'infinispan-core' not showing logs

Question

I'm using log4j (1.2.17)

'infinispan-embedded' does work with my logs.

But when I change to work with: 'infinispan-core' I don't recive any logs from Infinispan.

I have Spring(4.1.4) & Hibernate(4.2.21)
Infinispan version - 8.2.6.Final

Any ideas?

Thanks.

my dependecy:tree is:

I've been through similar situations before. The problem here is most likely that there's a dependency missing when using infinispan-core.

The way to address such issues is by step-debugging through the code to understand why the logger is not being found. You can do that by putting a breakpoint at the start of org.jboss.logging.LoggerProviders.findProvider() method. That method detects which logger will be used, whether JDK, Log4j, Log4j2, Slf4j...etc.

So, put back the embedded dependency, put a breakpoint in that method, and verify that Log4j 1.x is added. Then, try running the same with infinispan-core in place and see what provider gets chosen (I guess it's not Log4j 1.x). Then see if adding Log4j 1.x as explicit dependency works...etc :)

Your hint led me to try the folloging: -Dorg.jboss.logging.provider=slf4j and now my logging works! – emanciperingsivraren Jul 26 '17 at 07:35
...and after some investigation i found out that `infinispan-spring` pulls in log4j2 and that is why jboss.logging tries to use that. After removing log4j2 it works automatically. Jay – emanciperingsivraren Jul 26 '17 at 08:18

Another thing: please avoid infinispan-embedded as dependency for a Maven/Gradle project. These jars are what we call uber jars and they are designed for build systems that do not have dependency resolution capabilities. – Galder Zamarreño Aug 02 '17 at 15:51

Thanku Galder! - You walk me throught the solution.

I saw that there were a tiny bug on the jboss-logging in the version I used:
3.2.0.Final
and upgrading it to:
3.3.1.Final
fixed it.

The bug was only for log4j 1.x in the method:

LoggerProviders.tryLog4j
