java传统web项目添加maven管理jar包,log4j无法正常输出日志

Posted 2021-01-20 学习笔记

本文适合1年以上编程基础的开发人员阅读，非技术创新，可作为故障排除实录参考/收藏。

背景

　　笔者最近在给公司一个老的web项目改造升级，项目使用springmvc+mybatis，由于项目比较久远，没有使用maven管理jar版本，有可能是当时开发任务比较紧迫，不同的同事在不同的时期放入了jar版本各不相同，

看到那么多混乱的jar，真是操心。笔者曾花了大概半个下午的时间，把jar版本整理好，编入pom.xml中,从那个时候，笔者本地项目的jar版本算是交给maven托管了，顿时间心里舒畅了一会儿，心里也计划着和项目组大

家一起统一使用maven管控jar版本混乱的问题。可是事实有时候并不会常常如人所愿。就在部署web项目的时候，问题来了：控制台那么多可爱的日志怎么变少了呢？

原来正常的时候，日志输出大概如下：

而当笔者部署web项目到servlet容器（tomcat）中，问题来了，日志少的捉襟见肘，怎么也难应付平时的项目开发啊，开发测试过程中，怎么能少的了日志。

 

如此一来，这个maven上的有点让人措手不及，这不有点像邯郸学步，顾着把项目列入现代化管理方式，却失去了初衷：日志功能淡化，开发调试难度增加。

排错过程

本地日志输入代码如下：

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import com.xxx.system.auth.User;
/***
 * 权限校验类
 */

public class AuthManager {
    private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AuthManager.class);

    public static void check(HttpSession session)
   {
        User user = (User)session.getAttribute("userData");
       if (user == null) {
        if(logger.isDebugEnabled())
        logger.debug("当前用户session无效!");
        return false;
    }
        
   }
}

笔者按： 代码片段中使用了slf4j框架，slf4j是一个优秀的slf4j框架，他使用了适配器设计模式，由他来屏蔽不同日志框架的差异性，实现与不同日志框架的协作。

 

　　以上一段简单的代码，在项目中不同地方高频次的调用，却一直不见控制台有日志输出，笔者起初以为是ide在作祟，各种更改ide配置也无效，

把编译好的项目单独放到servlet容器tomcat中，仍不凑效，即便捶胸顿足也无计可施，以上说明问题的根源不是ide，也不是servlet容器，这可憋坏了笔者。

解决方法

 log4j一般性的用法如下：

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;

public class LogTest {
    static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(LogTest.class.getName());

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PropertyConfigurator.configure("src/log4j.properties");
        logger.debug("Debug ...");
        logger.info("Info ...");
        logger.warn("Warn ...");
        logger.error("Error ...");
    }

}

按图索骥，通过追踪Logger.getLogger源码，在我们面前呈现出一个类LogManager

static
  public
  Logger getLogger(String name) {
    return LogManager.getLogger(name);
  }

 

Log4jManager代码如下：

　　笔者本地使用log4j-1.2.16，通过阅读静态域代码了解到，log4j寻找配置文件顺序如下

      1、检测当前JVM是否配置log4j.configuration属性，如果有，加载对应的配置文件，也就是说，你可以在JVM启动时加载参数

        

-Dlog4j.configuration=d:\\log4j.properties

或者在程序里注册系统属性

System.setProperty("log4j.configuration","d:\\\\log4j.properties"); 

　　2、当前jvm环境中log4j.configuration属性查找不到，再从当前类加载路径依次查找log4j.xml、log4j.properties。显然，是要从jar包加载了。笔者用ide导航了一些，果不其然有的jar内置了log4j.xml,

这不是我们希望的结果，而我们需要的从当前web应用类路径加载，问题的症结也便在此：配置文件加载优先级问题，并非maven问题。

 

公司项目是web项目，显然更适合在Servlet上下文监听器(ServletContextListener)注册这个属性，如果项目比较紧急，到这一步已经基本算是临时性解决问题了，其他的留作后期代码重构再解决。

 

根本性解决方法

话到此处，有一些洁癖的程序员心里嘀咕着：这一点也不优雅，一点都不适合我的作风，这样不行，肯定有更好的办法。当然，如果能写出精炼、纯粹、直接的代码是最好不过了；好吧，笔者也是这么认为（窃笑中.gif)，能有别人封装好的成熟代码最好不过，

不要重复造轮子；当然写博文这个时间算是充足，考虑到项目用了spring，以往经常用spring来托管log4j。spring针对log4j 1.x有一个Log4jConfigListener

package org.springframework.web.util;

import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;

/**
 * Bootstrap listener for custom log4j initialization in a web environment.
 * Delegates to {@link Log4jWebConfigurer} (see its javadoc for configuration details).
 *
 * <b>WARNING: Assumes an expanded WAR file</b>, both for loading the configuration
 * file and for writing the log files. If you want to keep your WAR unexpanded or
 * don\'t need application-specific log files within the WAR directory, don\'t use
 * log4j setup within the application (thus, don\'t use Log4jConfigListener or
 * Log4jConfigServlet). Instead, use a global, VM-wide log4j setup (for example,
 * in JBoss) or JDK 1.4\'s {@code java.util.logging} (which is global too).
 *
 * <p>This listener should be registered before ContextLoaderListener in {@code web.xml}
 * when using custom log4j initialization.
 *
 * @author Juergen Hoeller
 * @since 13.03.2003
 * @see Log4jWebConfigurer
 * @see org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
 * @see WebAppRootListener
 * @deprecated as of Spring 4.2.1, in favor of Apache Log4j 2
 * (following Apache\'s EOL declaration for log4j 1.x)
 */
@Deprecated
public class Log4jConfigListener implements ServletContextListener {

    @Override
    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
        Log4jWebConfigurer.initLogging(event.getServletContext());
    }

    @Override
    public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
        Log4jWebConfigurer.shutdownLogging(event.getServletContext());
    }

}

通过跟踪代码，我们发现spring也是扩展了ServletContextListener监听器接口，采用迂回的方式，返回到我们刚刚提及的Log4jManager类,初始化了日志功能。

当然，在spring4.2.1以后，文档说已经过期，将使用log4j2系列日志，各位酌情使用，时间太晚，笔者没有再继续追下去。

我们只需要在web.xml中配置一个监听器和上下文参数，即可解决问题

  <context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath:log4j.properties</param-value>
  </context-param>

 <listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

 当然，通过查看Log4jWebConfigurer的文档注释，我们也可以指定日志的存放路，放到当前应用的上下文路径中。

log4j.appender.myfile.File=${webapp.root}/WEB-INF/demo.log

 

至此，日志兼容性问题便解决，可爱的log4j日志又在控制台活蹦乱跳了，眼前便豁然开朗。
