tomcat and log4j version - any dependency issues?
Hi,
I am using Tomcat 5.5.28 with JDK 1.5 (and 1.6 on different machine). Right
now I have log4j 1.2 version, but I would like use log4j 1.3+ now. Are there
any dependency/support issues that I should consider?

i downloaded the latest pom.xml from http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/logging/log4j/tags/v1_2_15_rc6/pom.xml?view=co
for log4j plugin and i see 5 dependencies:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>ant</groupId>
<artifactId>ant-nodeps</artifactId>
<version>1.6.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>ant-contrib</groupId>
<artifactId>ant-contrib</artifactId>
<version>1.0b2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>ant</groupId>
<artifactId>ant-junit</artifactId>
<version>1.6.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>

<dependency>
<groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
<artifactId>tools</artifactId>
<version>1.4.2</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${tools.jar}</systemPath>

Have a look at the "extras" for 1.2. Many of the rolling policy
additions have been backported to 1.2. I've got no experience on my own
with those, and since they are not bundled, they might still not be in
wide use, so use with care:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/apidocs/index.html
There's not much docs for it around, you can get some things from the
javadoc, other info from the abandoned 1.3 branch might apply to the extras.
One example for what you are looking for could be
TimeBasedRollingPolicy. One example for how to use it can be found on
http://wiki.apache.org/logging-log4j/Log4jXmlFormat

Rainer

Thanks for sharing this info.
I was considering 1.3 version for better management - purging log files
before certain date, log4j 1.3 provides max. backup index option with
DailyRollingFileAppender. I am also looking at logrotate and cronolog for
this, but not sure if I could use it in conjunction with
DailyRollingFileAppender. Any thoughts?

Citing from the Log4J homepage:
===
Apache log4j has three development branches: a stable branch, 1.2; a
discontinued branch, 1.3; and an experimental branch, 2.0.
Apache log4j 1.2 releases are widely deployed. Development on the 1.2
branch is generally limited to bug fixing and minor enhancements.
Apache log4j 1.3 alpha releases are in limited use. Apache log4j 1.3
added many interesting features, but was compatibility with log4j 1.2
was problematic. Many features original developed for log4j 1.3 have
been back-ported as companions for log4j 1.2. No further development is
anticipated for log4j 1.3.
Apache log4j 2.0 is an experimental development branch for logging
services designed for Java 5 and later.
===
So I think you should reconsider switching to 1.3. It's a dead end
street. They recently released 1.2.16.

Rainer
