Java EE idiomatic servlet container initializer to capture Http request context.
NOTE: This client is a work-in-progress, and may occasionally make backwards-incompatible changes.
If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>google-cloud-logging-servlet-initializer</artifactId>
</dependency>If you are using Gradle without BOM, add this to your dependencies
implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-logging-servlet-initializer'If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies
libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-logging-servlet-initializer"You'll need to obtain the google-cloud-logging-servlet-initializer library. See the Quickstart section
to add google-cloud-logging-servlet-initializer as a dependency in your code.
Cloud Logging Servlet Initializer saves you an effort to capture the logging context of the servlet request. The captured context includes Http request and tracing information such as trace and span Ids. The initializer is registered using Service Provider Interface with the Java EE Servlet Container and adds a listener for servlet request events to capture the current context of the servlet requests.
Using Cloud Logging Servlet Initializer developers can enrich logs they write to Cloud Logging with Http request and tracing information without adding a single line of code.
Add the library to your pom.xml in addition to google-cloud-logging or google-cloud-logging-logback.
If you use asynchronous execution to process servlet requests and need to propogate the context to child threads (threads that are forked from the request handler's thread) you would need to set the useInheritedContext property in the logging configuration to true. Remember to provide the path to the configuration file as a system property: -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/path/to/logging.properties.
com.google.cloud.logging.ContextHandler.useInheritedContext=true
When the useInheritedContext property is set to true, the context stored for the request handler's thread will be inherited by all child threads that the thread creates.
NOTE: If child threads are not disposed at the end of the request handling, consider avoiding context inheritance. Context clean up removes the context for the request handler's thread ONLY.
By default the context is saved for the request handler's thread only. If you do not use the useInheritedContext property, you can set the context for other threads explicitly using the com.google.cloud.logging.ContextHandler class.

Java 8 or above is required for using this client.
Google's Java client libraries, Google Cloud Client Libraries follow the Oracle Java SE support roadmap (see the Oracle Java SE Product Releases section).
The library uses Jakarta Servlet package version 4.0.4. Older versions of javax.servlet are not supported.
In general, new feature development occurs with support for the lowest Java LTS version covered by Oracle's Premier Support (which typically lasts 5 years from initial General Availability). If the minimum required JVM for a given library is changed, it is accompanied by a semver major release.
Java 11 and (in September 2021) Java 17 are the best choices for new development.
Google tests its client libraries with all current LTS versions covered by Oracle's Extended Support (which typically lasts 8 years from initial General Availability).
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Java runtimes with long term stable libraries that don't receive feature updates on a best efforts basis as it may not be possible to backport all patches.
Google provides updates on a best efforts basis to apps that continue to use Java 7, though apps might need to upgrade to current versions of the library that supports their JVM.
The latest versions and the supported Java versions are identified on
the individual GitHub repository github.com/GoogleAPIs/java-SERVICENAME
and on google-cloud-java.
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
It is currently in major version zero (0.y.z-alpha), which means that anything may change at any time
and the public API should not be considered stable.
Contributions to this library are always welcome and highly encouraged.
