JDBCAppender fails to pass connection URL string
Hi,
We're having a lot of trouble getting the JDBCAppender to write to our
PostgreSQL database. There's probably a configuration error somewhere, but
we haven't been able to find it. And I have been searching and trying for
several days now, with no progress at all.
Even though we specify a connection URL in the JDNI source (see below), it
always ends with the JDBCAppender complaining that:
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for
connect URL 'null'
The Appender should write the data to our database at server "foobar",
database "logging-tst". Using the same credentials in SquirrelSQL, with
the same JDBC driver, I can connect to that database and query the table
specified in the log4j.xml (schema: "logging", table: "usage"; names being
case-insensitive).
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Environment:
- Centos 7
- Apache Tomcat 8.5.32
- log4j-2.11
We created a servlet HTTP filter into a JAR, compiled against:
WEB-INF/lib:
log4j-api-2.11.0.jar log4j-core-2.11.0.jar
servlet-api.jar
This servlet put()'s certain fields into the ThreadContext, which we then
attempt to access through %X{...} in the log4j2.xml, appending those
fields as a
row to an existing table in our database.
We had this set-up working previously with log4j-1.something in an MS SQL
'05
DB, all on Windows 2003 server (which we are migrating away from due to
performance issues).
Files within the web application:
WEB-INF/lib/

Thanks for the examples, much appreciated. It confirmed that I was
probably doing things correctly on the log4j front, at least.
As it turns out, the problem was with Tomcat's documentation about how to
set up a JNDI connection. They refer to a META-INF/context.xml file in the
web-app directory, but in our case the context files are located in the
${CATALINA_OUT}/conf/Catalina/localhost directory and point to the
locations where the web-app files can be found. Placing the <Resource
.../> there got us rid of the error about the empty jdbc URL and driver
name, at least.
I'm almost there. I can select from the database with a slightly expanded
variation on my previous Java class, so we are able to connect at least -
now to figure out why the actual webapp is not logging anything...
Should be easy enough to add a log4j JDBCAppender for my test-webapp.

Re: Betr: Re: JDBCAppender fails to pass connection URL string
Posted by Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>.
No, it doesn’t necessarily mean that. Some of the unit tests configure things programmatically by directly calling the plugins.
If you look at the documentation you will see <DriverManager> and <PoolingDriver> as connection sources you can configure. You should try that. I don’t know why examples weren’t added to the doc of how to use them but they should be straightforward.

Betr: Re: JDBCAppender fails to pass connection URL string

...Hang on... Does that mean I'm using a feature from an untested code
path?
I'm created a dumbed down servlet with the same configuration files and it
looks like the context from InitialContext() is empty - that certainly
would explain the null database driver and the empty connection string.
I put the above under Tomcat with a small context-file in
${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/Catalina/localhost and got the output:
Context contains 0 items.
So it would seem that either my context initialization in de attached Java
class is incorrect, or my context is set up incorrectly somehow.
When adding code to get the DB connection from a DataSource from that
context to that class, I get the same exception as the one I get in my
attempts to set up log4j2. I suspect that the problem is there, but have
no clue where to look.
Is it required to also set up the same JNDI resource in tomcat's
server.xml? I think I tried that, but I removed it as it didn't seem to
help and I don't like having definitions duplicated all over the place.
Regards,
Alban.

Re: JDBCAppender fails to pass connection URL string
Posted by Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>.
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html#JDBCAppender <http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html#JDBCAppender> does have sample configurations but there is not one with the configuration I would expect to use where you can specify the driver class, user name and password.

Unit tests in the log4j project. All our components have examples in unit
tests.

You mean to say I should write some Java code to test the JNDI connection
as defined in the Tomcat configuration? Or are the unit tests you refer to
existing code that is available somewhere?
Either way, I have no idea which unit tests you're referring to? I'm also
not quite sure what I'm looking for here, I haven't done this before and I
don't write Java code on a regular basis. Just created a few snippets to
do small stuff here and there, such as this case where we're wrapping a
servlet to have some logging of HTTP context information to a database
table.
There's no requirement here to do the logging through JNDI either; we used
a direct connection through log4j.xml previously and that had some issues
(mostly losing connection when the DB server got kicked). JNDI just seemed
to be the easiest way to set up a connection pool for the JDBCAppender,
but now it's starting to look like JNDI is anything but.

Alban.
