Note: if you just want something that will execute at startup and force _all_ logging to use log4j, instead of wrapping code in (binding ..) then you probably want something like this:
(ns your.namespace (:require [clojure.tools.logging :as log]) (:require [clojure.tools.logging.impl :as impl])) (alter-var-root (var log/*logger-factory*) (constantly (impl/log4j-factory))) This is what we ended with in our code to ensure log4j was selected at startup...
