Cannot configure apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with apache-log4j-1?

Hi Friends,

 

Tomcat version: apache-tomcat-5.5.27

Operating System: SunOS 10.0 / Linux

 

Question:

 

Problem:
I've tried many times to configure apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with
apache-log4j-1.2.16, but it is still failing to load classes from configure
apache-log4j-extras-1.0 JAR file.

What I want to do:
Actually I want to do time based log rotation the my application specific
log files. I could able to configure using
'net.cp.ps.sdk.util.log.DailyRollingFileAppender' class, but few problems
are reported on Apache site for this class.

Solution I can think of:
So, I have to look for another option for
'net.cp.ps.sdk.util.log.DailyRollingFileAppender' class, and I found
'org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender' class and can use
'org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy' in that.

Steps I performed so far:
1. Downloaded apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with apache-log4j-1.2.16 JAR files
from web.
2. Renamed apache-log4j-1.2.16.jar to simple 'log4j.jar'.
3. Copied apache-log4j-extras-1.0.jar in ~/WEB-INF/lib directory, where my
old log4j is present.
4. Extracted new log4j.jar (1.2.16).
5. Edited the pom.xml file from new 'log4j.jar' to include
'apache-log4j-extras-1.0'. Steps are described here:
(https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml).
6. Created jar file again, after editing pom.xml.
7. Then I added following configuration block, in my application specific
log-conf.xml (present in ~/WEB-INF/etc/):

<!-- Presentation Server Access log appender -->
      <appender name="access-log"
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
             <File>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log</File>
         <rollingPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
 
<FileNamePattern>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePa
ttern>
             </rollingPolicy>
         <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
           <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd.MM.yyyy
HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p - %m%n"/>
         </layout>
      </appender>

but, still I am getting following exception:

7202 [main] WARN net.cp.ps.sdk.server.ServerConfig  - thread[main] Unable to

Can someone please help me with this, what's going wrong and what I am
missing here?

Thanks in advance.

This is probably a question better directed to the Log4J users list,
rather than the Tomcat users list.

Oh, I had never seen that. Good to know. You're still using an exotic
appender, though. The one I see in log4j-extras is
org.apache.logging.rolling.RollingFileAppender

You ought to be able to just put apache-log4j-x.y.z.jar and
apache-log4j-extras-x.y.z.jar into WEB-INF/lib and it should work. Are
you trying to configure app-based logging, or do you also want
server-based logging to use log4j? If the latter, you need both of those
JAR files in Tomcat's lib directory, too.

Can you post more of the stack trace that you see? That one looked
incomplete.

The PATH environment variable is not relevant, here.

Hi Pid and Chris,

Thanks for your response.

I've tried registering myself to log4j mailing list, but remote MTA is giving some error and subscription is failing to validate.

Chris,

Please refer first line in following API doc, you will find that two problems are reported in it and option suggested us TimeBasedRollingPolicy.

http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/DailyRollingFileAppender.html

"DailyRollingFileAppender has been observed to exhibit synchronization issues and data loss............."

Pid,

>> Copied apache-log4j-extras-1.0.jar in ~/WEB-INF/lib directory, where my old log4j is present.

I've put both Jars in <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/lib/ directory. Restarting tomcat (catalina.out) shows that it has picked up both the JAR files, still it is saying that "Failing to load class.......".

This confirms that above path "<TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/lib/" is set in PATH variable.

Thanks,
Saurabh Agrawal

Pid's right: this is a log4j question, not a Tomcat one, unless you've got those JAR files in fully places. Where have you put those JAR files?

What's wrong with org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender?

Not going to happen as long as you keep hijacking other peoples threads.

Perhaps I misunderstood a few things and am trying to force something that 
works on my test rig to work in production?
Can a <resource be shared between tomcat authentication and hibernate?
Should I let hibernate manage it's own <resource> and give tomcat it's own

any help is hugely appreciated.
