Hello there,
I have started the migration process for a few of our applications running
on Weblogic 10.3.3 to Log4j 2.0. I am running into a few issues that I hope
someone can help me with.
Since all the apps are running within 1 JVM, each app is to read its own
log4j configuration and write to its own log file. To achieve this, I am
doing the following:
private static void configure()
{
try
{
LoggerContext ctx = (LoggerContext)
LogManager.getContext(false);
System.out.println("Original Config Name: " +
ctx.getConfiguration().getName());
java.io.InputStream is =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(Constants
.PROP_LOG4J_FILENAME);
InputSource isource = new InputSource(is);
File file;
URL url =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(Constants.PROP_LO
G4J_FILENAME);
try {
file = new File(url.toURI());
} catch(URISyntaxException e) {
file = new File(url.getPath());
}
XMLConfiguration newConfig = new XMLConfiguration(isource,
file);
System.out.println("New Config Name: " + newConfig.getName());
ctx.setConfiguration(newConfig);
ctx.reconfigure();
System.out.println("CTX isReady: " + ctx.isStarted());
Map<String, Appender> map =
ctx.getConfiguration().getAppenders();
System.out.println("Current Config Map Size: " + map.size());
System.out.println("Current Config Name: " +
ctx.getConfiguration().getName());
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
The System output I get is as follows:
Original Config Name: Default
New Config Name: AccessService
CTX isReady: true
Current Config Map Size: 1
Current Config Name: Default
This tells me that the ctx.setConfiguration(newConfig) and the
ctx.reconfigure() did not actually take in the new configuration as
presented by the XMLConfiguration. How do I go about resolving this?
I don't want to set a system level property since that will be applicable to
the entire VM and my loggers append to different log files rather than the
intended one. Please help me as I have been stuck on this for the past 4
days. I appreciate any pointers you can offer.
Thanks,
