To give a few more details:

I initialize my logger using PropertyConfigurator.
I set up a logger using Logger log = Logger.getLogger(this.class)

There is no output from my logger but there is output from cactus logger.  I
cannot make this work so a hint or two would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Denis

Newbie problem

[Denis Avdic]

Hello,

This is probably a very simple problem with a blindingly obvious
solution but I am stumped:

I am trying to use log4j in my developing environment which also relies
on jUnit and Cactus for testing.  Now, Cactus already uses log4j for its
own logging and I figured I can just add my own appenders and
definitions to the current log4j.properties file.
Ok, so i did and so my loggers instantiate correctly with the correct
appenders attached to them (I am using an old, write-directly-to-file
logging system I wrote, and I just checked all the appenders and params
that my logger has...)

In any case, when I do try to log NOTHING shows up in my log file (which
has the same config as the cactus log file).  However, when I run the
cactus test, the main function (which I suspect just runs the root
logger) does log to the file.

I am stumped, please help.  The config file follows but I suspect that
is not the problem (PS I added the console logger later to see if
anything would happen but nothing does.)

Oops, sorry in my blissful ignorance I forgot about the .zip version :P
Oh well, grab the .exe version and you'll see what I mean, I like auto
installers, do exactly the same as the .zip versions, except does all the
manual stuff automagically.

RE: Really Newbie Problem

[Nicholas Orr]

Did you install TC as a service when you installed TC? Ie did you "tick" the
bax that said "NT Service (NT/2k/XP only)".

If you didn't then uninstall, then reinstall and "tick" that box. But to
find out if you have go to Start > Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services -
then look through the list for something that looks like "Apache Tomcat 4.1"

If you still can't figure this out (service), then just stick with the
scripts you all ready have.

As for your log4j issue, I think it is one of those really obvious errors
that you don't look at because "it should be correct" type of error, u know
the one I mean, and I can't advise anything else, cause it's working here on
my machine with lg4j.jar in the /commons/lib dir.

Yup, everything works on my desktop but log4j fails to initialize on my
laptop using the same settings as my desktop. I have only ever used one
version of Log4j and that's 1.1.3. What I don't understand is why it can't
work on my laptop when all installations are the same and the config files
are in the same locations.

Following your suggestions,
I tried typing the following where I usually type "startup":

D:\Studies\Systems Implementation II\Codes\84105_Ex1>net start "Apache
Tomcat 4.1"

The system returns to me:

The service name is invalid.

I looked at the help msg and this is what it said:
EXPLANATION

You tried to start a service that is not configured on this system.

ACTION

Check the spelling of the service name or check the configuration
information for the service using the Services option from Server Manager.

Sorry, I'm not really familiar with the XP Pro OS, or any other OS in fact,
so I don't know where to configure this.

Re: Really Newbie Problem

[Ronnie Choo]

Yup, everything works on my desktop but log4j fails to initialize on my
laptop using the same settings as my desktop.
I have only ever used one version of Log4j and that's 1.1.3.
What I don't understand is why it can't work on my laptop when all
installations are the same and the config files are in the same locations.

Following your suggestions,
I tried typing the following where I usually type "startup":

D:\Studies\Systems Implementation II\Codes\84105_Ex1>net start "Apache
Tomcat 4.1"

The system returns to me:

The service name is invalid.

I looked at the help msg and this is what it said:
EXPLANATION

You tried to start a service that is not configured on this system.

ACTION

Check the spelling of the service name or check the configuration
information for the service using the Services option from Server Manager.

Sorry, I'm not really familiar with the XP Pro OS, or any other OS in fact,
so I don't know where to configure this.

RE: Really Newbie Problem

Hey, do a search for your log4j*.jar file and see exactly where it is,
delete all of them.
Then copy log4j*.jar to /common/lib.

May help may not, everything looks good in your script. 
Haven't you all ready said you got it working? 
It would be a good idea to make sure there is only 1 log4j*.jar file, so
when the next version comes out you *know* which version your using, not
what you *think* your using.

Also how come you not running it as a service, you said you had XP on your
desktop, I assume ur running 2k or XP on ur laptop, makes things a lot
easier I reckon, batch files only need to look like this 
*
Start.bat
*
net start "Apache Tomcat 4.1"

*
Start.bat
*
net stop "Apache Tomcat 4.1"

*
Restart.bat
*
net stop "Apache Tomcat 4.1"
net start "Apache Tomcat 4.1"

Makes sense to me. Oh well . . .

My understanding is that XP comes with Java stripped
You have to install the JDK the JRE
(as well as Apache HTTP Server if you are running Web Apps)
Anyone else?

RE: Really Newbie Problem

[Nicholas Orr]

Log4j.jar "could" have been in another lib directory already.
common\lib
shared\lib

That's why, or it could have been in the CLASSPATH environment variable.

Re: Really Newbie Problem

[Steve Ebersole]

Glad you got it working.

A note on your postscript.  All jar files required by a servlet-based
application should be present in the web app's WEB-INF/lib directory for
automatic detection.  Thats not unique to Tomcat.

Typically when using log4j in a web-app, place log4j.jar in the WEB-INF/lib
directory; place your config file in WEB-INF/classes...

