Hi Bajaj, I spent a bit more time on that and I figured out the difference. The cause is in the implementation of log4j's ConsoleAppender.
So first of all as I said before, the code path that submits a job through Web UI redirects the std.out and std.err to a memory buffer for the time of the "main" method execution. This is the expected behavior. That's why the logback does not log anything. Log4j implementation is slightly different as by default it does not follow changes to the System#setOut. It buffers the original System.out. It has an option though to also follow changes to the System.out: ConsoleAppender#follow (https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html). If enabled the log4j behaves exactly the same way as logback. After a very brief check I could not find such property for logback (actually I like logback's approach better). Hope it clarifies the difference.
