Your config looks OK to me.
Sometimes such a thing happens, if one starts the process unintended as
root, who then owns the log file and after starting again as non-root,
the process user can not write to the file...
You can add "-Dlog4j.debug" to the startup options of your Tomcat. Then
catalina.out will contain information about log4j parsing its config, like
log4j: Using URL [file:.../conf/log4j.properties] for automatic log4j
configuration.
log4j: Reading configuration from URL file:.../conf/log4j.properties
log4j: Parsing for [root] with value=[DEBUG,FILE].
...
log4j: End of parsing for "FILE".
log4j: Setting property [file] to [/home/jung/.../logs/RPSSERVER.log].
log4j: setFile called: /home/jung/.../logs/RPSSERVER.log, true
...
Maybe you will detect something strange in this output.

I have used this log4j.properties for a GUI application where it is working
fine and also by testing the server with JUnit all debug information are
displayed.
I am starting the tomcat with the startup.bat. Hence it is not a service.
A example for the GUI application would be:

Betreff: Re: AW: logging log4j of my application
All right, so we assume, there are no log4j things lying around in your
Tomcat apart from your webapp. Also please check, that the running
Tomcat process has no -Dlog4j.configuration in its commandline.
It could be, that you have a servlet initialization, that configures
log4j via its API, but let's assume this is not the case.
Then even without the context-param, the log4j.properties in your
WEB-INF/classes should be found as the default configuration. Maybe the
context-param is an indicator, that there is explicit log4j
initialization code in your webapp and you are not using autoconfiguration.
In both cases we assume it really picks up the
WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties.
So if a file gets created but nothing gets logged into it, we should
have a look at the contents of the log4j.properties file. You should
post it.
Also: which messages would you expect there?

I deploy a war file with the following content.
WEB-INF:
classes:
contains the log4j.properties file in the root directory. Only
one exists.
lib:
contains the log4j-1.2.9.jar not in any other directory
my web.xml contains
<context-param>
<param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>
I hope that's the information you ask for!
thanks

Betreff: Re: logging log4j of my application
How do you deploy the log4j Jar? Which place? Several places?
Where do you keep your log4j configuration file? One file, several ones?
Which mechanism did you choose to publish the files to log4j?
The questions concerning "several" always mean: are those things only in
your webapp, or also added to the container installation?
Depending on the answers, it's relatively easy (after understanding
tomcat class loaders and log4j default configuration mechanisms) to
explain, which config gets evaluated and why.

Hi
I have a problem with tomcat 5.5.20. My application uses log4j 1.2.9 and
I
am sure that all my implementation is correct because I uses JUnit and
the
logging works fine with it. However, Tomcat loads my log4j.properties so
the
configuration of the web.xml should be right.
I know that because the log file is created but it contains no entries.
Moreover my log4j.properties is used in other projects without tomcat and
works file.
Is there a special configuration of the tomcat?
Thanks
marc
