RFR: 8017174 - NPE when using Logger.getAnonymousLogger or LogManager.getLogManager().getLogger

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

Please find below a patch for jdk8 for:

8017174 - NPE when using Logger.getAnonymousLogger or 
LogManager.getLogManager().getLogger

<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/JDK-8017174/webrev-jdk8.00/>

The issue was that the lazy initialization of LoggerContext was
not working correctly - leading to applets seeing a partially
initialized tree where the root logger hadn't been added
yet - hence the NPE - as the root logger was unexpectedly null.


best regards,
