Dear all,
I am using log4j for tomcat internal logging and also application logging.
I followed Tomcat's instruction to configure log4j rolling and I also have
configured my application to have its own log4j rolling.
log4j.jar is in both Tomcat's lib and web application's lib, each have their
respective log4j.properties
I enabled -Dlog4j.debug and I can see the sequence of the events
1) log4j.properties for the tomcat gets loaded by Tomcat's
StandardClassLoader
2) the same log4j.properties for tomcat gets loaded by the Tomcat's
WebappClassLoader
3) application's log4j.properties is loaded
Between 1) and 2) I can see the tomcat files being rolled ( I intentionally
set DailyRollingAppender to yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm and DEBUG level to make sure
lots of things gets logged). Rolling was working well. Files were rolled on
the minute
However, when step 2) kicks in, the rolling of tomcat files failed. I reckon
that the moment the the same log4j.properties is loaded, there is a conflict
since the same appenders are referred twice.
I am not certain has it anything to do with the tomcat's log4j configuration
or appliation's log4j configuration. The Application's log files are rolled
correctly.
Would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me.
