log4j when using Bootstrap not command-line startup
I'm running Tomcat not from the command-line but from the Bootstrap class's
start() method. When I start it using the command-line, a logs/tomcat.log is
created in CATALINA_BASE, but not when I start from the Bootstrap class. In
fact, I get the "log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly."
log message in the output.
What is the catalina.bat file doing differently that makes properly
initializes log4j? There are a few things relating to setting
java.util.logging properties, but that shouldn't make a difference because
I'm using log4j. I'm using Tomcat 6 and following the directions at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html for log4j.
I imagine I've followed those directions properly because the logs are
appearing when I run it from the command-line. And ideas of what might be
causing this, or what should I try next?
Thanks.

Re: log4j when using Bootstrap not command-line startup
Posted by lightbulb432 <ve...@hotmail.com>.
Placing log4j's JAR into jre/lib/ext didn't cause the logs to appear. (I
should mention that the logs I'm trying to control with log4j are Tomcat's
internal logs, rather than web application logs.) The following command from
the command line outputs the log as expected, as does calling startup.bat,
or catalina.bat run:
java -cp "tomcathome\bin\bootstrap.jar"
-Dcatalina.base="path/to/catalina/base"
-Dcatalina.home="path/to/catalina/home"
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
The logs aren't created, however, when starting Tomcat from within an IDE
(Eclipse), in the following two cases:
- The Tomcat plugin that points to the same tomcathome as in the
command-line snippet above
- The main method of a class that uses the Bootstrap class, in the following
way:
Bootstrap bootstrap = new Bootstrap();
bootstrap.setCatalinaHome(System.getenv("CATALINA_HOME"));
bootstrap.setCatalinaBase(System.getenv("CATALINA_BASE"));
bootstrap.init(new String[] { "-config", "path/to/server.xml" });
bootstrap.start();

Lightbulb-

Log4j does not have a default logging target.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that all categories can inherit an
appender. This can be easily achieved by attaching an appender to the root
category.
If you place log4j.jar in the jre/lib/ext
/**********COMMONS-LOGGING.PROPERTIES located on classpath (WEB-INF/CLASSES)
*************/
commons-logging.properties has these entries for Log4J
org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4jF
actory
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategory
Log
/***********LOG4j.PROPERTIES located on classpath (WEB-INF/CLASSES)
***********/
log4j.properties has these entries
log4j.rootLogger = WARN, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout = org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Threshold = WARN
log4j.appender.stdout.Target = System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern = %d{ISO8601} %-5p [%F:%L] :
%m%n
