Re: Custom ConfigurationFactory not loaded
My issue came from the the way I ran my application and the fact that lo4j2
use an annotation processor.
I'm running my application (and my tests) from eclipse. So I have to
- Enable the option Enable annotation processing (Java Compiler -
Annotation Processing)
- Add log4j-core.jar in the Factory Path (Java Compiler - Annotation
Processing - Factory Path)
I think everything is working fine now!
Thank you everyone!

Re: Custom ConfigurationFactory not loaded
The configuration factory is responsible for parsing a config file and creating
a Configuration object. As such, it must exist _before_ the configuration file
is processed.
Log4j plugins are only created during processing of the config file. So a
configuration factory cannot be a plugin.

Re: Custom ConfigurationFactory not loaded
The property is named log4j.configurationFactory.
How are you building your custom ConfigurationFactory? If you're using an
IDE, you'll have to enable annotation processing in your settings.
Otherwise, you'll have to override it with the system property.

Hi,
I'm trying to use a custom ConfigurationFactory. I created and annotated it
with a @Plugin and an @Order like this:
@Plugin(category = ConfigurationFactory, name =
StartupConfigurationFactory)
@Order(10)
public class StartupConfigurationFactory extends ConfigurationFactory{
...
}
But it is never loaded (none of the 2 methods are called).
If I specify the system property log4j.configurationFactory with the name
of my class before creating a logger, my factory is successfully loaded.
Did I made a mistake declaring my ConfigurationFactory ?

Re: Custom ConfigurationFactory not loaded
Your annotations are correct. However, in the code snippet below you don’t show
what getSupportedTypes() returns. The generic ConfigurationFactory inspects all
the ConfigurationFactory plugins using the order to determine which should be
inspected first, second, etc. It calls getSupportedTypes to find out what file
extensions the ConfigurationFactory handles. If the provided configuration file
matches one of the file extensions than that factory will be used. “*” is used
as a wildcard to specify that it handles any file extension (which is what the
XMLConfigurationFactory does). However, with an Order of 10 if you specified a
“*” I believe your factory would have to handle XML, JSON and YAML
configurations.
I would suggest having getSupportedTypes return something like “.cfg” and then
having your configuration files end with .cfg.

Re: Custom ConfigurationFactory not loaded
It also occurs to me that the plugin manager may not be finding the plugin. If
you are using 2.0 then I believe the annotation processor should register the
factory as a plugin automatically. If you are using an older release you might
have been required to call PluginManager.addPackage(“com.myorg.mypackage”) to
have the plugin manager search for your plugin.
