I have the log4j and commons-logging jars on my classpath, but my log4j logging is not working. Help! + }}} + + WebSphere uses commons-logging and so it's in the root classloader. In addition, WebSphere 6.0 ships a commons-logging.properties with the following properties set: + {{{ + org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl + org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger + }}} + + Therefore by default the application will use JDK logging and not log4j. The solution is to ensure that the right classloader mode is set and the application has an appropriate commons-logging.properties: + + {{{ + Set application classloader mode as PARENT_LAST. Also, add a commons-logging.properties to the application classpath with the following entries: + + priority=1 + org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl + }}} + + The priority flag was introduced in Commons Logging 1.1 to allow an ordering based on priority. To ensure that an application's commons-logging.properties will take precedence over WebSphere's file, a priority of greater that 0.0 must be set. + == How Can I Use Commons-Logging In JBoss 4.0.2? == {{{ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
