JBoss working but

[Skid <ge...@mediabids.com>]

OK I have Roller 4 working on JBoss4 with DB2. A coworker has wrangled mod_jk
and mod_rewrite into shape and all looks great.

But I still am mystified by what is going on with logging. As I understand
it the log4j.properties
file in conf has no effect any longer? It doesn't seem to and I've googled
around a bit on this
and am still a bit mystified about what roller is doing with logging. As is
it seems to suppress
all logging in all apps running in the jboss instance I'm deployed in. 

So is there a easy way to either configure roller to play nice with other
apps or can I
disable logging entirely in roller so that it won't break logging elsewhere. 
The blog is a small part of our site so I really don't want to spend much
more time on messing with
this if possible.

Yeah, using log4j in an app server environment has always been quirky. 
I get this same problem running Roller on JBoss.  Have been meaning
to research a solution forever and just haven't found time.  But in the
meantime, note that logging does still happen.  It's just that the
Roller config somehow supercedes the container config.

Look in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/logs for a file named roller.log. 
You *might* have to pre-create that directory and/or even touch the file
before starting JBoss, but it should work.  Everything that gets logged
after the "INFO  [STDOUT] Roller Weblogger: Successfully loaded
 > custom properties file from classpath" line will go into roller.log
instead of JBoss' server.log.




TTYL,

Well that doesn't seem to work either.
I tried it.
It's odd. If I run from an IDE typically I can see all the System.out's 
in the console area at the bottom. But if I run with roller deployed
all output ends at "INFO  [STDOUT] Roller Weblogger: Successfully loaded 
custom properties file from classpath"
Doesn't matter if I have configured log4j in roller-custom.properties or 
not. No more console messages and no logging.

I can't explain why Roller's Log4J would supress logging from other
apps, but I can explain what's happening with log4j.properties: with
Roller 4.0, you put your Log4J configuration directly into your
roller-custom.properties file.
