RE: logging inside EJB

[Keith Hatton]

Ah! I knew there was a reason why I made my Loggers normal instance variables, I think 
this was probably it from when I was playing around with WebSphere.

Just declare your logger as
   private transient Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(...);

and remember to reinitialise it in ejbActivate(). It may not be the prettiest solution 
but it works for me. If anyone has more elegant solutions ...

Hope this helps

Keith

even adding static final to logger
public class LegacyServiceBean implements SessionBean{
        private static final Logger logger =
Logger.getLogger(LegacyServiceBean.class);
}

I still got the following warning when using IBM's AAT(version 4.00.032) to
assemble the ear for OS390, 

J2EE1DOT2AppEJB.jar(Field: class$0, Class:
LegacyServiceBean: CHKJ2200W: The field is static but not final. Read 
section 18.1.2 of the EJB 1.1 specification.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Bosheng

Here's how I did it.

// QueryBean.java

package miaJ2ee.ejb.server;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import javax.ejb.SessionBean;
import javax.ejb.SessionContext;

import miaJ2ee.data.common.DataTransferObject;
import miaJ2ee.ejb.client.QueryException;
import miaJ2ee.dao.DataAccessObjectFactory;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;

/**
  * QueryBean is the bean class for a stateless
  * session bean.
  */
public class QueryBean implements SessionBean
{
     /**
      * Logger for this class.
      */
     private static final Logger logger =
             Logger.getLogger("miaJ2ee.ejb.server.QueryBean");

     /**
      * Info indicator for this class.
      */
     private final boolean info = logger.isInfoEnabled();

     public SessionContext context;

     public void ejbActivate(){}
     public void ejbPassivate(){}
     public void ejbRemove(){}

     public void ejbCreate()
     {
         PropertyConfigurator.configure("miaJ2ee.properties");
     }

     public void setSessionContext(SessionContext ctx)
     {
         context = ctx;
     }


     /**
      * Get a DataTransferObject from the database.
      */
     public DataTransferObject getObject(DataTransferObject data)
     throws QueryException
     {
         if (this.info)
         {
             logger.info("getObject() -- " +
                         "Creating data access object by calling " +
                         "DataAccessObjectFactory.createDao()...");
         }

         try
         {
             return 
DataAccessObjectFactory.createDao(data.getType()).getObject(data);
         }
         catch (Exception e)
         {
             throw new QueryException(e);
         }
     }


     /**
      * Get an ArrayList of DataTransferObjects from the database.
      */
     public ArrayList getObjectList(DataTransferObject data)
     throws QueryException
     {
         if (this.info)
         {
             logger.info("getObjectList() -- " +
                         "Creating data access object by calling " +
                         "DataAccessObjectFactory.createDao()...");
         }

         try
         {
             return 
DataAccessObjectFactory.createDao(data.getType()).getObjectList(data);
         }
         catch (Exception e)
         {
             throw new QueryException(e);
         }
     }

}

My EJB container is Sybase EAServer, so I had to write a custom appender 
that writes to my server's log file.
