JCL+Tomcat+Log4j related problems [Was: Debugging]
James,
Join the club of users been bitten by Jakarta Commons Logging and
its "smart" discovery process.
You did not specify which minor version of Tomcat 5.0 it was. Anyway,
if it is Tomcat 5.0.27 or later, then keep the commons-logging and
log4j jars in the following locations:
TOMCAT_HOME/bin/commons-logging-api.jar
TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/log4j.jar
TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/commons-logging.jar
remove all JCL jars from ./server/lib/.
Your web-apps MUST not contain copies of commons-logging*.jar. This is
important.
The same applies to the Tomcat 5.5 series.
Let us know if it works. (It should.)

More info: I changed the Config servlet to write a few logs with
logger.debug and logger.error and that info gets to the files but not
anything besides that.

Could the problem be that I called LogLog.debug before configure?
public class ConfigLog4jServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void init() {
String prefix = getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
String file = getInitParameter("log4j-init-file");
String fullPath = prefix+file;
LogLog.debug("fullPath: " + fullPath);
// if the log4j-init-file is not set, then no point in trying
if(file != null && file.length() > 0) {
DOMConfigurator.configure(fullPath);
}
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ConfigLog4jServlet.class);
logger.error("Test Error");
}
public void print
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) {
}
}

With a lot of help from Ceki we finally got it to work. He helped me
find that the issue was that commons logging wasn't finding log4j.
Upgrading (from 1.0.2) to 1.0.4 fixed the problem! Version 1.0.2
apparently came with Tomcat 5.0.27.
Thanks Ceki!

I changed to the preferred setting and it still doesn't work.

Re: JCL+Tomcat+Log4j related problems [Was: Debugging]

James,
The fact that the setup you describe works is just happenstance.
One setting I suggested was:
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/bootstrap.jar:"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/commons-logging.jar:"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/log4j.jar
With NO copies of commons-logging.jar or log4j.jar in commons/lib.
The other (preferred) setting is:
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/bootstrap.jar:"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/commons-logging-api.jar:"
./bin/commons-logging-api.jar
./common/lib/log4j.jar
./common/lib/commons-logging.jar
JCL can cause your application to fail in new and original ways. The
settings above are known to work while many other seemingly equivalent
configurations fail in more or less obvious ways. (The less obvious the
failure the harder will be to hunt down.)
More below.

As long as the above jar files are not picked up by Tomcat they won't cause
harm.

Would the following cause problems?
/usr/share/java/commons-logging.jar
/usr/share/java/commons-logging-1.0.2.jar
/usr/share/ant/lib/commons-logging.jar

You are trying to give hints to JCL by setting the LogFactory system
property. Don't ever do that. It will just cause Tomcat to crash.
Place commons-logging.jar and log4j.jar on the CLASSPATH by modifying
catalina.sh. Make sure that no other copy of commons-logging.jar
or commons-logging-api.jar or log4j exists in your system visible to Tomcat.
Try that and see what happens.

So are you suggesting that or only suggesting it if
org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory is set?

AFAIK that is what I had. :-/

I just tried it that way once to see if it would work.

The most basic thing you could try is to place log4j

That won't work because the commons-logging-api.jar placed on the system
CLASSPATH (catalina.sh adds bin/commons-logging-api.jar on teh system
CLASSPATH) will not be able to find Log4jFactory because it is not included
in commons-logging-api.jar. This in turn will prevent Tomcat from starting.
I'd place commons-logging.jar and log4j.jar on the CLASSPATH by modifying
catalina.sh and see what happens. Note that there must be no other copies
of commons-logging.jar and log4j.jar anywhere else, not in Tomcat and not
in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web-apps.
I'm very surprised that the following set up did not work.
TOMCAT_HOME/bin/commons-logging-api.jar
TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/log4j.jar
TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/commons-logging.jar
Did you have the org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory system property set?
It should not be set.

I also used the JSP at
