log4j logging config for a struts app - seeing struts msgs

[Ke...@indus.com]

Hi  - I am using Commons Logging/log4j in my struts app. When I added my
commons-logging.properties and log4j.properties to the classpath in my
struts webapp it enabled a huge amount of logging within the Struts
framework (ie I see loads of INFO and DEBUG messages from Struts framework
classes in addition to my own messages).

I don't understand enough about the logf4 config to configure this right.
I'm sure my config is too broad and that is why I am seeing all the
additional messages.

I tried setting the rootLogger level to ERROR which I though would restrict
the msgs, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.

I have also set the detail and debug values in web.xml to 0, but this
doesn't seem to have any effect either.

Heres the content of my log4j.properties:

log4j.rootLogger=ERROR

#define logger 'iaw_admin'
log4j.logger.iaw_admin=DEBUG, Console, Rolling

log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601}  %5p [%t]
(%F:%L) - %m%n

log4j.appender.Rolling=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.Rolling.File=iaw_admin.log
log4j.appender.Rolling.MaxFileSize=10KB
log4j.appender.Rolling.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.Rolling.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.Rolling.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601}  %p %t %c -
%m%n

I'd like to restrict the logging to either a) only my classes (based on a
package name?), or b) only see errors from the logger I have configured
here, iaw_admin, and turn all other log msgs off.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Kevin

[Robert <rm...@bull-enterprises.com>]

Try adding something along the lines of this to your log4j.properties file:

log4j.logger.org.apache=WARN (or ERROR, etc.)

Which means that the packages org.apache and below will log at level 
WARN, ERROR, etc.

You can also specify complete class names like:

log4j.logger.org.apache.struts.actions.Action=(level)

HTH,
Robert
