Unexpected problem with logback
by Vicente Ferrer 14 Sep '07

Hi, I´m an habitual user of log4j and I´m trying to port my application to logback. The first impression of this new tool was very good; the pluggin for Eclipse IDE has a good apparience. But I´m experiencing a little worrisomely problem: some logging lines cause the Eclipse plugin stops to write the rest of logging lines. If I activate a ConsoleAppender, I can view the rest of the logging lines at the standard console, but the Eclipse plugins don´t show that lines. The line causing the Eclipse plugin stops to work is: Method[] methods = clazz.getDeclaredMethods(); log.debug("method: {}", methods[i]); I´ve seen an error on the Error Log eclipse´s view saying that java.lang.reflect.Method is not Serializable, and the plugin do not show the rest of the logging lines. I´ve experimented similar error when I try to log a message line that contains an own object such as a bean. In this case, the error is a ClassNotFoundError because of the logback eclipse plugin can´t find the bean class. Do you think these are two bugs of the plugin? How do you think I can solve that problems?

Are there any plans for a logback OSGi bundle in the foreseeable future? ;-)

NDC?
by Mark Libucha 12 Sep '07

Hi there, Considering a switch from log4j to logback... I use log4j's NDC functionality in order to be able to easily trace a webapp request through all levels of my code with minimal effort. So, why didn't NDC make it into logback, and what alternatives do I have for replacing NDC if I do switch to logback? Thanks! Mark

logback for log4j users?
by Kendall Shaw 06 Sep '07

I'm sorry if I've missed it, but it would be convenient if there was a guide for transitioning to logback for log4j users, i.e. something less detailed than the manual or the introduction describing the changes you have to make. Kendall

Re: [logback-user] Interest in JDK 1.4 builds?
by Arthur Blake 06 Sep '07

I personally hate having to support such an old JDK version, and I have tried to use the newer JDKs when possible. That being said, a client of one of my clients is a super large company that can throw their weight around, and they refuse to get off JDK 1.4 for some reason. (perceived stability I guess.) I know of another large banking company that has just made the move from JDK 1.3 to 1.4 (no joke.) It's up to you... but if you maintain active JDK 1.4 compatibility, it can only help to get Logback used by a wider audience. I also was thinking about using Logback on one of the above projects where I'm stuck on JDK 1.4, and the less support you have for it, the less inclined I would be to go down that route. The way I approach this on log4jdbc is to actually have two source trees (one for jdk1.4 & jdk 1.5/ jdbc 3 and one for jdk 1.6 & jdk 1.7 / jdbc 4.) This is a pain, but I can get away with it because it's such a small library. In my case it's a little bit different, but same principle. If I were to suddenly drop support for JDBC 3, maybe I'm wrong, but I think that almost nobody would use log4jdbc, because there is hardly any industry support for JDBC 4 yet at this point. By the way, "retroweaver" is a new one for me-- is it as good as/the same as the "retrotranslater" that is used for the same purpose? ----- Original Message ---- From: Ceki Gulcu <listid(a)qos.ch> To: logback-user(a)qos.ch Sent: Thursday, September 6, 2007 1:29:50 PM Subject: [logback-user] Interest in JDK 1.4 builds? Hello all, Logback includes retro-weaver generated jars for JDK 1.4. However, there seems to be little interest in these JDK 1.4 jars. Calling retro-weaver increases logback's build time by a few seconds -- seconds in which we can do more productive things. So, is there any interest in the JDK 1.4 build of logback? If not, I intend to remove JDK 1.4 support in logback for the next release.
