I'm not really sure but isn't the order of the elements in the .XML file important? I think the <param> arguments should stand before the <layout> part, so your log4j config file should look somethink like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration debug="false"> <appender name="ASYNC" class="org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender"> <appender-ref ref="ROLLFILE"/> </appender> <appender name="ROLLFILE" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyyMMdd"/> <param name="File" value="/amms/development/data/hipaatest.log"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%t] %d{yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss:SSS} %-5p %c - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <root> <priority value="debug"/> <appender-ref ref="ASYNC"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> but this is only an idea, don't know if this is really the point. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 8. Oktober 2003 16:30 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: error during DOMConfigurator::configure(String filename) call I am trying to use the DailyRollingFileAppender in an asynchronous way. When executing the DOMConfigurator::configure(String filename) I am getting the following error: log4j:ERROR Parsing error on line 15 and column 12 log4j:ERROR The content of element type "appender" must match "(errorHandler?,param*,layout?,filter*,appender-ref*)". Here is my config file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration debug="false"> <appender name="ASYNC" class="org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender"> <appender-ref ref="ROLLFILE"/> </appender> <appender name="ROLLFILE" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%t] %d{yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss:SSS} %-5p %c - %m%n"/> </layout> <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyyMMdd"/> <param name="File" value="/amms/development/data/hipaatest.log"/> </appender> <root> <priority value="debug"/> <appender-ref ref="ASYNC"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> Any ideas?
