GraphTraversalSource Causing log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.BooleanConverter)


Problem

How-To-Fix Log4j2 Warnings When Using Tinkerpop-3-Gremlin (Language)-GraphTraveralSource?

Tried

import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.traversal.dsl.graph.GraphTraversalSource;

import static org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.traversal.AnonymousTraversalSource.traversal;

public class Main {
    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(Main.class);
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("Hello world!");
        logger.info("Hello world!");
        GraphTraversalSource g = traversal().withRemote("conf/remote-graph.properties");
    }
}

Expected

This works fine when I comment out GraphTraversalSource but fails when its commented back in.
The Log4j2-logger does show the "Hello world!" fine just like System.out does.
And this is just a copy-paste from an OrientDB setup that instead uses OrientGraph:

        OrientGraph orientGraph = OrientGraph.open(configuration);
        GraphTraversalSource g = orientGraph.traversal();

Actual

Hello world!
2023-04-28 09:14:06,725 [INFO] [Main.main] ::    Hello world!
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.BooleanConverter).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Solution

  • Thanks Piotr P. Karwasz!

    Switching out the slf4j did fix my issue.

    Note the pom.xml order did matter here;
    Throws error if Janusgraph + Tinkerpop came before Log4j2 dependencies.
