Hi,
I have some questions regarding the Log4J logging configuration of ANT,
which I didn't get answered by any other resources:
1. I had a problem with the Log4J configuration. I got the error message:
"Listener attempted to access System.out - infinite loop terminated"
After some investigations I found out, that I get this message, when I
invoke a JAVA program, which itself uses Log4J for logging. After some tests
I observed, that this error does not occur anymore, when I explicitly set
the classpath, i.e. use
<java classname="..."
classpath="${java.class.path}"
failonerror="true" >
instead of
<java classname="..."
failonerror="true" >
My question: Why ? Is this a bug (I think so) or what went wrong ?
2. After the configuration of Log4J I still get the warning and error logs
from the tasks in the default format (additional to the configured format):
E.g.
INFO: Import 'work/data.subscriber.csv' into the database ...
[exec] Result: 2
ERROR: Result: 2
[echo] Warnings during database import. Please check
log/1255/SUBSCRIBER.log
WARN: Warnings during database import. Please check log/1255/SUBSCRIBER.log
for:
<echo message="Import '@{datafile}' <mailto:'@{datafile}'> into the
database ..." level="info" />
<exec executable="sqlldr.exe" resultproperty="dblib.returnCode"
outputproperty="none" >
<env key="NLS_LANG" value=".UTF8"/>
<arg value="userid=${db.connection}" />
<arg value="control=${dblib.ctlfile}" />
<arg value="log=${dblib.logfile}" />
</exec>
The configuration is:
log4j.rootLogger=ERROR,console
log4j.logger.org.apache.tools.ant=ERROR,LogFile
log4j.logger.org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask=FATAL,LogFile
log4j.logger.org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Echo=INFO,console,LogFile
log4j.logger.org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java=INFO,simpleConsole,LogFile
log4j.additivity.org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask=false
log4j.additivity.org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Echo=false
log4j.additivity.org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java=false
Again the questions: What happens and why ?
Kind regards
