Log4j 2 provides enhanced Spring Boot and Spring Cloud Config support with its log4j-spring-boot and log4j-spring-cloud-config-client modules. The Spring Cloud Config Client allows Log4j configuration files to be managed in Spring Cloud Config allowing for dynamic updating of the configuration, configurable SSL support, and support for credentials to access Spring Cloud Config server.
Unfortunately, Spring Boot's LoggingApplicationListener makes it impossible to provide the configurable SSL and credentials support since it needlessly tries to access the configured URL ostensibly to determine if the URL is valid. This check really provides no value since the underlying LoggingSystem will throw an exception if the url cannot be accessed, and because it does not include credentials it results in a 401 response that prevents the Spring Boot application from starting if credentials are required to access the Spring Cloud Configuration server.
Comment From: wilkinsona
Thanks for the proposal. I'm a little wary of making of Log4j2-specific change in a class that is used with any LoggingSystem but it may not be a problem. One difference that the proposal introduces is in the diagnostics when the config file can't be found or is invalid in same way. For example, before the proposed change, configuring Logback to use a file that doesn't exist results in the following output:
Logging system failed to initialize using configuration from '/does/not/exist.xml'
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /does/not/exist.xml (No such file or directory)

The former is arguably better as it gets straight to the root cause rather than it being buried a few causes down. Let's see what the rest of the team think. If we think the change in diagnostics is important we may be able to do something to improve them and implement the proposed change.

Perhaps I shouldn't have put this in terms of being Log4j 2 specific as it is not. It is just the first to provide support for external configurations. If the Spring Cloud Config team wanted to provide a similar enhancement for Logback (or this team decided to do it) they would be unable as the line of code in question prevents anyone from accessing a url that requires authentication. In other words, this single line of code is preventing anyone from ever placing their logging configuration in SCC if it requires authentication. Why would you want that?

The openStream() call was first added in https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/commit/a324beadacc60d89a108fdf789e5cb8aa26e49a3#diff-c5ecec80cfc559c273cd7903f848f262R116
Comment From: philwebb
I think it could be argued that the configLocation parameter of LoggingSystem.initialize doesn't need to be a URL so I'm tempted to make this change.
If we're worried about the stack trace, we could search for FileNotFoundExceptions ourselves in the catch block.

Any further update on this?

Any further update on this?
@rgoers as shown in the history, the issue has been triaged as an enhancement in the 2.4.x line which is our next feature release. What further update are you expecting?
Comment From: rgoers
Oh, I'm not sure why it would be considered an enhancement but I guess I will take what I can get. The problem is that user's of Log4j 2 who want to use this feature (myself included) can't because of this and there is no way to workaround the problem. Even if you try to create your own version of the class Spring Cloud will create a new SpringApplication that uses the original version and it will fail there. I consider it a bug and would have liked it applied to 2.2 and 2.3.
Comment From: philwebb
I can see the argument for making this a bug. We'll take a look at doing it for 2.2.x.
Comment From: rgoers
Thanks, Please see #23053 for an alternate way this could be handled.
Comment From: philwebb
@rgoers I've gone with your first approach in the end since it seems like the easier one to apply. I've added some additional logic to try and find the FileNotFoundException so that the stack-trace is similar.
Thanks for the PR!
