RE: Loading configuration file
Hello,
I still have no success with log4j. I downloaded
1.2.9, and renamed my configuration file to
log4j.properties but it's not creating any log in the
log files. What can be wrong?
- I'm using eclipse 3.0.
- I tryed with the log files in the same directory of
my configuration file but doesn't work.
- my log4j.properties is into the root of the project
- my log4j configuration file looks like this:
#coloca los niveles de los loggers en debug y error,
y adiciona appenders
log4j.logger.co.com=ERROR,ap1,ap2
log4j.logger.erroresStack=ERROR,ap3
#configuracion del appender 1
log4j.appender.ap1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.ap1.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.ap1.File=logSEMC.txt
log4j.appender.ap1.threshold=DEBUG
#configuracion del appender 3
log4j.appender.ap3=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.ap3.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.ap3.File=logSEMCErrores.txt
log4j.appender.ap3.threshold=ERROR
#configuracion del apender 2
log4j.appender.ap2=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
#layouts para los appenders
log4j.appender.ap1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ap1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t]
%-5p %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.ap2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ap2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t]
%-5p %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.ap3.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ap3.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t]
%-5p %c - %m%n
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Johnny

Re: Loading configuration file
Posted by Johnny Gonzalez <jo...@yahoo.es>.
Hello Jacob,
Thanks a lot for your help it was very useful. I have
several jar files that I need to invoke some services
from my server (jboss), and I note that one of those
jar files has a configuration file for log4j in the
server and as you said the file is log4j.xml, so when
I tryed to lot messages in my application it was using
the configuration file in the server.
Now I'm using this technique:
PropertyConfigurator logProperties = new
PropertyConfigurator();
logProperties.configure("conf/log4j.properties");
And now I am completely sure log4j is using this
configuration file.
Thanks a lot again,
Johnny
PS: I will follow your recommendation using the file
log4j.xml.

And don't forget that if log4j.xml is in some directory on the classpath as
well, it will get used in preference to log4j.properties. I suggest moving
to log4j.xml if at all possible.

My guess was that locating log4j.properties was the problem. However,
if you are getting logging messages to the console then something is
configuring log4j, so either log4j.properties is being found or
something else is configuring log4j.
I would suggest modifying your log4j.properties file to see if it is
responsible for your configuration. If you make the following change:
-log4j.logger.co.com=ERROR,ap1,ap2
+log4j.logger.co.com=ERROR,ap1
and the console messages disappear, then your log4j.properties file is
being found.
If your log4j.properties file is being found, I would try using
FileAppender instead of DailyRollingFileAppender and absolute paths
instead of relative paths, for example:
-log4j.appender.ap1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
-log4j.appender.ap1.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
-log4j.appender.ap1.File=logSEMC.txt
-log4j.appender.ap1.threshold=DEBUG
+log4j.appender.ap1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
+log4j.appender.ap1.File=/tmp/logSEMC.txt

You should be able to specify an absolute path like:
"/home/username/workspace/myproject" in that field or use the Browse
button next to the field to invoke an directory selection box. The
behavior may be different between platforms, but works for me on Mac
OS/X. However, this suggestion assumed that the problem was finding
your log4j.properties file.

Hello Arnold,
I Followed your recommendations, but it still doesn't
work. But for example when I make a:
log.error("Variables");
I'm receiving messages in the console like this:
ERROR [main] (SemcControlador.java:280) - Variables:
but There's no output to the files :-(
When I open the Arguments pane, as you told me to do,
appears selected an option that says:
Use default working directory
If I deselect that checkbox, appears this:
${workspace_loc:AplicacionSEMC}
Is this OK? I tryed both options but none worked. What
could you recommend me?
Thanks a lot,
Johnny

You might check the working directory for your Debug or Run
configuration to see if it is set to the location of your
log4j.properties file. Select Run/Run... or Run/Debug... from the
Eclipse menu and then select the "Arguments" pane. If that looks okay,
you could try explicitly stating the location of the configuration file
by adding -Dlog4j.configuration=FILENAME to the VM arguments.
