Informational messages are logged with level "WARN"

[davidkron]

During development I always start my applications with log level "WARN". So I discovered that grails-spring-security-core seems to log messages I would not consider warnings. And additionally, it also prints the messages with println, which results in duplicated output:

WARN grails.plugin.springsecurity.SpringSecurityCoreGrailsPlugin - 
Configuring Spring Security Core ...

Configuring Spring Security Core ...
WARN grails.plugin.springsecurity.SpringSecurityCoreGrailsPlugin - ... finished configuring Spring Security Core

... finished configuring Spring Security Core

Is there a reason for this behavior?
I think a simple log.debug or log.info and no println should be enough.

thank-you @davidkron for submitting this issue!

I do believe the printlns are there so that developers may see the the current state of the spring-security-core plugin when the app starts, regardless of whether they've configured the correct log level (currently warn) in their config.

I think the println statements should be kept in place, but I do agree the other startup messages should be logged with level info.

I'll work on that change.

Personally, I think we should remove the println statements too.
