SpringBoot and log4j2 - application context loaded twice when SpringApplication.run() - spring

I want to use Spring boot and log4j2.
I have this pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>

</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
</dependency>
This is my main class:
#Component("batchLauncher")
#Import({ MyConfiguration.class })
public class MyLauncher implements CommandLineRunner {
private static Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(MyLauncher.class);
#Autowired
MyController myController;
public static void main(String[] args) {
log.info("STARTING");
SpringApplication.run(MyLauncher.class, args);
log.info("FINISHED");
}
#Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
log.info("START Batch");
MyController.start();
log.info("END Batch");
}
}
I launch the jar with this option:
-Dlog4j.configurationFile=C:\log4j2.properties
When the application start, the console show me:

As you can see from logs, log4j2 load my log4j properties file until the line
SpringApplication.run(MyLauncher.class, args);
The previous line is writed in log file, after that running SpringApplication.run(...), a second instance/context is loaded and log4j2 start logging using the default configuration located at:
file:/C:/Users/G0426/.m2/repository/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot/2.1.2.RELEASE/spring-boot-2.1.2.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/boot/logging/log4j2/log4j2.xml
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

SpringApplication.run(MyLauncher.class, args); is THE starting point of a Spring application. Spring has no control over anything logged before its execution.
Hence the behavior is appropriate considering Spring based logging configuration kicks in only after its context is loaded. Also, Spring Boot uses logging.config property to load the logging configuration.
You can try setting -Dlogging.config=C:\log4j.properties.
See Spring Boot Documentation for further details.

Is there a way to launch FXGL with SpringBoot?

I need to launch application with fxgl animations with springboot to utilize it's functionality.
I dont really know how to do it.
I tried putting initialization into different init() methods of the inheritor of the GameApplication.
I tried it like this:
#Override
protected void onPreInit() {
context = SpringApplication.run(getClass(), savedArgs);
context.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory().autowireBean(this);
super.onPreInit();
}
Or tried to mimic web version:
public class App extends Application {
private ConfigurableApplicationContext applicationContext;
#Override
public void init() {
String[] args = getParameters().getRaw().toArray(new String[0]);
this.applicationContext = new SpringApplicationBuilder()
.sources(DiplomaBaseApplication.class)
.run(args);
}
#Override
public void stop() {
this.applicationContext.close();
Platform.exit();
}
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
GameApplication gameApplication = new SimulationApplication();
GameApplication.embeddedLaunch(gameApplication);
}
}
#SpringBootApplication
public class DiplomaBaseApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Application.launch(App.class, args);
}
}
Using javafx-weaver-spring-boot-starter.
The application started, but spring initialization ended to early end spring features and beans doesn't work:

I'm not exactly sure why this did not work for you. I tried it and it worked fine for me.
This warning is generated:
Unsupported JavaFX configuration: classes were loaded from 'unnamed module #307f6b8c'
I guess that is just how fxgl works, it runs JavaFX off the classpath in an unsupported configuration by default. I see from the FXGL documentation that it can be used as a module, so I guess in that configuration it will run a supported configuration using JavaFX modules rather than off the classpath. However, SpringBoot isn't currently coded to use the modulepath (that will happen with SpringBoot 3, I believe). So, for now, it is probably best to run everything in the unsupported configuration as demonstrated by this example.
Although in the example I placed a main method in the DemoSpringApplication for testing, the actual main class to run is not that one, it is instead the BasicSpringGameApp which extends the FXGL GameApplication.
The BasicSpringGameApp will call the SpringApplication static method to run the Spring application (which will create an instance of the Spring application).
The Spring application is separate from the FXGL GameApplication (which is internally separate from the JavaFX Application), so all of those things have different instances (just one of each), applying a separation of concerns.
src/main/java/com/example/glboot/BasicSpringGameApp.java
Extends the FXGL GameApplication. The FXGL GameApplication will (internally) launch a JavaFX application. This example will also run a spring application so that spring services will be available. The spring context is autowired into the GameApplication class so that spring services are available for use within the GameApplication class. The use of a Spring inject service is demonstrated by making calls to the UserService, which is a Spring service.

Why can't I log before starting a Spring Boot Application?

I am trying to log something before my Spring Boot application starts. Here is a snippet below. I am using Lombok and Log4J2 and I have done the spring-boot-starter-logging exclusion + added spring-boot-starter-log4j2. I was wondering how to make it work and why the present code does not work.
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import lombok.extern.log4j.Log4j2;
#SpringBootApplication
#Log4j2
public class DemoApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
log.info("Does not work");
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
log.info("Works");
}
}
Result in console:
2020-11-30 19:45:32.667 INFO 25132 --- [ main] c.e.d.DemoApplication : Starting DemoApplication using Java 11.0.1 on *** with PID 25132 (**** started by **** in ****)

2020-11-30 19:45:33.927 INFO 25132 --- [ main] c.e.d.DemoApplication : Works
Updated:
However, as shown below, using Slf4j with default LogBack works, why not Log4j2?
(Log4j2 with Slf4j still does not)
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;

In the end I was able to answer my own question by stepping through the code + some research. Sharing my results:
In Log4j2, the default root filter level, when not providing a config (or before Spring instantiates the Log4j2-spring config) is ERROR, therefore isEnabled returns false and the logger does not print to the console the first time. However, once instantiated by Spring, the level becomes INFO and therefore the messages is printed to the console as the log level is now superior or equal to INFO level. QED

I am running the test in intelliJ hoping that it will not load the application context, but it starts with launching the application.

