Logging in Clusters

Hi,

I am a newbie to log4j. I had tried the basic logging
mechanism in an application in Weblogic 6.0 and was
succesful too:)!!

I have a doubt regarding logging messages from
Enterprise beans. I did come upon articles where
people advised not to use logging in files in EJB
environment (while suggesting a DB logging). This is
attributed to the fact that when clustering is done,
the logs may be done in several machines as the EJB
server may distribute the Enterprise beans across
physical machines.

Can anyone suggest how this can be handled using
log4j. Also if u can help me with a sample code, it
would be useful. 

Thanks and regards,
Ganapathi.

Hi Thomas..

Thanx for that tip...I did try the SocketServer
provided by log4j and used a SocketAppender to log
messages...was succesful indeed:)

One observation is that when using SocketAppender
logging was very slow..i used the same machine as a
server as well as a client..is logging over network
generally slow or probably the network speed at the
time i tested was the culprit...

Another question...hope i am not aiming for the
stars!!

For an application, can we also define SocketAppenders
in a config file and load it using
PropertyConfigurator...i tried it (a blind shot
only!!) by giving the following...

#Set root category priority to DEBUG and its only
#appender to A1
log4j.rootCategory=WARN,A1

# A1 is set to be a SocketAppender which outputs to
#the port at which the server is listening 
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.A1.Host=localhost
log4j.appender.A1.Port=7777

# A1 uses PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t]
%-5p %c - %m%n

and also got the following message on the console
where i ran my client..

log4j:WARN No such property [host] in
org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender.

Can someone please help me out in this regard....

Thanks in advance,
Ganapathi.

Hi Ganapathi 

Have you considered a log-server?

See the org.apache.log4j.net package.
