log4j-1.2.5.jar

[Lenny Sorey <lr...@fatdot.com>]

Quick Question:

Where exactly should the log4j-1.2.5.jar be located in order to get it to work 
within Tomcat 4.1.3?

I can get log4j to work with log4j.properties while I run it as a separate servlet
by starting it from a command line with java after I compile it the servlet alone.

I still can't get it to work with Tomcat 4.1.3

My JSP's currently run find and retrieve data.  I really need to place some log4j statement to debug
in some servlets. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Oh Yeah, The folks from the Loggers4J Users group suggested that I asked this group for help regarding
using log4j with Tomcat.

Platform again:

Windows 2000 Professional
Tomcat 4.1.3
J2SDK 1.4.0
Log4j-1.2.5
Turbine 2.1
velocity-1.2-dev
MySQL 4.0.1-alpha-max-nt

Thanks,

Lenny Sorey

Hi Lenny,

Well, unless you use the RepositorySelector technique (which I've only 
heard about and don't know how to implement) you will need to put 
log4j-1.2.5.jar in your WEB-INF/lib directory.  You can put your 
log4j.properties in WEB-INF/classes and it should get used the first time a 
new logger is created.

Alternatively, you can set up a servlet to load on startup of your app and 
do initialization manually which can be more flexible.

You can see an example of that by looking at Barracuda, a Servlet 
Presentation Framework which includes a library called "plankton.jar".  It 
contains some generally useful utilities that can be used anywhere...even 
outside the context of Barracuda.  One thing it has in particular is a 
Log4jInit servlet that is very comprehensive (I know because I wrote 
it).  You can use that and then check out Barracuda's web.xml for an 
example of the configuration to initialize the servlet on startup. 
<plug>BTW, you might want to try out Barracuda.  I am a committer to that 
project and can tell you that it is a very compelling framework and an 
alternative to JSP framworks like Struts and such<plug>.

You can download Barracuda at:
