Log4JLogSystem...
Howdy folks...
Was wondering who, if anyone, uses the Log4JLogSystem.
My application already has log4j configured, with log4j.properties doing
the things I want it to do. I'm attempting to use the Log4JLogSystem,
but it seems to insist on appending its logs to its own logfile, and
doesn't send them to my normal appender. Plus, there seems to be no
way of setting the Category that Velocity will use.
I'm on the verge of writing my own Log4JLogSystem to work more intuitively
and friendly with an existing log4j system an application might already
have.
Any comments? Someone want to tell me that I'm simply using velocity's
Log4JLogSystem the WrongWay(tm)?
thanks,
-bob

I am using Velocity 1.1-rc2 and Log4J 1.1.3. This may or may not be
helpful, but it's before the new handling of Log4J logging.
The velocity.properties file has:
runtime.log=/WEB-INF/logs/velocity.log
runtime.log.logsystem.class=org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.Log4JLogSystem
runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.pattern=%d - %m%n
runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.file.size=10000
runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.file.backups=1
In the MainController (relevant code only):
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;
public class MainController extends VelocityServlet {
protected Properties loadConfiguration(ServletConfig config )
throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {
/* get properties file and load it from web application root */
String propsFile = config.getInitParameter(INIT_PROPS_KEY);
Properties p = new Properties();
if ( propsFile != null ) {
String realPath = context.getRealPath(propsFile);
if ( realPath != null ) {
propsFile = realPath;
}
p.load( new FileInputStream(propsFile) );
PropertyConfigurator.configure(propsFile);
}
}
}

Si' -
VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
ve.setProperty( RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS,
"org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.SimpleLog4JLogSystem" );
ve.setProperty("runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.category", <your_categoryname>);
ve.init();

Yah, I think so. Have only looked at the Javadoc, not the sources
yet. One question: how do I set the Category for it to use? Can't
seem to find a setCategory(...) method. I'm assuming it greps some
property from the runtime, no?

That is what you want, right? :)

Hokie dokie. That's in the 1.3 pre-release only, I'm assuming? I'm just
working with 1.2 at this moment, which doesn't include it. Will upgrade
soon, though.
Thanks for the pointer.

The Log4JLogSystem is deprecated.
Use the SimpleLog4JLogSystem. You set up log4j, and then tell velocity what
category to use...
