Need help getting log4j to work under apache/tomcat/jboss on a linux server

[Gary Graham <ga...@isspitt.com>]

Hello all,

I have been trying - unsuccessfully I might add - to get log4j to produce a log file on our linux server running apache/tomcat/jboss.  I deployed a war file in the Jboss deploy directory andf all of thast worked just fine.  The application is up and running.  However, - no log4j log file is being produced.  I placed the log4j.priperties file in the WEB-INF/lib just like I do on all other configurations, but for some reason log4j doesn't work and doesn't complain either.  Here is a section of the log4j.properties file that defines the log file name:

#log4j props file
log4j.appender.default=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.default.File=./wtt.log
log4j.appender.default.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.default.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r %-5p %c{2} %M.%L %x - %m\n
#log4j.rootCategory=, default
#set other modules to INFO normally
log4j.category.WirelessLoginAction=INFO, default
log4j.category.WirelessLoginAction2=INFO, default
log4j.category.ConnPool.PoolManager=INFO, default
log4j.category.ConnPool.ConnectionPool=INFO, default

as you can see I am trying to log information to the file ./wtt.log

however - no file by that name is ever created anywhere on the server.

Perhaps someone can point me in the direction of my errors.

Thanks,

Gary Graham

JBoss used log4j internally. Consequently, the WEB-INF/lib does not work. 
You need to adapt JBoss' log4j configuration file.

See JBoss discussion groups 
and  http://www.jboss.org/developers/guides/logging.jsp for more info.
