Re: logging log4j of my application

How do you deploy the log4j Jar? Which place? Several places?

Where do you keep your log4j configuration file? One file, several ones?

Which mechanism did you choose to publish the files to log4j?

The questions concerning "several" always mean: are those things only in 
your webapp, or also added to the container installation?

Depending on the answers, it's relatively easy (after understanding 
tomcat class loaders and log4j default configuration mechanisms) to 
explain, which config gets evaluated and why.

Rainer

Re: AW: AW: logging log4j of my application

Posted by Mirek Kopriva <mi...@gmail.com>.
Ok My problem is solved.
After reading some more documentation on commons-logging.
The trick is in $TOMCAT_HOME\bin\commons-logging-api.jar. It doesn't contain
the
Adapters for Log4j. Because it's on the container class path, it is always
used, even if you put newer version
into webapp\WEB-INF\lib
After replacing it with commons-logging-api-1.1.jar (renamed because tomcat
has this name hard coded somewhere)
and putting commons-logging-adapters-1.1.jar into webapp\WEB-INF\lib,
it's all good.

Re: AW: AW: logging log4j of my application

Posted by Mirek Kopriva <mi...@gmail.com>.
Marc,
What jar are you talking about? I have a similar problem. Got log4j  working
with my application based on spring running on tomcat 5.5.17
but have troubles to set up logging for Spring/Whatever is using commons
logging in my log4j xml.

Searching on the net reveals that this might be tomcat/commons-logging
problems, but following various suggestions didn't help me.

I won't put here various configuration files as they are correct (working
with my app./ log file gets created - appender for spring only, but no
logging messages for spring goes into it nor to anywhere else).

I have commons-logging-api.jar in $TOMCAT_HOME.bin (v 1.0.4)
log4j.1.2.4.jar + commons-loggin.jar in WEB-INF/lib.

No other log4j configuration/jars lying around neither is set in tomcats
configs. I also tried it with spring's jpetstore sample application,
but didn't work either.

Does anybody have any idea? Or an idea how to try to discover the problem
(no logging, no pointers)?
Thanks a lot,
Mirek

Betreff: AW: AW: AW: logging log4j of my application

First of all thanks for your help!!! But I didn't find a solution until now.
After revising the source code if found the main problem. I am using commons
logging and not log4j. By using log4j all works fine.

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;

private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(User.class);

However with commons logging it doesn't. 

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(User.class);

May somebody have an idea to solve the problem at the bottom with this new
aspect?

Regards
marc

Your config looks OK to me.

Sometimes such a thing happens, if one starts the process unintended as 
root, who then owns the log file and after starting again as non-root, 
the process user can not write to the file...

You can add "-Dlog4j.debug" to the startup options of your Tomcat. Then 
catalina.out will contain information about log4j parsing its config, like

log4j: Using URL [file:.../conf/log4j.properties] for automatic log4j 
configuration.
log4j: Reading configuration from URL file:.../conf/log4j.properties
log4j: Parsing for [root] with value=[DEBUG,FILE].
...
log4j: End of parsing for "FILE".
log4j: Setting property [file] to [/home/jung/.../logs/RPSSERVER.log].
log4j: setFile called: /home/jung/.../logs/RPSSERVER.log, true
...

Maybe you will detect something strange in this output.

Rainer

AW: AW: AW: logging log4j of my application

Posted by Marc Rameder <ma...@rameder.net>.
First of all thanks for your help!!! But I didn't find a solution until now.
After revising the source code if found the main problem. I am using commons
logging and not log4j. By using log4j all works fine.

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;

private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(User.class);

However with commons logging it doesn't. 

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(User.class);

May somebody have an idea to solve the problem at the bottom with this new
aspect?

Regards
marc

Your config looks OK to me.

Sometimes such a thing happens, if one starts the process unintended as 
root, who then owns the log file and after starting again as non-root, 
the process user can not write to the file...

You can add "-Dlog4j.debug" to the startup options of your Tomcat. Then 
catalina.out will contain information about log4j parsing its config, like

log4j: Using URL [file:.../conf/log4j.properties] for automatic log4j 
configuration.
log4j: Reading configuration from URL file:.../conf/log4j.properties
log4j: Parsing for [root] with value=[DEBUG,FILE].
...
log4j: End of parsing for "FILE".
log4j: Setting property [file] to [/home/jung/.../logs/RPSSERVER.log].
log4j: setFile called: /home/jung/.../logs/RPSSERVER.log, true
...

Maybe you will detect something strange in this output.

AW: AW: logging log4j of my application

Posted by Marc Rameder <ma...@rameder.net>.
The output of the log file should be information about hibernate, spring and
my development in the net.thefource package. 
I have used this log4j.properties for a GUI application where it is working
fine and also by testing the server with JUnit all debug information are
displayed.
I am starting the tomcat with the startup.bat. Hence it is not a service.

A example for the GUI application would be:
14:07:25,500 () [INFO ] CollectionFactory (<clinit>) - JDK 1.4+ collections
available

All right, so we assume, there are no log4j things lying around in your 
Tomcat apart from your webapp. Also please check, that the running 
Tomcat process has no -Dlog4j.configuration  in its commandline.

It could be, that you have a servlet initialization, that configures 
log4j via its API, but let's assume this is not the case.

Then even without the context-param, the log4j.properties in your 
WEB-INF/classes should be found as the default configuration. Maybe the 
context-param is an indicator, that there is explicit log4j 
initialization code in your webapp and you are not using autoconfiguration.

In both cases we assume it really picks up the 
WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties.

So if a file gets created but nothing gets logged into it, we should 
have a look at the contents of the log4j.properties file. You should 
post it.

Also: which messages would you expect there?

Regards,

Rainer

Re: AW: logging log4j of my application

Posted by Rainer Jung <ra...@kippdata.de>.
All right, so we assume, there are no log4j things lying around in your 
Tomcat apart from your webapp. Also please check, that the running 
Tomcat process has no -Dlog4j.configuration  in its commandline.

It could be, that you have a servlet initialization, that configures 
log4j via its API, but let's assume this is not the case.

Then even without the context-param, the log4j.properties in your 
WEB-INF/classes should be found as the default configuration. Maybe the 
context-param is an indicator, that there is explicit log4j 
initialization code in your webapp and you are not using autoconfiguration.

In both cases we assume it really picks up the 
WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties.

So if a file gets created but nothing gets logged into it, we should 
have a look at the contents of the log4j.properties file. You should 
post it.

Also: which messages would you expect there?

Rainer

AW: logging log4j of my application

Posted by Marc Rameder <ma...@rameder.net>.
I deploy a war file with the following content.
WEB-INF:
	classes:
	   contains the log4j.properties file in the root directory. Only
one 	   exists.
	lib:
	   contains the log4j-1.2.9.jar not in any other directory

my web.xml contains

<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath:log4j.properties</param-value>
  </context-param>

I hope that's the information you ask for!
thanks
marc

How do you deploy the log4j Jar? Which place? Several places?

Where do you keep your log4j configuration file? One file, several ones?

Which mechanism did you choose to publish the files to log4j?

The questions concerning "several" always mean: are those things only in 
your webapp, or also added to the container installation?

Depending on the answers, it's relatively easy (after understanding 
tomcat class loaders and log4j default configuration mechanisms) to 
explain, which config gets evaluated and why.

Rainer
