We have a problem with multiple applications running in iPlanet Application Server, using Log4j 1.0.4 (yes, i know its old..). Both applications use a seperate log4j configuration file (see below).
The problem is that these applications write messages to their own logfile, but sometimes to the logfile of the other application (these are NOT duplicate messages). Why is this? Could it be caused by the fact that they both have a rootCategory specified? Configuration application 1: log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.A1.File=/apps/APP1/tracelog/trace.log log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=APP1 %-5p %.25c %d{yyyyMMddHHmmss} %m%n log4j.appender.A1.MaxFileSize=5MB log4j.appender.A1.MaxBackupIndex=4 Configuration application 2: log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.A1.File=/apps/APP2/tracelog/trace.log log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=APP2 %-5p %.25c %d{yyyyMMddHHmmss} %m%n log4j.appender.A1.MaxFileSize=5MB log4j.appender.A1.MaxBackupIndex=4 Peter. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
