xml configuration file example
Hi,
I feel this information is probably out there somewhere, but I have looked
everywhere I can think of, so I'm turning to you for help! I basically just
want an example xml configuration file that works with the DOMConfigurator.
I've been using a PropertyConfigurator, and I'd like to use an xml file
instead. I don't know what format the DOMConfigurator expects, or how to
work it out.
My properties file looks like this:
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, stdout , file
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.File=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=ecore.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n
This is really simple - two appenders, one to standard output one to file.
Can anyone tell me what this would look like as an xml file suitable for the
DOMConfigurator?
Just to show I have done my homework and aren't just whining :-) I have
checked:
** the javadoc for DOMConfigurator
This just told me where the dtd is. Am I supposed to read this dtd
to find out the format the DOMConfigurator expects?
** the FAQ, which says:
Is there example code for using log4j?
There is a directory containing examples in org/log4j/examples. See
also org/log4j/xml/examples.
I couldn't these paths in the jar I downloaded, and I couldn't find
any sample xml files. What am I missing?
** the archive for this list.
I didn't seem to get any relevant hits when I searched. Someone else
with a similar problem helpfully said that they found the answer searching
the archives though. Shame he didn't post a reference to what he found...
Any help gratefully appreciated!

Howdy,
In the javadoc for DOMConfigurator, and also in the introductory manual,
there are links to XML files with very similar examples... But here
it is to make your life easier:
(See some comments after XML file)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>
<appender name="stdout" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern"
value="%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m %n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="fileAppender"
class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="ecore.log" />
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="100KB" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern"
value="%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value ="debug" />
<appender-ref ref="stdout" />
<appender-ref ref="fileAppender" />
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
Comments:
- Renamed appender "file" to "fileAppender" as file is a param name and
could be easily confused.
- Using log4j v1.2 syntax, e.g. level instead of priority for the root
category, simply because the above is taken from my config file and
I'm too lazy to convert back to 1.x syntax ;)
Hope this helps,
Yoav

Emily,
See http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/download.html
Log4j 1.1.3 is the last stable version, and it comes with source,
documentation, examples etc. XML examples can be found in
<log4j>src\java\org\apache\log4j\xml\examples.
Hope this helps.
