Spring Boot: LoggingApplicationListener interfering with Application Server logging

Question

Spring Boot automatically initializes the underlying logging system using the LoggingApplicationListener. This is a nice thing if the application I\'m developin

Answer 1

Since Spring Boot 1.4 the LoggingSystem autoconfiguration can be disabled.

Take a look at the Custom Log Configuration section of the Spring documentation:

You can force Spring Boot to use a particular logging system by using the org.springframework.boot.logging.LoggingSystem system property. The value should be the fully qualified class name of a LoggingSystem implementation. You can also disable Spring Boot’s logging configuration entirely by using a value of none.

For Tomcat, for example, set the environment variable JAVA_OPTS:

JAVA_OPTS="-Dorg.springframework.boot.logging.LoggingSystem=none"
