Hello,
I don't know if I should use a new thread or not but this is a continuation
of this issue. I found that even after my changes there was very little
being written to my new log and there were still many of the product
messages being written to the catalina.out. It has now come to my attention
that the web application contains a log4j.jar file in the <WEB-INF>/lib
directory and a log4j.properties file in the <WEB-INF>/classes directory.
This log4j.properties file has a lot more items in it and I believe is the
reason all the messages from the product are still going to the
catalina.out log.
Here I was so proud of myself for getting the logs to go to an appender and
the log rolling over as expected only to find the catalina.out still
growing with messages from the application.
I am unsure how to get these messages to be added to my log file that is
being used from the log4j.properties file that is in the CATALINA_BASE/lib
directory.
One of the other things I noticed is the vendor has a tomcat-juli.jar in
the CATALINA_BASE/lib as well as in the CATALINA_BASE/bin directory where
it should be. Would the one that is in the CATALINA_BASE/lib directory be
doing anything. Maybe it is there in error and not really effecting
anything but I don't know.
I did read in a note on the tomcat web page that gave the instructions to
use the log4j logging that the steps it had written were not needed if you
just want to use log4j in your own web application - in that case, you
would just put log4j and the log4j.properties in the WEB-INF/lib and the
WEB-INF/classes of your web application which it appears the vendor did. So
I think I would need to edit their log4j.properties file.
Am I on the right track at all here?
Would it be bad to post their log4j.properties along with mine to see how I
can edit it to have the info go to the new log?
