Hello all,
I am using Log4J 1.2.15, and I have the need to output a special, custom,
pattern to my appenders. I have looked up at the samples and googled around
and I sort of have it working, however, when I try to add my custom pattern
property "instanceId" to the NT Logger, I get a NPE.
My properties file is like this:
log4j.rootLogger=WARN, stdout, rfa, nta
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.rfa=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.nta=org.apache.log4j.nt.NTEventLogAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=com.mypackage.CUSTPatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.instanceId=PC1
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} %G [%t] %-5p %c -
%m%n
log4j.appender.rfa.layout=com.mypackage.CUSTPatternLayout
log4j.appender.rfa.layout.instanceId=PC1
log4j.appender.rfa.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} %G [%t] %-5p %c -
%m%n
log4j.appender.nta.layout=com.mypackage.CUSTPatternLayout
log4j.appender.nta.layout.instanceId=PC1
log4j.appender.nta.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} %G [%t] %-5p %c -
%m%n
The actual NPE comes from the nta.layout.instanceId, when I remove it, it
all works fine. I have debugged the code for the CUSTPatternLayout class,
and I got a bit confused as to how it all works. And that is where you guys
come in!
I am confused as to how to the instances work, when I do something like
this:
private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);
Is there an instance created of CUSTPatternLayout for the layout property of
each appender? If so, can I get each appender to share the same instance of
CUSTPatternLayout?
like:
log4j.appender.layout=com.mypackage.CUSTPatternLayout ???
I am a bit confused about it all at the moment, but Im getting there...
Thanks for anyone who can help out here, it is greatly appreciated!
Mark
