Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding

The Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding allows applications coded to the SLF4J API to use Log4j 2 as the implementation.

Requirements

The Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding has a dependency on the Log4j 2 API as well as the SLF4J API.

Usage

The SLF4J binding provided in this component cause all the SLF4J APIs to be routed to Log4j 2. Simply include the Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding jar along with the Log4j 2 jars and SLF4J API jar to cause all SLF4J logging to be handled by Log4j 2.

Use of the Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding (log4j-slf4j-impl-2.0.jar) together with the SLF4J adapter (log4j-to-slf4j-2.0.jar) should never be attempted, as it will cause events to endlessly be routed between SLF4J and Log4j 2.
