Log4j can be as simple as add the dependency and you're good to go. Of course, you can do fancier setups and bridge your logs wherever where it is more work, but out of the box, it's very straightforward and batteries included. I have a very hard time believing you're seriously arguing the case that some of the most commonly used languages don't have good options for logging.

Which Java framework has log4j working out of the box for serious production deployment?

  • Spring Boot for example, which is arguably one of the most common ways to do Java anything these days. If you're trying to make a point, it would be considerably easier if you just said what you mean, because so far you're not making one. You could've easily looked up any of these questions.

    • Wrong again.

      Spring Boot doesn't provide a serious production quality deployment without configuration.

      Bare bones logging into standard out, yes.

      That isn't production quality.

      Production quality is telemetry logging, log rotation and zipping, forwarding logs to Kibana or Datadog dashboard.
