slf4j+log4j+logback总结

java开发过程中为了找问题方便或是统计信息方便，总免不了要打各种日志。之前的各个项目都是配置好的，maven配置的时候，会看到各种类型的Log包：slf4j、log4j、commons-log、logback等等，看着就烦，今天仔细了解了一下，有点收获，记录一下

起因

使用JAVA的kafka api写main方法进行开发测试，发现总报错

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (kafka.utils.VerifiableProperties).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

解决过程

第一直觉是缺少log4j的配置。好办，classpath下加入log4j.properties(log4j默认应该是直接找classpath下的这个文件，当然，可以直接指定加载哪个文件)，OK，不报错了

刚好最近的一个项目使用的是logback，而且网上也查了，logback性能要优于log4j(没有做过测试，先盲目从众吧)，就想直接引入logback。

POM中加入logback的依赖

<dependency>
          <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
          <artifactId>logback-core</artifactId>
          <version>1.1.2</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
          <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
          <artifactId>logback-access</artifactId>
          <version>1.1.2</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
          <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
          <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
          <version>1.1.2</version>
      </dependency>

启动，报错

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (kafka.utils.VerifiableProperties).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/C:/Users/zhaohuayu/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-log4j12/1.6.1/slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/C:/Users/zhaohuayu/.m2/repository/ch/qos/logback/logback-classic/1.1.2/logback-classic-1.1.2.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 [org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerFactory]

哦，Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings。

原来slf4j提供的是一个抽象的接口，实现可以是log4j、logback等，但是，运行时候只能有一个接口实现类。之前引入的kafka包，已经包含了对log4j的依赖，我又引入logback的包，冲突了

好办，去掉对Log4j的依赖

<dependency>
          <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
          <artifactId>kafka_2.10</artifactId>
          <version>0.8.2.0</version>
          <exclusions>
              <exclusion>
                  <groupId>log4j</groupId>
                  <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
              </exclusion>
              <exclusion>
                  <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
                  <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
              </exclusion>
          </exclusions>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
          <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
          <artifactId>logback-core</artifactId>
          <version>1.1.2</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
          <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
          <artifactId>logback-access</artifactId>
          <version>1.1.2</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
          <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
          <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
          <version>1.1.2</version>
      </dependency>

这下总OK了吧，运行：

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger

	at kafka.utils.VerifiableProperties.logger$lzycompute(VerifiableProperties.scala:26)

what?

kafka.utils.Logging里包含了对log4j类的引用……

package kafka.utils;

import kafka.utils.Log4jController.;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

怎么办？难道使用kafka的项目必须使用log4j？

总有解决方案，

 <dependency>
          <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
          <artifactId>log4j-over-slf4j</artifactId>
          <version>1.7.7</version>
      </dependency>

再次运行，OK，日志正常打印了

总结

1、slf4j提供各种抽象接口，日志应该基于slf4j的API进行日志打印，这样无论迁移到那个项目，只需要配一个实现类log4j or logback,都能正常打印日志

2、slf4j的实现类不能有多个，不然冲突

3、如果项目中有直接引用log4j的，可以加入log4j-over-slf4j，把旧的日志log4j适配到slf4j,这时候，再使用logback就可以了。

分享一个博客中解决各个项目模块中，各种日志杂乱的方案

    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>  
    <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>  
    <version>${org.slf4j-version}</version>

当然，前提是需要把各个项目中依赖的log实现exclusion掉
