commons-logging.jar 和 log4j.jar 的关系

　　在用springmvc开发项目的时候，在日志管理这一块，我们一般用的都是log4j进行日志管理，但是我们在导入spring相关的jar的时候，都会看到commons-logging.jar包，为什么我们使用log4j的同时还要引入commons-logging.jar包，它们到底是一种什么关系呢?

　　接下来我们看看commons-logging中的org.apache.commons.logging.Log的源码

/*** Eclipse Class Decompiler plugin, copyright (c) 2016 Chen Chao ([email protected]) ***/
package org.apache.commons.logging;

public abstract interface Log {
    public abstract void debug(Object paramObject);

    public abstract void debug(Object paramObject, Throwable paramThrowable);

    public abstract void error(Object paramObject);

    public abstract void error(Object paramObject, Throwable paramThrowable);

    public abstract void fatal(Object paramObject);

    public abstract void fatal(Object paramObject, Throwable paramThrowable);

    public abstract void info(Object paramObject);

    public abstract void info(Object paramObject, Throwable paramThrowable);

    public abstract boolean isDebugEnabled();

    public abstract boolean isErrorEnabled();

    public abstract boolean isFatalEnabled();

    public abstract boolean isInfoEnabled();

    public abstract boolean isTraceEnabled();

    public abstract boolean isWarnEnabled();

    public abstract void trace(Object paramObject);

    public abstract void trace(Object paramObject, Throwable paramThrowable);

    public abstract void warn(Object paramObject);

    public abstract void warn(Object paramObject, Throwable paramThrowable);
}

　　很显然，commons-logging中j的log类就是一个接口，只要实现了该接j它口，那么它就是一个logger组件，继续看commons-logging下的org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger源码

　　我们看到有两个类，一个是Jdk14Logger，另一个是Log4JLogger。到这里我们应该知道，真正记录日志的是Jdk14Logger类和Log4JLogger类。而 commons-logging 把这两个(实际上，在 org.apache.commons.logging.impl 包下，commons-logging 仅仅为我们封装了 log4j 和 sun logger)记录日志的工具重新封装了一遍(Log4JLogger.java 和 Jdk14Logger.java)，可以认为 org.apache.commons.logging.Log 是个傀儡，它只是提供了对外的统一接口。因此我们只要能拿到 org.apache.commons.logging.Log，而不用关注到底使用的是 log4j 还是 sun logger。正如我们经常在项目中这样写：

private static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(Run.class);  

View Code

　　既然如此，我们的项目有两个jar包，那么我们用的是log4j 还是 Jdk14Logger呢？我们在配置spring的web.xml文件时，经常会有如下配置：

<listener>  
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListenerlistener-class>  
listener>

　　 终于找到了 org.springframework.util.Log4jConfigurer，这正是 log4j 提供给我们的初始化日志的类。至此，我们终于明白了我们系统的的确确使用的是 log4j 的日志工具。 

　　可是问题又来了，org.apache.commons.logging.Log 和 org.apache.log4j.Logger 这两个类，通过包名我们可以发现它们都是 apache 的项目，既然如下，为何要动如此大的动作搞两个东西(指的是 commons-logging 和 log4j)出来呢？事实上，在 sun 开发 logger 前，apache 项目已经开发了功能强大的 log4j 日志工具，并向 sun 推荐将其纳入到 jdk 的一部分，可是 sun 拒绝了 apache 的提议，sun 后来自己开发了一套记录日志的工具。可是现在的开源项目都使用的是 log4j，log4j 已经成了事实上的标准，但由于又有一部分开发者在使用 sun logger，因此 apache 才推出 commons-logging，使得我们不必关注我们正在使用何种日志工具。
