SLF4J is a simple facade for logging systems allowing the end-user to plug-in the desired logging system at deployment time.
Logback is intended as a successor to the popular log4j project. It was designed by Ceki Gülcü, log4j’s founder. It builds upon a decade of experience gained in designing industrial-strength logging systems. The resulting product, i.e. logback, is faster and has a smaller footprint than all existing logging systems, sometimes by a wide margin. Just as importantly, logback offers unique and rather useful features missing in other logging systems.
用slf4j可以把原来用其他日志框架写的日志redirect到logback,具体原理这张图可以很好的说明:
slf4j-api.jar里的org.slf4j.LoggerFactory会调org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder,这个StaticLoggerBinder在logback-classic.jar里实现,这样就把slf4j的日志绑定到logback了。这时,如果classpath里同时还有slf4j-log4j12.jar那么会报multiple SLF4j bindings错误,因为slf4j-log4j12.jar里也有StaticLoggerBinder实现:
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/D:/mvn_repository/ch/qos/logback/logback-classic/1.1.2/logback-classic-1.1.2.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/D:/mvn_repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-log4j12/1.7.6/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.6.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation.
SLF4J: Actual binding is of type [ch.qos.logback.classic.util.ContextSelectorStaticBinder]
注:应用里只能把slf4j绑定到一个最终日志实现方案,可以是logback,log4j,comming-logging或java.util.logging等,本篇主要介绍slf4j绑定logback, 上面这个图就是绑定到logback.
如果应用引用其他的jar是使用log4j,comming-logging或java.util.logging记日志的,要把这些日志也路由到logback上来,首先把这些日志调用路由到slf4j,slf4j再到logback.具体实现是用jcl-over-slf4j.jar替换log4j.jar, 用log4j-over-slf4j.jar替换commons-logging.jar, 用jul-to-slf4j.jar替换java.util.logging. 原理也很简单,jcl-over-slf4j.jar里有log4j.jar同名的类,所以有jcl-over-slf4j.jar了就要把log4j.jar删了。其中jul-to-slf4j.jar比较特殊一些,因为java.util.logging是jdk自带的,没有办法替换,jul-to-slf4j.jar做法比较特殊,详见代码。
