Web project Spring 5.x uses log4j 2

Starting from version 4.x, Spring no longer uses the old log4j 1 for logging, but instead supports log4j version 2. The method of configuring the Log4jConfigListener listener in web.xml on the Internet is an old version, which is not applicable at present. The steps to use log4j 2 in Spring 4.x+ version are:

1. Import dependencies (Maven)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.10.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.10.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-web</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.1</version>
</dependency>

2. Declare the logger in the class

Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(当前类名.class);

3. Configuration file

The original log4j.properties file is no longer valid, changed to log4j2.xml file, placed in the resources directory, the content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="OFF" monitorInterval="1800">
    <properties>
        <property name="LOG_HOME">/WEB-INF/logs</property>
        <property name="FILE_NAME">appsys</property>
    </properties>

    <Appenders>
        <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n" />
        </Console>
        <RollingFile name="running-log" fileName="${LOG_HOME}/${FILE_NAME}.log"
                     filePattern="${LOG_HOME}/$${date:yyyy-MM}/${FILE_NAME}-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log.gz"
                     immediateFlush="true">
            <PatternLayout
                    pattern="%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %level [%thread][%file:%line] - %msg%n" />
            <Policies>
                <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10 MB" />
            </Policies>
            <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="20" />
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="trace">
            <!-- 这里是输入到文件，很重要-->
            <AppenderRef ref="running-log" />
            <!-- 这里是输入到控制台-->
            <AppenderRef ref="Console" />
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

4. Add a listener to web.xml

<listener>
        <listener-class>org.apache.logging.log4j.web.Log4jServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
