Do I need to flush events when shutting down using logback?

Asked 2010-09-09T16:55:27.903

We are migrating to logback from log4j for several web apps. In the shutdown of our application we currently call:

org.apache.log4j.LogManager.shutdown();

Which is supposed to flush all async logging and close all external resources (files, sockets).

Is there something similar in logback or does it somehow flush automatically on shutdown?

Here's a simple approach:

import org.slf4j.ILoggerFactory;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext;

...

ILoggerFactory loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
// Check for logback implementation of slf4j
if (loggerFactory instanceof LoggerContext) {
    LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) loggerFactory;
    context.stop();
}
