#26510

Update library log4j to version >= 2.16.0

Code migration Logging SecurityIssue

Currently Top-Logic uses Log4j version 1.2.17. But the 1s versions are not supported anymore. And the 2s versions of Log4j before 2.1.15 have a critical security vulnerability. Either Log4j needs to be replaced entirely or upgraded to a current version.

Implementation

Log4j 1.2.17 has been replaced by version 2.17.2.

Code migration

Note: If there are problems, Log4j can be switched to debug mode:
- To do this, define the following property empty: log4j2.debug, i.e.: -Dlog4j2.debug
- See also: https: //logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/faq.html#troubleshooting
The Log4j configuration must be changed to XML format.
- The standard configuration of the framework serves as a template: /com.top_logic/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/logging/default.xml
- Official documentation:
  - https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html
  - https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#PatternLayout
There is no longer an automatism that creates a logging configuration during deployment. This must be created manually.
The Ganymede plugin for Eclipse no longer works with Log4J2. Instead, the Ganymede2 plugin can be used, which can be installed via this update site: https://dbusche.github.io/Ganymede2/

Test

Toggle logging settings and check if e.g. stacktraces are logged with debug.xml.
