Custom Appender Close() method
I have a custom appender that allows for the buffering
of messages. However, the messages left in the buffer
when the application finishes are not gettign logged.
It appears that the close() method is not getting
called.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Problem with multiple appenders.
Posted by Sudarshan Krishnaprasad <sk...@cait.org>.
Hi,
The log4j.properties file is as shown below. I have 2 appenders set and
wish to log the different levels to different places.
log4j.properties
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.jdbc.JDBCAppender
log4j.appender.R.URL=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test
log4j.appender.R.user=test
log4j.appender.R.password=test
log4j.appender.R.sql=INSERT INTO logTable
(timestamp,priority,filename,msg) VALUES ('%d', '%p', '%c', '%m')
log4j.rootLogger=ALL, stdout
log4j.logger.database=ERROR, R
The problem I am having is that all the messages are getting logged at
the console but none of them are getting logged to the database.
If I change the file a little bit and set the root logger to log at
both the places like:
log4j.rootLogger=ALL, stdout, R
Now all the messages are logged in both the places. Could anyone please
tell me if the above methods for having multiple loggers is correct.
Regards,
Sudarshan.

I reviewed the API documentation and it appears that
the secret here is to call the LogManager.shutdown()
static method.
Thanks,

Ken,
I'm not sure if you can rely on the close method of all appenders are being
closed upon shutdown. You can try to add a shutdown-hook that manually
conducts this for your partiular appender (see
java.lang.Runtime.addShutdownHook), but read the documentation carefully.
