Spring Boot has no mandatory logging dependency, except for the Commons Logging API, of
which there are many implementations to choose from. To use http://logback.qos.ch[Logback]
you need to include it, and some bindings for `commons-logging` on the classpath. The
simplest way to do that is through the starters which all depend on

the classpath. The simplest way to do that is through the starters which all depend on
`spring-boot-starter-logging`. For a web application you only need
`spring-boot-starter-web` since it depends transitively on the logging starter.
For example, using Maven:

Spring Boot supports http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x[Log4j 2] for logging

assembling dependencies that means you have to exclude Logback and then include log4j 2