Re: Really Newbie Problem

[Ronnie]

It's working at last!!! =) :-)

I put the file log4j.jar into the "webapps//WEB-INF/lib" folder and
it worked!

I added the -Dlog4j.debug=true line into catalina.bat and found that log4j
initialization couldn't find log4j.properties file.
So out of frustration I copied the files log4j.jar and log4j.properties into
every single folder in "webapps/" and started tomcat.
Got a shock when it actually started initializing correctly!
Went through some trial and testing and found out the cause of all my woes
for the past week...

This is all thanks to you Mr Ebersole! I thank you very much! =)


Gratefully,
Ronnie

P.S. Maybe this problem could be highlighted in the documentation? I had
thought Tomcat should be able to find all required libraries in "common/lib"
but turned out to be false in my case.

I just looked at Tomcat setup a little bit.  I seems startup.bat just calls
catalina.bat.  So go into catlina.bat and add the following (near the top):

CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -D log4j.debug=true

Re: Really Newbie Problem

[Steve Ebersole]

Probabaly not.  I am assuming startup is the bat/cmd file to start tomcat?
You need to edit that file.  Somewhere in that file there will be a java
command to actually start tomcat.  Thats where you need to put the -D.

java -D log4j.debug=true ...

Also just noticed that you define a logger named
"edu.rmit.isys2049.EmployeeAccessBean", but then never attach any appenders
to it.  Because of the "additivity" feature of log4j, statements going to
that logger will also be handled by the rootLogger, but root has WARN set as
its level.  So in reality, statements sent to the
"edu.rmit.isys2049.EmployeeAccessBean" logger, will only shoe up if they are
WARN or above.  Not sure that is what you are intending.

Re: Really Newbie Problem

[Ronnie]

I'm using Log4J 1.1.3...
I tried using "startup -D log4j.debug=true" and the Dos Console window pops
up for a split second before disappearing.
Happens on my desktop as well. Is that the right way to execute the command?

I've tried changing "category" to "logger" as suggested but encountered the
same problem.

I've really hit a solid stonewall this time...

Thanks alot for your suggestions Mr Ebersole! I really appreciate it!

Ronnie

RE: Really Newbie Problem

[Ebersole, Steven]

What version of log4j are you using?  Cannot remember the switch-over
version, but the newer versions of log4j don't use category anymore; its now
logger.

Just for giggles, try the following:
1) First set the system property log4j.debug to true when starting tomcat
(pass "-D log4j.debug=true" in the tomcat startup script).  Then you can
watch log4j configure itself; and more importantly if it is running into
problems...

2) Try changing the word category in your config file to logger:

log4j.rootLogger=WARN,FILE,A1
log4j.logger.edu.rmit.isys2049.EmployeeAccessBean=DEBUG

log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.File=C:/temp/tomcat.log
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t ] %-5p %c{1}-%m%n

log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.File=d:/temp/trace.log
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t ] %-5p %c{1}-%m%n

Re: Really Newbie Problem

No question is silly for a newbie! =)

Yes I did restart Tomcat after changing the file location.
I'm using log4j.properties so doesn't that configure the logging?

I just tried another exercise using EJB in JBoss and JBoss was unable to
initialize the default ConsoleAppender as well...
Headache...

Also, are you allowing default initilization to happen, or are you

RE: NEWBIE PROBLEM: Another inheritence question

[Jeff Epstein]

I realize now that I'm assigning the appender to the root, so ALL levels
inherit it, regardless the name.

It's confusing that an appender can be assigned to a logger, even though
they have exactly the same names.  I don't understand how to create a
non-root appender (in the property file), and then assign it to a logger
(either in the property file, or in the Java code).

Will stop spamming now, as I await responses...  :'  )

(This is unrelated to my previous post)

I've declared a "root appender" in the property configuration file.  I
specifically assigned the appender to com.foo.Bar, and did not apply *any*
property configuration variables for com.foo.  However, com.foo is ALSO
printing out to the com.foo.Bar file.  I thought that com.foo.Bar inherits
from com.foo, but not the other way around.

Why is this happening?  I expected there to either be an error (com.foo
doesn't have an appender), or for com.foo simply to not log anything,
anywhere.

Thanks!  (Again)

NEWBIE PROBLEM: Inheritence in property config file

[Jeff Epstein]

I am an experienced Java programmer, but am new to log4j.  I'm confused as
to why I'm getting this error (error output and code below).

I understand that naming conventions for "inheritence" of loggers should be
the same as your class heirarchy.  Hence:  com.foo and com.foo.Bar.  But I'm
getting an error saying ":WARN No such property [bar] in
org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender."

I don't see anything relating to this in the documentation.  I don't see ANY
(complete) listing of all configuration variables avaliable to
PropertyConfigurator's Pmroperty file.

(My goal is to have com.foo.Bar inherit everything from com.foo, *except* I
want it to output only to file, instead of System.out.  I'm pretty sure that
"log4j.additivity.com.foo.Bar=false" is how to do this, but I can't get
beyond this error to confirm.  Does additivity also prevent the formatting
and LEVEL settings from being inherited?)
