The following code does not log when I add in the override methods. If I replace the code without the override the log works fine.
Has seen in multiple conversations, I added the following properties:
logging.level.com.mypackage.myproject.RequestLoggingConfiguration=TRACE(or DEBUG) logging.level.org.springframework.web.filter.CommonsRequestLoggingFilter=TRACE

Using Spring Boot 3.2.3
And spring-boot-log4j2 dependency.

I’m just tryna remove the after log from the Logger, but the logger doesn’t seems to work anymore…

Here is the code :

    @Bean 
    public CommonsRequestLoggingFilter logFilter() {
    CommonsRequestLoggingFilter filter = new CommonsRequestLoggingFilter() { 
            @Override 
            protected void afterRequest(HttpServletRequest request, String message) { 
                 
            }
    };

    filter.setIncludeClientInfo(true);
    filter.setIncludeHeaders(true);
    filter.setIncludePayload(true);
    filter.setIncludeQueryString(true);
    filter.setBeforeMessagePrefix("Request started => ");
    filter.setAfterMessagePrefix("Request ended => ");
    
    
    return filter;

}

In contrast, the following code successfully logs the output:

@Bean 
public CommonsRequestLoggingFilter logFilter() {
    CommonsRequestLoggingFilter filter = new CommonsRequestLoggingFilter();
    filter.setIncludeQueryString(true);
    filter.setIncludePayload(true); filter.setMaxPayloadLength(10000);
    filter.setIncludeHeaders(false);
    filter.setAfterMessagePrefix("REQUEST DATA: ");
    return filter;
}

log4j2.xml

<logger name="org.springframework.web.filter.CommonsRequestLoggingFilter">
    <level value="DEBUG" />
</logger>
