As https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1492 hasn't got enough
traction, we have implemented jetty's RequestLog using log4j2 for our use
case.
*MVN Dependency:*
<dependency>
<groupId>com.flipkart.poseidon</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-access</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
*Sample code:*
RequestLogHandler requestLogHandler = new RequestLogHandler();
requestLogHandler.setRequestLog(new *Log4JAccessLog*
("<path_to_log4j_access_configuration_file>"));
requestLogHandler.setHandler(handler);
*PS:*
1. It is not officially released/supported. It was developed for our use
case under this License
<https://github.com/flipkart-incubator/Poseidon/blob/master/LICENSE> from
this open Source code
<https://github.com/flipkart-incubator/Poseidon/tree/master/log4j-access> and
library is available in Clojars
<https://clojars.org/com.flipkart.poseidon/log4j-access> repository. Once
LOG4J2-1492 gets closed officially, we'll stop supporting this library.
2. Sample config file
<https://github.com/flipkart-incubator/Poseidon/blob/master/log4j-access/src/test/resources/log4j-access.xml>
to
tune access log configuration (Ex: swapping status code and content length
can be achieved; size/time based log rotation can be achieved etc).
3. Library enables async access logging (Jetty's request and response
details are captured in a LogEvent synchronously but the event can be
asynchronously logged to file using async appended or
AsyncLoggerContextSelector etc). Basic converters to log remote host,
request line, status code, request headers are provided and can be extended
to include more features and web servers.
