Logging (Log4J) with Tomcat 4.1.x

Hi all,

I must be getting stupid or so but the logging in my webapp doesn't work 
anymore.

I've the log4j.properties file in WEB-INF/classes
log4j.jar is in WEB-INF/lib

My properties are:
#
# Configures Log4j as the Tomcat system logger
#

#
# Configure the logger to output info level messages into a rolling log 
file.
#
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, R

#
# Configuration for a rolling log file ("tomcat.log").
#
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
#
# Edit the next line to point to your logs directory.
# The last part of the name is the log file name.
#
log4j.appender.R.File=C:/data/apps/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/logs/tomcat.log
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
#
# Print the date in ISO 8601 format
#
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

I don't see the tomcat.log file anywhere :(

Someone has any idea?

Peter

No, you have to put each application log4j.xml in each WEB-INF/classes or 
WEB-INF/lib (in a jar)
 The first time you declare a Logger in your app, log4j.xml is searched in 
the ClassLoader; but, I donĀ“t know why (maybe some log4j initialization 
static code), some log4j class is loaded by the Tomcat's Common ClassLoader, 
not by your WebappX classloader.
Because of this, log4j.lib must be in the common dir.
 The log4j.xml is loaded by the WebappX, so each application may have its 
own log4j.xml. Each time you redeploy an application, the log4j.xml is 
searched again.

There are multiple webapps deployed on the server. Will adding log4j to 
common/lib not activate log for all of them?

A log4j mailing list might give u a more effective answer....

Try and change the appender to be ConsoleAppender (please check the
name) - see if the output displays on the tomcat console.Then u can
debug from there...

HTH,
Anoop
