Using logging framework with log4j2

[nappps]

Hi,
I'm using Armeria framework, and also know it contains logback for logging.
To use an application as a container in Cloudwatch, the monitoring service of WAS, I have to use the log in json format for parsing.
And in order to do that logback contlib library must be added and used, which has a security vulnerability and no new version has been released.

So I am removing the logback library from the gradle and adding the log4j2 library. I wonder if there is any plan to integrate log4j2 into the framework and release it.

You can use any logging framework of your choice with Armeria. Armeria relies solely on SLF4J, which serves as a logging facade. More information can be found at: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.linecorp.armeria/armeria/1.26.4

Please let us know if you encounter any issues while adapting log4j2.

Ok. What I was curious about is that when using armeria, log4j2 is excluded as an exception to gradle to use, and I wonder how not to do this.

configurations {
    configureEach {
        exclude group: 'org.springframework.boot', module: 'spring-boot-starter-logging'
        exclude group: 'ch.qos.logback', module: 'logback-classic'
    }
}

As an additional question, I am supposed to use slf4j now, and I wonder if you plan to use slf4j2 as a default.

Where did you get this code from?

There are no specific plans for that at the moment.
We intend to transition to SLF4J 2 when we set the minimum Java version to 11.
This change is necessary as the use of SLF4J 2 requires an update of Logback to version 1.4, which in turn requires JDK 11.

To clarify the dependency, Armeria modules do not depend on Logback by default. armeria-logback is an opt-in module for better supporting Logback.
