </p><ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> |
| <li>Calls to Logger.getLogger must be modified to LogManager.getLogger.</li> |
| <li>Calls to Logger.getRootLogger or LogManager.getRootLogger must be replaced woth |
| LogManager.getLogger("").</li> |
| <li>Calls to LogManager.getLogger that accept a LoggerFactory must remove the LoggerFactory and |
| use one of Log4j 2's other extension mechanisms.</li> |
| <li>Calls to logger.setLevel or similar methods are not supported in the API. Applications |
| should remove these. Equivalent functionality is provided in the Log4j 2 implementation |
| classes but may leave the application susceptible to changes in Log4j 2 internals.</li> |
| <li>The Log4j 2 API methods accept String messages instead of Objects. Applications that |
| wish to log Objects should either wrap the Object in an ObjectMessage or create a |
| custom Message for the Object.</li> |
| <li>Where appropriate, applications should convert to use parameterized messages instead of |
| String concatenation.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| </div> |
| <div class="section"><h3>Configuration<a name="Configuration"></a></h3> |
| <p> |
| Although the Log4j 2 configuration syntax is different than that of Log4j 1.x, most, if not all, of |
| the same functionality is available. Below are the example configurations for Log4j 1.x and their |
| counterparts in Log4j 2. |
