Logging in Wildfly 17?

[gbrown1]

What is the preferred way to generate log output in Wildfly 17? I've seen a lot of documentation about configuring logging, but nothing about which API(s) to use.

Thanks,

Greg

AFAIK you can use the APIs of Commons Logging, SLF4J, Log4j or JBoss Logging. Wildfly adds implementations for these APIs to each deployment (see Developer Guide ) .

I've used SLF4J. The applications didn't contain any implementations of logging APIs (i.e. no dependency on SLF4J implementations and transitive logging dependencies were set to scope "provided" in the POM).
