Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Hi

I have recently upgraded from Tomcat 5.5 to 6.0 and from Java 1.5
to 6.

I use Log4J for all my web application logging and have discovered
that after the upgrade, any exceptions thrown in the web application
are not logged to my web application log, but to the top-level Tomcat
log.

Does anybody know how I can make sure any java.lang.Exceptions
thrown are logged to the web application log? It used to work fine with
the previous versions of Tomcat (4, 5 and 5.5).

My web application log4j.properties file is as follows if that helps:

log4j.rootCategory=ERROR, logfile

log4j.appender.logfile=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.logfile.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.logfile.File=/logs/tomcat/webapp.log
log4j.appender.logfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p [%c] - %m%n

Thanks

Ashley

Re: Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Posted by Filip Hanik - Dev Lists <de...@hanik.com>.
what is missing from the Tomcat 6 docs, is that you put log4j.properties 
in TC_HOME/lib to configure Tomcat's global logging

RE: Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Posted by Ashley Hollands <as...@xsdi.com>.
Filip

At the beginning of this conversation you said that you would validate
my web app for me.

I have created a very simple web app that shows the difference in
behaviour in terms of where a RuntimeException is logged in Tomcat
5.5.23 and 6.0.14. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not Log4J is
turned on at the Tomcat level.

The web app consists of an "emtpy" web xml, 3 simple JSP pages,
the commons-logging and log4j Jars and a log4j.properties file.

Shall I send the War to devlists@hanik.com or do you have an
alternative place you would like it sent?

Regards

Ashley

you are right, debug has to be enabled, I'm gonna change that right away.
basically, if you have classes outside of the scope of Tribes classloader,
you are better off just sending a byte[] and do the
serialization/deserialization yourself.

Yes - that is basically how I dealt with it in the end.

By the way, I have followed the Log4J instructions again (they don't say
that
you need to copy commons-logging.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/lib - do you?
I did in any case) but I still have the same problem.

I know that Log4J is working and it logs the exception in the Tomcat log
file
at the ERROR level, but still not in the web app log. Am I right in thinking
that
if the rootCategory is set to ERROR in my web app log4j.properties then
it should be logging all exceptions in the web app log?

you are right, debug has to be enabled, I'm gonna change that right away.
basically, if you have classes outside of the scope of Tribes 
classloader, you are better off just sending a byte[] and do the 
serialization/deserialization yourself.

RE: Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Posted by Ashley Hollands <as...@xsdi.com>.
There wasn't any trace at all - I added my own logging to tell me
that one server had sent the message, but on the other server
there was no sign of why it wasn't being delivered to the ChannelListener
until I turned on debug logging and then it reported the
ClassNotFoundException, but not at the SEVERE or WARNING level.

Seeing as it is the first time I have used Tribes, it is possible that
I did something wrong - but I don't think so.

did you by any chance save the stacktrace or was there none? I thought
tribes was pretty good about not swallowing any errors. but I would like to
improve if there is possibility to do so

did you by any chance save the stacktrace or was there none? I thought 
tribes was pretty good about not swallowing any errors. but I would like 
to improve if there is possibility to do so

RE: Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Posted by Ashley Hollands <as...@xsdi.com>.
OK - I'll run through the steps from scratch again and see if I have
more joy this time.

By the way, I have been using Tribes in my application and it works
really well. I did have a problem initially as I was sending a class
that did not exist in Tomcat's classpath, only in the web application
and there was no error logged anywhere to report the ClassNotFoundException
- can I suggest that this exception is logged somewhere to help
people develop using Tribes?

Thanks for all your help.

Ashley

it should do it, if you removed tomcat's logging manager and replaced it
with log4j so you might have just missed a step

RE: Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Posted by Ashley Hollands <as...@xsdi.com>.
What is confusing me is that I never had to catch the exception and
log it from within my application in Tomcat 4, 5 or 5.5 - it just appeared
in the web app log automatically.

Is there no way to configure Log4J/Tomcat 6 to do the same thing without
having to do as you suggest?

it will only log to the webapp.log if your application catches the
exception, then issues a log.error("msg",exception) (tomcat will do the same
assuming it was correctly configured)

if you provide a sample war, I can validate it for you

Re: Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Posted by Filip Hanik - Dev Lists <de...@hanik.com>.
it will only log to the webapp.log if your application catches the 
exception, then issues a log.error("msg",exception) (tomcat will do the 
same assuming it was correctly configured)

if you provide a sample war, I can validate it for you

RE: Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Posted by Ashley Hollands <as...@xsdi.com>.
I did build the extra JAR files as described in the documentation.

Whether I am using Log4J at the Tomcat level, or using Tomcat's
default logging, I do get log messages in my web app log. For
example if I add the following to my web app log4j.properties:

log4j.logger.com.mycompany=INFO

it logs these messages to the web app log no problem - both with
Log4J and Tomcat's default logging at the top-level.

My problem is that it isn't logging Exceptions even though as I
understand it, it should be logging anything with priority ERROR
or higher (lower?) that is generated by the web app to the
web app log.

you want it to go to webapp.log, as you configured below?
and you did build the additional JARs that Tomcat uses and removed the usage
of Tomcat's own logging.
from your explanation, it doesn't sound like you took these steps, cause if
you did, tomcat would log into your log4j, and not its own mechanism

RE: Logging Problem on Upgrade to Tomcat 6

Posted by Ashley Hollands <as...@xsdi.com>.
Thanks for the reply Filip

> if you want a global log4j (instead of tomcat's own framework)...

I have configured Tomcat to use Log4J at the top-level using
the documentation you recommend no problem, but it doesn't solve
my problem.

What I want is for the Exception to get logged at the web application
level (I'm not bothered whether it also gets logged at the Tomcat level
or not - Using Tomcat 5.5, it used to get logged at the web application
level and not at the Tomcat level at all).
