i change the log versions and tried with different dependencies also

Solution

  • If a logging back-end creates a logging file, but no message appears in it, the most common reason is: messages are being logged to another back-end. My guess is that they end up in the NO-OP SLF4J back-end:

    In your case you have the following logging dependencies (cf. mvn dependency:list or your IDE):

    [INFO] 
[INFO] --- dependency:2.8:list (default-cli) @ log4j-sandbox ---
[INFO] 
[INFO] The following files have been resolved:
          ...
[INFO]    commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1.1:compile
          ...
[INFO]    org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api:jar:2.19.0:compile
[INFO]    org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:jar:2.17.0:compile
          ...
[INFO]    org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:jar:1.6.1:compile
[INFO]    org.slf4j:jul-to-slf4j:jar:1.6.1:compile
[INFO]    org.slf4j:log4j-over-slf4j:jar:1.6.1:compile
[INFO]    org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.1:compile
          ...

    They serve the following purposes:

    • commons-logging, log4j-api and slf4j-api are proper logging APIs: your code or library code uses them directly,
    • log4j-over-slf4j is a replacement for log4j:log4j (Log4j 1.x), which contained both an API and a back-end. This artifact only replaces the API and forwards all messages to SLF4J.
    • log4j-core is a logging back-end: the Log4j API will use it to write messages.
    • slf4j-api also has a no-op backend: if it is selected you'll get a message like in this question on your console.
    • the rest are various bridges between the APIs.

    Looking at your dependencies:

    • code written using the Log4j API will be logged correctly to Log4j Core,
    • code written using SLF4J will be logged to the NO-OP backend (no other implementation of SLF4J is present on the classpath),
    • code written using Commons Logging will be redirected to SLF4J (either through jcl-over-slf4j or log4j-over-slf4j).

    To fix your logging stack you should:

    • bump commons-logging to version 1.3.0 (which supports Log4j API and SLF4J directly, with a preference for the former),
    • remove jcl-over-slf4j,
    • try removing log4j-over-slf4j: some old libraries might still use Log4j 1.x directly, but it is unlikely. If you start getting runtime linkage errors regarding org/apache/log4j/Logger, you'll need to add the dependency again,
    • add a bridge between SLF4J and Log4j API: in your case it is log4j-slf4j-impl (cf. this question).

    Remark: The jul-to-slf4j artifact can be used to provide a redirection between java.util.logging and SLF4J. However, unlike other redirections, this can only be done globally for the entire application server or requires application server specific configuration. Therefore jul-to-slf4j is usually useless in a WAR file.
