Tomcat6+webapps+log4j

Hello to all.

I have tomcat 6 using JULI for logging (logging.properties in conf dir) 
plus several webapps using its own log4j.properties.

I need to centralized all the logs so i thought to put a global/shared 
log4j.properties in $CATALINA_BASE\lib so that tomcat and each webapp 
can be controlled through this file.

The problem i'm facing is that no logs are produced.

At this time i'm trying to configure just TOMCAT, no webapps, to log 
through log4j but still no logs are produced. I've folowed the tutorial 
in Apache logging webpage with the standard log4j.properties. No logs in 
$CATALINA_BASE\logs.

Can you help me saying what mistakes i am doing in this basic 
configuration (tomcat and no apps)?

Thanks.

Tiago

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.
I had already tried your suggestion with no results.
As said in catalina.properties:
"If left as blank, the "common" loader will be used as Catalina's 
"shared" loader."
which is the place where log4j.properties is.

Thank you again.

You might try putting the log4j properties file (or xml) in a shared
loader location.

In catalina.properties add something like this:

	shared.loader=${catalina.base}/conf/properties

and then put the properties file there.

Hello.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, the config file is readable as the logs directory.
I don´t have any catalina.out file because log4j is not able to create it.

Thanks for the help.

Note that catalina.out is created via shell redirection (if you use
startup scripts) or by fd redirection (if you use jsvc, procrun, etc.)
while the other logs are all done by the Java-based logging mechanism.

If you haven't configured JULI or log4j properly, you'll get no logs
except for catalina.out. I think it's actually possible to launch your
JVM in such a way that the script (or jsvc/procrun) has write
permissions but the JVM does not. You'd probably have to really make a
mess of your configuration to achieve that, but it's technically
possible. Double-check your process table to see who the effective uid
is, just in case.

Hi.

Just another symptom: initially i also thought that could be a 
permissions problem but it's strange that JULI could create the log file 
while log4j couldn´t.
I've tried several other approaches but in none the files were created.
I´ve tried the same configuration in Linux. A catalina.out file was 
created but the other log files: manager, host-manager, admin weren´t.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Tiago

Oops - that's what I get for trying this off the cuff.
Nice catch - now I'll go try it properly :|

And of course it works just fine with log4j.properties.

Sigh . . . so much for reading and following instructions.

Hi.

I guess that in your case you just have to put your log4j.properties in 
the lib folder, not the conf folder.

I just tried this - finally upgraded to 6.0.36 on this machine (been 
using 7.0.x, so I haven't thought much about it).

OS:     Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
JRE:    1.7.0_11 64 bit
Tomcat: 6.0.36
Editor: jEdit

I normally use Cygwin to unpack the zip file and edit stuff, but that 
can leave ownership / permissions in strange states. So this time I did 
the following.

1. Unpack the zip file in C:\Users\<me>\Apache\apache-6.0.36 (IZArc)
2. Make the appropriate edits to %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\tomcat-users.xml
3. Add setenv.bat to %CATALINA_HOME%\bin for JMX
4. Add URIEncoding=UTF-8 to Connector elements
5. Enable AccessLogValve
6. Add MySQL and mail jars to %CATALINA_HOME%\lib for some applications

Double-clicking on startup.bat from Windows Explorer results in the 
expected execution. I get entries in the appropriate log files.

Now I do the following:

1. back up tomcat-juli.jar
2. replace it with the tomcat-juli.jar from Extras
3. add log4j-1.2.17.jar to %CATALINA_HOME%\lib
4. add tomcat-juli-adapters.jar to %CATALINA_HOME%\lib
5. Create log4j.properties
    a. Copy from Tomcat web site
    b. Save in %CATALINA_HOME%\conf
6. Remove logging.properties from %CATALINA_HOME%\conf

Start Tomcat by double-clicking startup.bat in %CATALINA_HOME%\bin from 
Windows Explorer.

The result:

I get the same warning (No appenders could be found for logger 
(org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded). I get no log files in 
%CATALINA_HOME%\logs other than the access log.

