CBORM errors on newer Lucee versions because log4j appenders have moved

[michaelborn]

CBORM causes an error on Lucee 5.3.9.141 because lucee.commons.io.log.log4j.layout.ClassicLayout no longer exists.

See https://github.com/coldbox-modules/cborm/blob/development/models/util/ORMUtilSupport.cfc#L32-L39:

/**
 * Redirect all Hibernate logs to system.out
 */
if ( listFindNoCase( "Lucee", server.coldfusion.productname ) ) {
    var printWriter     = getPageContext().getConfig().getOutWriter();
    var layout          = createObject( "java", "lucee.commons.io.log.log4j.layout.ClassicLayout" );
    var consoleAppender = createObject( "java", "lucee.commons.io.log.log4j.appender.ConsoleAppender" ).init(
        printWriter,
        layout
    );
    hibernateLog.addAppender( consoleAppender );
    writeDump( var = "** Lucee Hibernate Logging Redirected", output = "console" );
}

It appears this moved to lucee.commons.io.log.log4j2.layout.ClassicLayout.

Ditto for lucee.commons.io.log.log4j.appender.ConsoleAppender, which moved to lucee.commons.io.log.log4j2.appender.ConsoleAppender

What's funny is that this shows in the test suite index.cfm page, but not in the test suite itself:

I've attempted to fix this via the following try...catch, but I can't verify that it is working.

Help, anyone?

try {
  // older Log4j code here...
} catch( any e ){
    // Log4j 2 implementation 😡
    var log4jLevel   = createObject( "java", "org.apache.logging.log4j.Level" );
    var logManager = createObject( "java", "org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager" );
    var hibernateLog = logManager.getLogger( "org.hibernate" );
    var logEngine = getPageContext().getConfig().getLogEngine();
    var consoleAppender = logEngine.getAppender( getPageContext().getConfig(), logEngine.getClassicLayout(), "console", logEngine.appenderClassDefintion( "console" ), javaCast( "null", 0 ) );

    hibernateLog.setLevel( log4jLevel[ arguments.level ] );
    hibernateLog.addAppender( consoleAppender );
}
