http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280 Summary: missing constructor in org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout Product: SLF4J Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: blocker Priority: P1 Component: log4j-over-slf4j AssignedTo: slf4j-dev@qos.ch ReportedBy: thomas.mortagne@gmail.com It's in version 1.7.2 (can't find it in the list). When using default org.apache.velocity.app.VelocityEngine (Velocity 1.7) it's trying to create a new PatternLayout in it's LOG4J logger but it's using the constructor which takes a String and this constructor is not provider by log4j-over-slf4j. It used to "work" well when there was no PatternLayout at all because Velocity catch NoClassDefFoundError but it does not expect a NoSuchMethodError. The workaround (and what should be done anyway) is to provide a SLF4J based custom logger to Velocity. But still it would be nice to mimic a bit better log4j for this use case. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