I also verified that I have no web applications with log4j-1.2.17.jar in 
a WEB-INF/lib, nor do I have log4j.xml floating around in 
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps.

I'm not a Windows person and normally just use JULI logging for Tomcat. 
So maybe I've done something wrong . . . dunno.

Hmm. Maybe I'll try rewriting the log4j.properties as log4j.xml.

. . . . just my two cents.

So where does the Embedded class come in? How do you launch Tomcat?

Hi,

Sorry, i am a newbie in tomcat issues.
I'm just "following orders"... :-)
My configuration is the most standard i could find:

1 step: download apache-tomcat-6.0.36.zip from apache.org
2 - unzip
3 - erase logging.properties from conf folder
4 - copy jar files (juli and juli-adapters)from extras to bin and lib 
directories, respectively.
5 - create a logging.properties file (standard definitions as in 
apache.org) and put it in lib folder.
6- download log4j.1.2.7.jar and put it in lib folder.

And that's it. I'm using tomcat in windows.

Hope this helps you to help me...

Tiago

If you are using Tomcat Embedded, you are entirely responsible for
your own CLASSPATH. The "Embedded" class causes the logger to be
initialized before any real code gets executed (it's in the first
static initializer in the class), so "Embedded" can't change the
CLASSPATH or launch a new ClassLoader for that purpose.

Can you please describe your environment? It's been tough to get
details from you.

Hi.
Thanks for your reply.
Isn´t that assured (log4j in classpath) putting the log4j.properties in 
apache lib folder since i'm using tomcat 6.x?

Thanks again.

This is a symptom of having your log4j.properties in the wrong place.

You never said anything about using Tomcat Embedded. If you are using
Embedded Tomcat, you'll have to make sure that your log4j.properties
file is in the CLASSPATH of the JVM when it starts.

Hi,
Thanks, one more time, for your reply.
The problem with log4j 1.x is that it outputs the following error:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger 
(org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

I know that this is a common error, usually related with classpath 
problems. In my case, the configuration i'm using doesn´t seem to be 
have those sort of problems....

Any idea?
Tiago

File name is not a problem, but using a wrong version of the library
is a problem.
There are a couple of issues to start

1. The Apache Commons Logging library is designed and compiled to use Log4J 1.x

Log4J 2 docs say that you need an adapter to use it with Commons
Logging. (I have not used it yet so I do not know what mileage is
here). YMMV.

2. "log4j.properties" is not a valid configuration file for log4j 2.
Its configuration files are either XML or JSON.
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html

Try with 1.2.17
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/download.html

Hi...

Just a final tip, i´m using log4j-api-2.0-beta3 as my log4j.jar (without 
renaming it).
Any problem with that?

Thanks.

I think Konstantin meant "is the config file readable" or perhaps "is
the logs/ directory writable". Of course, all permissions must be
relative to the effective uid running Tomcat.

Check catalina.out. If you don't have a log4j.properties file (or
similar) available, I believe you'll get a message on stdout saying
"You haven't configured log4j properly" and you won't get any further
log messages anywhere.

Ok, i think i've done it, namely:

  * Put|log4j.jar|and|tomcat-juli-adapters.jar|from "extras"
    into|$CATALINA_HOME/lib|.
  * Replace|$CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar|with|tomcat-juli.jar|from
    "extras".


The problem i'm facing is that no logs are produced. At this time i'm 
trying to configure just TOMCAT, no webapps, to log through log4j but 
still no logs are produced. I've folowed the tutorial in Apache logging 
webpage with the standard log4j.properties. No logs in $CATALINA_BASE\logs.

It is configured in its standard version ( 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html), which i am using.

There is no file, tomcat does not create one and that is my problem.

Which version?
Did you install it from a zip file downloaded from tomcat.apache.org?

OK, but make sure that all jars are in their proper places. Sometimes
people read the doc incorrectly.

Which tutorial did you follow?

Did you configure them to be written to "${catalina.base}/logs" ?
Maybe it tries to write them elsewhere?

Is the file readable?
