I see... so what I think is happening is that in JDK 8, the
handlers from ".handlers" where added to the root logger from
within addLogger(rootLogger) and because ClassLoaderLogManager
overrides LogManager::addLogger, then that part was skipped.
So the cause of JDK-8191033 is because cx::addLocalLogger returns false
when addLogger is called the first time to add the root and global
logger and it causes that ".handlers" is not read and loaded for the
root logger. It took me some time to understand what it's happening.
When addLocalLogger is called to add a logger, it calls
ensureAllDefaultLoggers to ensure the root and global loggers are added
first. Do you think the handling of ".handlers" should be done in
LoggerContext::ensureDefaultLogger? Would that avoid the check to call
loadLoggerHandlers if it's called from ensureLogManagerInitialized?
The code is getting quite complicated and if moving it closer to the
place it adds the root logger would help.
thanks
