Re: tomcat and log4j, again

1. look into using fileappenders, or even better rolling file appenders.
2. in the log4j api find patternlayout. it has very good documentation.
d Used to output the date of the logging event. The date conversion 
specifier may be followed by a date format specifier enclosed between 
braces. For example, %d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} or %d{dd MMM  HH:mm:ss,SSS}. If 
no date format specifier is given then ISO8601 format is assumed.

The date format specifier admits the same syntax as the time pattern string 
of the 
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.htmlSimpleDateFormat. 
Although part of the standard JDK, the performance of SimpleDateFormat is 
quite poor.

For better results it is recommended to use the log4j date formatters. 
These can be specified using one of the strings ABSOLUTE, DATE and 
ISO8601 for specifying 
../../../org/apache/log4j/helpers/AbsoluteTimeDateFormat.htmAbsoluteTimeDateFormat, 
../../../org/apache/log4j/helpers/DateTimeDateFormat.htmDateTimeDateFormat 
and respectively 
../../../org/apache/log4j/helpers/ISO8601DateFormat.htmISO8601DateFormat. 
For example, %d{ISO8601} or %d{ABSOLUTE}.

These dedicated date formatters perform significantly better than 
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.htmlSimpleDateFormat. 

Hope this helps

Howdy,

I am not explicitly initializing log4j. A class that I am using
in my app invokes logging as follows:

package fermataintl.migrasponder.common;
import java.sql.*;
import org.apache.log4j.*;

public class Vendor
{

 logger.warn(attempt to authenticate ' + id + ' failed);
...
 private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Vendor.class);
}

The above can't compile: did you copy and paste it wrong?

1571947 [Thread-5] WARN common.Vendor  - attempt to authenticate 'xxx'
failed

Looks like the default layout, not the one you specified.

So... my questions are:

1) How do I get output to a file of my own choosing
2) How do I get the formatting to come out with date and time
prepended?

Use a FileAppender or one of its variants.  Specify the File attribute
such that it points to a writable directory/file.  Specify the Layout
for this FileAppender just like you did for the ConsoleAppender.  I
don't know why the layout for your console appender wasn't picked up,
since you've already said you don't see any errors ever in your logs
even with log4j.debug=true.

Hmm. Maybe log4j just is never reading my properties file. I don't know why.

log4j.appender.l1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %F:%L - %m%n

I am still not seeing the log file show up. It just goes into 
catalina.out. I didn't
mean to imply that there were no errors in catalina.out. Actually, there 
seems
to be a bunch of stack traces, but none seem related to log4j. Is there some
public place that documents all of the ConversionPattern specifiers?

or should I just change to *using DateTimeDateFormat? And if so, can
you show me the specifics? Do you have any idea why the log file is
not being produced?

You can The complete log4j manual in the US from Softpro books:

  http://store.yahoo.com/softpro/2-9700369-0-8.html

They should have it in stock.

Otherwise, your hesitation about purchasing the book from Switzerland
is quite normal. Of course, much of the log4j code was written in
Switzerland as anyone can guess from the cheesy smell of the code.
People in Switzerland are notorious for their feet and the cheesy
smell they exude.  Some say that it is the Swiss feet that give the
cheese its uniquely rich aroma and flavor, or maybe it is the other
way around...
Interestingly enough, while visiting the US on vacation, a waitress
asked us what kind of cheese we wanted in our sandwich. She listed
the various sorts and we stopped her as soon as she pronounced the words
Swiss cheese. We enthusiastically repeated Swiss cheese with a
twinkle in our eyes, yearning for the Gruyere or possibly the Vacherin
fribourgeois that we enjoy so much.  Talk about a cultural shock when
we realized that Swiss cheese in the US means a gooey slice of
plastic with holes in it. To be fair, it loosely resembled the
Emmental but that is probably stretching the word loosely.
Anyway, we loved every minute of our visit, although there were a few
rare exceptions which are better kept unshared.
If you are wondering if I've lost a marble or two during my stay in
London, I've been sick since my return. And the Apache rules
specifically state** everyone is allowed to go on a tangent once in a
decade. It's my turn. :-)
** If you don't believe me, read the ASF bylaws. It's around section
43 or thereabouts.

My suggestion would be to start tomcat and set the log4j.debug property to 
true.

The extra command line argument is   -Dlog4j.debug=true

This should show which configuration file log4j load if it loads one at 
all. If your config file is found, you should also see log4j parsing it. 
BTW, your config file looks OK.

Thanks for all your help. Do you see anything wrong with this?

RE: tomcat and log4j, again

2003-07-03 Thread Paul Smith
Mmmm, for some reason it is using all the right class loaders to attempt to
find the log4j.xml file, but it only uses 1 different methods to try to find
log4j.properties.  That is odd.  Is this a Tomcat 4.1 specific class loader
issue?

What about trying converting your log4j.properties file into a log4j.xml
file, and placing it in the same spot.  Given the catalina.out is attempting
to look for that file in the right spots it should find it.

 It put it in:

  This should show which configuration file log4j load if it 
 loads one 
  at all. If your config file is found, you should also see log4j 
  parsing it. BTW, your config file looks OK.

Do you have a copy of the log4j.jar file other than the WEB_INF/lib 
directory of your web-app?

Do you have it in the classpath? In the JVM extensions directory?

By the way, tomcat is not starting properly which means that your web-app 
will also not start but you get log4j messages which mean that there is a 
copy of log4j.jar in a place other than your web-app's WEB_INF/lib directory.

Not a cut-n-paste issue. I blew away the catalina.out file prior to

attached the entire file, since it was more than a screenful for cutting and
