Log4j permissions

[Rakesh Patel <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I hope someone can help. It seems that log4j is not allowed to do 
certain things with the default java security permissions that come with 
my app server.

Can someone show me what they typically add to give log4j permissions? 
I'm having problems with deleting files using the rollingfileappender 
and sending emails with the smtpappender.

I know this is not log4j-specific but to do with java permissions in 
general, but i found the java docs quite light on this.

Thanks

Rakesh

The problem has something to do with the app server and the java 
security settings. It seems to be log4j that triggers it.

The error I was getting was about propertyfile permissions. I got it 
when i uncommented the SMTPAppender. Why that appender, i don't know.

This is what I added to the server.policy file in the app server to get 
rid of that problem:

grant {
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write";
};

The other problem relates to RollingFileAppender and deleting the last 
file. That issue is still outstanding. I'll try and post the error 
message when i get it but i think by default, log4j (or any jar) cannot 
delete files on the OS.

Cheers

I have not had any problems with this.  Please give more details on
your environment.  Are you use the user that runs the app server has
the correct OS permissions?
