PS. WRAX press' Tomcat book has a section on Log4J. Pretty simple, 20 pages tops, but it will get you started. If you can get a handle of that, of course.

At 12:54 PM 7/3/2003, you wrote:
OK, with my current configuration, I *am* seeing
output in catalina.out. However, its not formatted
the way I (think I) told it to. Also, I would
prefer to have the output go to a separate log
file, as there is just too much stuff in catalina.out
to wade through.

Anyway, I am using RH9, jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24,
and log4j-1.2.8. For my webapp, I am
creating a war file that has log4j.properties
in the WEB-INF/classes directory. I dropped
log4j-1.2.8.jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory.

The log4j.properties file looks like this:

log4j.logger.fermataintl.migrasponder=DEBUG, console
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %F:%L - %m%n
=================================================================

I am not explicitly initializing log4j. A class that I am using
in my app invokes logging as follows:

package fermataintl.migrasponder.common;
import java.sql.*;
import org.apache.log4j.*;

public class Vendor
{
...
    logger.warn("attempt to authenticate '" + id + "' failed");
...
    private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Vendor.class);
}
==================================================================

When I run my app and exercise the bit of code containing the
warning above, it puts the following in catalina.out:

1571947 [Thread-5] WARN common.Vendor  - attempt to authenticate 'xxx' failed
===================================================================
So... my questions are:

1) How do I get output to a file of my own choosing
2) How do I get the formatting to come out with date and time prepended?

Thanks.

PS. I looked for the commercial manual (on the website) at 2 local bookstores and on amazon.com. Nobody has it. I hesitate to order from
Switzerland, as I am in the US. How long would that take...