As per spring doc we can narrow the tests to only the web layer by using #WebMvcTest. Does this mean that it still loads the application context? Or maybe I did not understand it correctly.
With #WebMvcTest you still get an application context, but not the full application context.
The started Spring Test Context only contains beans that are relevant for testing your Spring MVC components: #Controller, #ControllerAdvice, Converter, Filter, WebMvcConfigurer.
Injecting MockMvc using #Autowired MockMvc mockMvc; also indicates that you are working with a Spring context and the JUnit Jupiter extension (#ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class which is part of #WebMvcTest) takes care to resolve your fields by retrieving them from the Test context.
If you still don't want a Spring Test context to be started, you can write a unit test using only JUnit and Mockito. With such tests, you would only be able to verify the business logic of your controller and not things like: correct HTTP response, path variable and query parameter resolving, exception handling with different HTTP status, etc.
You can read more on the different Spring Boot Test slices here and on how to use MockMvc to test your web layer.

Spring boot: Start an application automatically when Webshere Application Server starts?

Assume I have a SpringBoot Application deployed as a WAR to Websphere Application Server (WAS). This WAR contains a daemon, so it must start straight away when WAS starts (and only once).
However, I still need to activate the SpringBoot Servlet by doing a http request.
Now I understand that the concept of servlets is to act on http requests, I still want to get it auto started on appserver start. This makes my daemon portable from standalone jar/main to war/webapp.
I tried a ServletContextListener, but the contextInitalized also get only called at the first http request.
I do not have a web.xml (servlet 3).
Code:
#SpringBootApplication
#WebListener
public class DemoApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements ServletContextListener {
#Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
System.err.println("ONSTARTUP");
super.onStartup(servletContext);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
}
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(DemoApplication.class);
}
#Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
System.err.println("contextInitialized");
}
#Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent arg0) {
//
}
}
and:
#Component
public class DemoRunner implements ApplicationRunner {
#Override
public void run(ApplicationArguments arg0) throws Exception {
System.err.println("I AM RUNNING");
}
}
When I start WAS I first get this:
Launching defaultServer (WebSphere Application Server
16.0.0.2/wlp-1.0.13.cl160220160526-2258) on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, version 1.7.0_79-b15 (en_US)

[AUDIT ] CWWKT0016I: Web application available (default_host): http://localhost:9080/demo/
[AUDIT ] CWWKZ0001I: Application test started in 17,282 seconds.
To get my Spring Boot application starting, I first need to visit this link (http:/localhost:9080/demo/). Then it starts rolling, starting with the startup method as you can see in the log. But how can I get this starting without doing a http request?

You can change the loadOnStartup by customize the spring dispatch servlet, here is the sample question and you can use the code
#Bean
public static BeanFactoryPostProcessor beanFactoryPostProcessor() {
return new BeanFactoryPostProcessor() {
#Override
public void postProcessBeanFactory(
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException {
BeanDefinition bean = beanFactory.getBeanDefinition(
DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration.DEFAULT_DISPATCHER_SERVLET_REGISTRATION_BEAN_NAME);
bean.getPropertyValues().add("loadOnStartup", 1);
}
};
}

how to configure 'dispatcherServlet' load on startup by spring boot?
Upate
Seems there is a more simple way, you can config it in application.properites
spring.mvc.servlet.load-on-startup=1

Spring boot applicaton will not stay up

I created a simple REST Spring boot application. I see it start, but it immediately shutsdown. There is no error in log.
Below is the code and the log.
Code:
#Controller
#ComponentScan
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#RequestMapping("userInfo")
public class UserUpdateService
{
private java.util.logging.Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("UserUpdateService");
#RequestMapping(value="/{userId}", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/xml; charset=utf-8")
#ResponseBody
String getUserInfo(#PathVariable String userId)
{
String func = "getUserInfo";
logger.entering("UserUpdateService", func);
String retval = "";
return retval;
}
#RequestMapping(value="/{userId}", method=RequestMethod.DELETE, produces = "application/xml; charset=utf-8")
#ResponseBody
String removeUser(#PathVariable String userId)
{
String retval = "";
String func = "removeUser";
logger.entering("UserUpdateService", func);
return retval;
}
#RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.PUT, produces = "application/xml; charset=utf-8")
#ResponseBody
String addUser(#WebParam (name = "userId")String userId)
{
String retval = "";
String func = "addUser";
logger.entering("UserUpdateService", func);
return retval;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(UserUpdateService.class, args);
}
}

if you are using maven, check out your pom.xml file, then you will find something like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
it should be changed to this instead:

<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
