vertx LoggerHandler not adding logback

Question

I am trying to use LoggerHandler to log all incoming requests. I am using logback.xml to specify appenders. I am setting system property for logging.

System         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me with Vert.x 3.4.1:

    import static io.vertx.core.logging.LoggerFactory.LOGGER_DELEGATE_FACTORY_CLASS_NAME;
    import io.vertx.core.logging.LoggerFactory;

    // ...

    setProperty (LOGGER_DELEGATE_FACTORY_CLASS_NAME, SLF4JLogDelegateFactory.class.getName ());
    LoggerFactory.getLogger (LoggerFactory.class); // Required for Logback to work in Vertx

The key is to get a logger, which I guess initializes the Logging subsystem, the class that you use to get a Logger seems irrelevant as I tried with two different ones.

I run these lines as the first ones of the program in production code and in the tests to work properly in both contexts.
