NEWBIE: Logging?

[Andrew Timberlake <an...@ddd.co.za>]

Please could someone help me with this, seemingly, obvious question.

I am writing an action for cocoon 2 which extends AbstractLogger
indirectly through extending other cocoon classes.

I am then calling getLogger.debug("debug text here");

No debug info is appearing in any of the log files within
cocoon/WEB-INF/logs
I have used the binary download as is.
Do I need to initialise the logging somewhere somehow.

I have looked around on the mailing list archives and I've been to the
LogKit site but have had no joy.
The only logging framework I've used is Log4j

TIA

Andrew

The logging is turned on by default and configured in the
WEB-INF/logkit.xconf
file.

I guess you have cocoon 2.0.2 installed? If so, have a look if you have this
section at the end of the file:

  <categories>
    <!--
      log-level: One of DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL_ERROR.
    -->
    <category name="core" log-level="DEBUG">
      <category name="startup" log-level="DEBUG"/>
      <category name="roles" log-level="DEBUG"/>
      <category name="manager" log-level="DEBUG"/>
      <category name="store" log-level="DEBUG"/>
   ....

Remove the last for lines as they are wrong.

Short Explanation:
The logkit uses categories to log in. Unless otherwise specified each
component logs into the category "core.manager". With the line from
above "<category name="manager" log-level="DEBUG"/>", this category
("core.manager") is specified to log nowhere. By removing this line
the category is logged into the logs again.
