Logging in Phoenix

Hi,

I'm playing with phoenix and SAR files and I find it uncomfortable
to check the logfiles for errors & exception. I'm sure there is
a way to log all the stuff to the console - but where? ;) Can
anybody point my nose to the right place to search for this information?

Another topic for me the ComponentSelector stuff:
the DataSourceComponentSelector/ExcaliburComponentSelector as
described in the excellent "Developing with Avalon" text works
for me - but I'm not able to do this with own (basic) components:
is there a good point to read/explore code to get this working?

This is a implementation independent logging interface.  When you 
invoke operation on this the actual logging operartion gets passed 
to your preferred implementation (LogKit, Log4J, JDK1.4 logging, etc.).

> org.apache.logger.Logger

This is the LogKit logging implementation that is typically 
wrapped within a org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger.

Cheers, Steve.

Thanks! This helped a lot!!

Can anybody tell me difference between

org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger
org.apache.logger.Logger

Both appear but they are not compatible?!

Hi.

Use version 1.1 logger in environment.xml. like bellow...

  <logs version="1.1">
    <factories>
      <factory type="block"
      class="org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.factory.FileTargetFactory"/>
    </factories>

    <categories>
      <category name="" log-level="DEBUG">
        <log-target id-ref="default"/>
      </category>
    </categories>

    <targets>
      <block id="default">
        <filename>${app.home}/logs/rts-stock.log</filename>
        <append>false</append>
        <format type="pattern"><![CDATA[%{time} [%7.7{priority}]
<<%{category}>>: %{message}\n%{throwable}]]></format>
      </block>
    </targets>
  </logs>


and use StreamTargetFactory. see javadoc of
org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.factory.StreamTargetFactory for
configuration.

Write your own LogTargetFactory. I've attached my ScreenTargetFactory that 
you can use as a starting point. You'll have to remove a few lines in 
getFormatter() that reference a custom Formatter.

This will only assist you in dumping out your SAR's logfiles to System.out. 
The logfile that phoenix generates is still output to disk only (but the only 
exceptions I find in there are failures of my SAR to init/start successfully).
