Hi, still reading :-) http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html
I have setup log4j as above, but with a little twist. If you permission $CATALINA_HOME as read only and you want to customize the log4j.properties then you need to install the log4j1.2.14.jar and log4j.properties in $CATALINA_BASE/lib. You also need to adjust the catalina.properties common.loader common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar The tomcat logging works well. However, I have 2 questions related to installing log4j for a web application: 1. why does the documentation say to add log4j1.2.x.jar to the WEB-INF/lib, isn't it already loaded by the common.loader at this point? 2. is there a way to add a WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties to log to myapp1.log and capture all the logs related to the web application ? Why would'nt the following create a myapp1.log? <myapp1>/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties -> log4j.debug=TRUE log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,myapp1 # test logger log4j.logger.org.apache=DEBUG,myapp1 # Log rotation log4j.appender.myapp1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.myapp1.File=${catalina.base}/logs/myapp1.log log4j.appender.myapp1.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd # Print the date in ISO 8601 format log4j.appender.myapp1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.myapp1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n Any hints - suggestions are appreciated, Many Thanks - Fred -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tomcat-6-and-log4j-for-a-web-application-tf4325752.html#a12319790 Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
