Enabling DEBUG logging

[Nicholas G Harlow <nh...@us.ibm.com>]

Hi,

I have been trying to get verbose trace output to help me diagnose some 
problems I have been having.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I put a 
log4j.properties file in my classpath with the following content:


__________
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Logging Configuration
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, Console

########################################################################
#
# Logging based on packages
#
########################################################################
log4j.logger.org.apache.xml.security=DEBUG, Console
log4j.logger.org.apache.xml.security.test.AllTests=DEBUG, LOGTXT

########################################################################
#
# Logfile definitions 
#
########################################################################
#Console Log
log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.Console.Threshold=DEBUG
log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %C{1}:%L - %m\n
log4j.appender.Console.Target=System.err

#LOGTXT Log
log4j.appender.LOGTXT=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.LOGTXT.File=log.txt
log4j.appender.LOGTXT.Append=true
log4j.appender.LOGTXT.Threshold=DEBUG
log4j.appender.LOGTXT.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.LOGTXT.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %C{1}:%L - %m\n

I expect to see a bunch of output describing the ways xml security is 
failing.  All I see are the following, no DEBUG-level statements:
Dec 15, 2005 3:17:53 PM org.apache.xml.security.Init
INFO: Unable to patch xalan function table.
Dec 15, 2005 3:17:54 PM org.apache.xml.security.Init

Thanks in advance.

I don't know but I use the settings below and it works for me. In my 
build.xml I set the system property log4j.properties to a file 
containing these properties, ex:

       <sysproperty key="log4j.propertyfile"
                    value="${basedir}/log4j.properties"/>


log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, console

log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=log.xml
log4j.appender.file.append=false
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayout


log4j.logger.org.apache=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.apache.xml.security.Init=WARN
