Cannot configure apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with apache-log4j-1 for time based log rotation
Hi Friends,
Tomcat version: apache-tomcat-5.5.27
Operating System: SunOS 10.0 / Linux
Problem:
I've tried many times to configure apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with
apache-log4j-1.2.16, but it is still failing to load classes from configure
apache-log4j-extras-1.0 JAR file.
What I want to do: Actually I want to do time based log rotation the my
application specific log files. I could able to configure using
'net.cp.ps.sdk.util.log.DailyRollingFileAppender' class, but few problems
are reported on Apache site for this class.
Solution I can think of: So, I have to look for another option for
'net.cp.ps.sdk.util.log.DailyRollingFileAppender' class, and I found
'org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender' class and can use
'org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy' in that.
Steps I performed so far:
1. Downloaded apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with apache-log4j-1.2.16 JAR files
from web.
2. Renamed apache-log4j-1.2.16.jar to simple 'log4j.jar'.
3. Copied apache-log4j-extras-1.0.jar in ~/WEB-INF/lib directory, where my
old log4j is present.
4. Extracted new log4j.jar (1.2.16).
5. Edited the pom.xml file from new 'log4j.jar' to include
'apache-log4j-extras-1.0'. Steps are described here: (
<https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml>
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml).
6. Created jar file again, after editing pom.xml.
7. Then I added following configuration block, in my application specific
log-conf.xml (present in ~/WEB-INF/etc/):
<!-- Presentation Server Access log appender -->
<appender name="access-log"
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<File>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log</File>
<rollingPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePa
ttern> </rollingPolicy>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS}
[%t] %c %x%n %-5p - %m%n"/> </layout>
</appender> but, still I am getting following exception:
7202 [main] WARN net.cp.ps.sdk.server.ServerConfig - thread[main] Unable to
parse invite request mappings: [The XPath='invite-requests/invite-mapping'
does not exist]
7214 [main] WARN net.cp.ps.sdk.server.ServerConfig - thread[main] Unable to

Can someone please help me with this, what's going wrong and what I am
missing here?
Thanks in advance.

The instructions presume you are using Maven2 to perform your builds.
Apparently that is not the case for you. Modifying pom.xml inside log4j.jar
will do you no good (nor harm). It is totally inconsequential to your
issue.
Whatever build you are using (Ant?), make sure that it places the following
2 jars inside WEB-INF/lib of your WAR file (or directory)....
~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/lib/log4j.jar
~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-extras.jar

Like I mentioned before, this configuration looks like it is for Logback.
Log4j doesn't support stuff like <File> and <FileNamePattern> elements. The
link you originally provided gives you the correct configuration info....
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml
And that doc points to this doc, which provides the defacto information...

RE: Cannot configure apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with apache-log4j-1 for time based log rotation
Posted by Saurabh Agrawal <sa...@criticalpath.net>.
Thanks Jake.
Yes, I am running server in standalone mode (~/bin/startup.sh) [OS -
Linux/Solaris]. No IDE is being used.
My application is deployed on tomcat server under ~/webapps/cp/.
I couldn't find my application specific pom.xml file, so I did update the
one present in log4j.jar. If that is not the correct way to do this, can I
use web.xml to define dependency?
Also, we are using ~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/etc/log-conf.xml file to add
following configuration:
<!-- Presentation Server Access log appender -->
<appender name="access-log"
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<File>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log</File>
<rollingPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePa
ttern> </rollingPolicy>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS}
[%t] %c %x%n %-5p - %m%n"/> </layout>
</appender>
What I want is that a new log file should be created in the mid night, and
logging should be continued in that file. Old log file should be renamed
with access.log.<date>.
Regards,
Saurabh Agrawal

Whoops. I guess I did miss that. That presents a problem, though. Tomcat
uses child-first classloading by default, at least when running under the
standalone scripts.
How are you running it? Are you running it within an IDE or something?
Also, I took a closer look at your config. It looks like Logback
configuration, not Log4j configuration. See here for config...
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/r
olling/RollingFileAppender.html
The config at the link you mentioned (
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml ) actually looks correct to
me, but is different than what you mentioned below.
You also mention that you edited the pom.xml file in log4j.jar? That's not
he pom file to edit. The pom.xml to edit is your own pom.xml to contain the
dependency.
Please check the resultant WAR file to ensure that the files you think are
supposed to be there actually are there.

Sorry, Jake. But I think you've missed the server name in my first email.
It's Apache Tomcat.
***
Tomcat version: apache-tomcat-5.5.27

Thanks for your help.

What server do you use? This should be part of your server documentation,
but if it's Weblogic I might be able to tell you. But that also depends on
the server version.

Posted by Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>.
What server do you use? This should be part of your server documentation, but
if it's Weblogic I might be able to tell you. But that also depends on the
server version.

Dear Jake,
Thanks for replying this query.
Could you please tell me how to configure the application to use child-first
classloading?

My guess is that you have classloading issues. What server are you using?
I'll bet it is not configured to use child-first (a.k.a parent-last)
classloading and that the server has a copy of log4j.jar in the server
classpath.
In this situation, the log4j.jar in the server classpath would take
precedence to any log4j.jar you included in WEB-INF/lib and be unable to
find the rolling.RollingFileAppender located in the extras jar stored in
WEB-INF/lib.
You can resolve this either by placing the extras jar in the server
classpath alongside the log4j.jar already there or configure your
application to use child-first classloading.
