Exactly how does this have anything to do with Tomcat 5.5? Sounds like you are
having an issue with Eclipse recognizing the Log4j library. What you have
should work fine, though I would write it simply as...
private final transient Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DBConnectivity.class);
logger.error("Hello");
Notice that I set the Logger instance as transient. Replace "transient" with
"static" if you want your logger to be static. It's not so important if your
enclosing class is not Serializable, but if it is, you need to make sure that
loggers aren't serialized with the enclosing class because they are not
serializable.
Beyond that, I don't know what your issue is. If this truly is an issue related
to Tomcat, you'll need to explain exactly how.

Ahh - it's been a while since doing this stuff so I'm a bit rusty.
Was rather obvious - but I was off round the houses trying to find something
wrong elsewhere.
Thanks for the help.

I just looked back at his example. Indeed, it's not within a
method. I guess I just took for granted that logging was being done
inside a method because, well, where else would you do it? Then
again, try/catch has to be within a method or a static block as well,
and that's where he said he was finally able to get logging
working. Hmm.... Strange.

You cannot log or add any other statement outside of a method. You will
have to learn some more Java ;-)

It makes zero sense that you can only use logger.error("string") within a
"catch" block. Your Eclipse install or "straight code" plugin is broken. Try
compiling outside eclipse. I bet you get no errors no matter where you put
logger.error("string").

But Tomcat is the runtime environment. Your issue is coming at compile-time,
though it's not really a compile-time issue because there's nothing wrong with
the code. There's something wrong with how Eclipse is interpreting the code as
you view it in the editor. Given this, the deployment environment is
superfluous to the issue at hand.

Re: Log4J and Tomcat 5.5 - Trouble getting started

Hi
thanks to Jacob for the reply and tips.
I have found that I can use logger.error("etc") as long as it is nested in a
catch statement.
If in "straight code" eclipse shows the error.
I am not sure why this might be - examples on the net show that it should be
poss.
However I only need to show exceptions so we can make progess.
The reason I mentioned TC5.5 was in case the changes in logging had affected
things- it is a while since I've been developing with java and wanted to
note the environment I'm using.
