Are you suggesting a close method on ILogger? We use a static logger per class. I don't want to have to close each logger separately. I would like a master shutoff switch that will synchronously flush all appenders so I can call it before exiting my app. The ILoggerFactory seems like the perfect spot for this.<br>

I think the right solution is to add a logger.close() method to slf4j. Each implementation could handle it in its own way. For logback or log4j, it would just call stop() on each of the appenders that were attached to the logger.<div class="im">

This requires me to have access to ch.qos.logback.classic<br>
when writing code. It does not allow me to switch loggers out without<br>
changing code.<br>
<br>
We are in the process of moving from log4j to logback. One requirement<br>
placed on me is to be able to revert back to log4j if something "goes<br>
wrong". I was hoping that using SLF4J would give me this ability.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to achieve writing code only using SLF4J and...<br>
<br>
if slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar and log4j-1.2.15.jar are in my production<br>
classpath, I'm logging using log4j.<br>
If log4j-over-slf4j-1.6.1.jar (for third-party<br>
logging), logback-classic-0.9.24.jar, and logback-core-0.9.24.jar are in<br>
my production classpath, I'm logging using logback.<br>
<br>
So without changing code, I can switch between logging back ends.<br>
<br>
Should ILoggerFactory have a shutdown or stop method? It could shutdown<br>
whatever logging back end I'm using?<br>
<br>
For log4j it would call<br>
- org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository().shutdown();<br>
For logback it would call - loggerContext.stop()<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>

How about LoggerContext.stop()? It looks as if it's designed<br>
specifically for this purpose. It recursively stops and detaches<br>
all appenders, amongst other things.<br>
<br>
(You can cast the result of LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory() to a<br>
LoggerContext).<br>

I'm using file appenders. At a certain point in my app, a little<br>
before<br>
shutdown, I have to close all loggers.<br>
<br>
How do I tell logback to call stop() on all appenders?<br>
