Re: SMTPAppender not asynchronous using AsyncAppender
It is not working for me as well. I am making use of a customized SMTPAppender class for my application purposes. It is not even entering this class. If I remove async way, it is working fine. With async enabled, if I give the mailhost wrongly, no exception is thrown back. Please help Here is my log4j xml: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM log4j.dtd !-- | For more configuration infromation and examples see the Jakarta Log4j | owebsite: http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j -- log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/; debug=true !-- Buffer events and log them asynchronously -- appender name=ASYNC class=org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender appender-ref ref=MAIL / /appender !-- EMail events to an administrator -- appender name=MAIL class=com.mycomp.notification.log4j.SMTPAppenderTimeout layout class=org.apache.log4j.HTMLLayout / /appender root priority value =FATAL / appender-ref ref=ASYNC / /root /log4j:configuration Thanks, Radhika. alkuin wrote: amitshinde wrote: Did anyone else notice this? Can we send emails asynchronously at all? I am using log4j-1.2.15 in Tomcat 5.5. Sending emails asynchronously seems to work with an appender-ref ref=async/ in the root and an appender-ref ref=mail/ in the async appender. mail is the name of the SMTPAppender. To check if email is sent asynchronously, I provoked an error by giving a wrong SMTPPassword in the configuration.

Re: Log4j and Tomcat with multiple instances
Here's what I do, which is a bit different from the Tomcat instructions. I
pretty much ignore #5 in their instructions
1. Modify $CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties. Change the single line...
common.loader=${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
...to...
common.loader=${catalina.base}/shared,${catalina.base}/shared/*.jar,${catalina.home}/shared,${catalina.home}/shared/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
I usually also modify $CATALINA_HOME/catalina.properties with the following,
but you can skip this step if you never run Tomcat without using a separate
CATALINA_BASE...
common.loader=${catalina.home}/shared,${catalina.home}/shared/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
2. Place log4j.jar and log4j.properties in ${catalina.home}/shared (create
the directory if it doesn't exist). You can always override this per/instance
by placing log4j.properties in ${catalina.base}/shared, but the default one
will always be there and all instances can share log4j.jar from
$CATALINA_HOME. Make sure log4j.properties references ${catalina.base} (as in
Tomcat's' documentation) instead of ${catalina.home}.
3. Replace $CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar with tomcat-juli.jar
from extras and put tomcat-juli-adapters.jar from extras into
$CATALINA_HOME/lib or $CATALINA_HOME/shared
That's about it. Hope I didn't miss anything. I'm kind of doing this from
memory.

Hi,
I have a problem with log4j. Im to set up log4j with tomcat and a basic
setup works fine. Our setup is that we have multiple instances of Tomcat
running on different ports with different $CATALINA_BASE but the same
$CATALINA_HOME, we set this up to be able to start and stop applications
independent from each other.
If i set everything up as described here
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html#Using_Log4j (disregard
#5) it works fine, only problem is that all instances of tomcat log to the
same file. This is not what i want, i want each instance of tomcat to log to
its own logfile.
So i changed my setup accordning to #5 here
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html#Using_Log4j , but i
cannot get this to work at all. Its not logging anything when its setup like
this.
First of all, is what im trying to achieve even possible ?
If so, any idea what im doing wrong ? How can i troubleshoot this ?
Any ideas are most welcome, thank you!
Best regards
Peter

Re: SMTPAppender not asynchronous using AsyncAppender
If an uncaught exception occurs on the worker thread in AsyncAppender and the worker thread dies, then AsyncAppender will fall back to synchronous behavior. Possibly, you are seeing this synchronous behavior after death of the AsyncAppender worker thread.
