log4j2.xml won't get read

Hello,

I am working on a jax-rs project that uses log4j through slf4j-api and log4j-slf4j-impl. So far, I configured the logging pattern via Wildfly’s standalone.xml. But I want to have a project wide config file for logging.

I put a log4j2.xml in the resources folder, but when I run it, it just uses the pattern of the standalone.xml.

Here is my log4j2.xml: 

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <Configuration status="WARN">
    <Appenders>
      <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
        <PatternLayout pattern="MYLOG TEST  %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/>
      </Console>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
      <Root level="error">
        <AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
      </Root>
    </Loggers>
  </Configuration>

What am I missing? It seems that the file was not read?  In the output in my IntelliJ IDEA IDE I just see the log messages in the format I set in the standalone.xml.

Best regards,
Christian

I don't know how Wildfly works, but maybe you should ask this question 
to any support forum of Wildfly.

Hello,

it works when I use log4j.xml with this structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="true">

  <appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
    <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
    <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
    <param name="Threshold" value="ALL"/>

    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="MYLOG %d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n"/>
    </layout>
  </appender>

  <root>
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
  </root>

</log4j:configuration>

My guess is that this is the old log4j 1 syntax, but it is currently the only thing that works for Wildfly. I should ask the Wildfly community if there’s a way to enable Wildfly to recognize the new log4j2.xml.

Thank you!

Christian
