JBoss logbridge NPE with java.util.logging.Logger.getAnonymousLogger()
Hi JBoss Community,
at the moment i am trying to migrate a project to the JBoss 5.1.0 server.
Doing this I ran into some problems with the jboss logbridge (org.jboss.logbridge.LogbridgeHandler), when an anonymous logger from the JUL framework is used.
Using an anonymous logger a NPE will occur in the initialization of the log4j logger when the publish() method of the LogBridgeHandler is used.
The stacktrace is:
Exception in thread "main" javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.ejb3.tx.Ejb3TxPolicy.handleExceptionInOurTx(Ejb3TxPolicy.java:77) at

The LogBridgeHandler tries to resolve the name for the targetLogger from the LogRecord name which is null in case of an anonymous logger. Hence the log4j logger can not be initialized correctly.
As a workaround i implemented my own LogBridgeHandler which checks the name of the LogRecord, and in case that the name is null uses the log4j Root logger (since the anonymous logger always has the RootLogger as parent). However i would like to minimize the amount of customization that has to be done when installing the application and use the jboss default LogBridgeHandler.
My questions regarding this issue are the following:
1) Is there another way of using the jboss logbridge with JUL anonymous loggers without customization ?
2) Is this problem already solved in later versions of the jboss logbridge project ? (i searched for it, but didn't find any clues that this is the case)
3) Will this issue be eventually adressed in later versions of the jboss logbridge project, i.e. will there be a fix or do i have to stick with my customized version ?
Thank you for your effort !
Michael
PS: I add a jar File containing a small testcase with a StatelessBean using a JUL anonymous logger and a simple client triggering the logging. This should trigger the error described above (tested with a JBoss 5.1.0 default server).
The StatelessBean will just do
<code>
public void logTest() {
Logger logger = Logger.getAnonymousLogger();
logger.log(Level.INFO, "This is a TestLog");
}
</code>
€: Correct accentuation for the code parts.
