log4j to write Tomcat logs to Windows Event Log
Hi,
I am trying to use log4j.jar to do the logging in Tomcat 7.0.27 (on Windows XP) instead of java.util.logging so that I can append the logs to be output to the Windows Event Log.
I followed the instructions to configure Tomcat to use log4j rather than java.util.logging for all Tomcat's internal logging. (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html)
I created a log4j.properties file and put it in $CATALINA_BASE/lib
I put log4j-1.2.15.jar that I downloaded into $CATALINA_HOME/lib
I put tomcat-juli-adapters.jar that I downloaded into $CATALINA_HOME/lib
I replaced tomcat-juli.jar from $CATALINA_HOME with the tomcat-juli.jar that I downloaded from Tomcat "extras"
It seems that after I replaced the tomcat-juli.jar, I would get the following error in tomcat7-stderr.log
2012-07-06 14:03:56 Commons Daemon procrun stderr initialized
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
I also deleted the logging.properties from $CATALINA_BASE/conf
Can anyone please tell me why this warning is occurring when I replace tomcat-juli.jar? Any help is greatly appreciated.

That looks okay to me, except that I didn't realize that
$CATALINA_BASE/lib would load JAR files contained in it as well as raw
resources, but you are following the documentation faithfully.
Try setting the "-Dlog4j.debug" system property (no specific value is
necessary) and log4j should spew a lot of stuff to stdout that you can
see when it is performing its configuration -- you'll be able to see
when it first initializes and what happens at that time.

Your log4j.properties is wrong?
It looks like it does not specify where the messages from
"org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina" log category should be written.
> I also deleted the logging.properties from $CATALINA_BASE/conf
One should not delete the file itself, but only its contents, leaving
an empty file.

Re: log4j to write Tomcat logs to Windows Event Log
Posted by sandy <sa...@gmail.com>.
Hello,
Did you install Tomcat as a Windows service using the installer for windows?
If that's the case, review your configuration. The same occurred to me and I
solved it by configuring the service. Right-click on tomcat icon at the
systray and then click on "Configure...". In the "Java" tab, in the field
"Java Options", I have the following properties defined:
...
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
7.0\endorsed
...
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\lib\log4j.properties
...
Finally, I created the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
7.0\endorsed because I didn't exist and then I copied log4j.jar inside it.
By doing this, the warning message disappeared, at least that was my case.
I hope my solution works for you as well. Good luck.
Sandy
