 Yes, I am running server in standalone mode (~/bin/startup.sh) [OS - 
 Linux/Solaris]. No IDE is being used.
 My application is deployed on tomcat server under ~/webapps/cp/.
 
 I couldn't find my application specific pom.xml file, so I did update 
 the one present in log4j.jar. If that is not the correct way to do 
 this, can I use web.xml to define dependency?
 

The instructions presume you are using Maven2 to perform your builds.
Apparently that is not the case for you.  Modifying pom.xml inside log4j.jar
will do you no good (nor harm).  It is totally inconsequential to your
issue.

Whatever build you are using (Ant?), make sure that it places the following
2 jars inside WEB-INF/lib of your WAR file (or directory)

~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/lib/log4j.jar
~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-extras.jar

 Also, we are using ~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/etc/log-conf.xml file to add 
 following configuration:
 
 !-- Presentation Server Access log appender -- appender 
 name=access-log
 class=org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender  
  FileWEB-INF/log-files/access.log/File  
  rollingPolicy
 class=org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy
 
 FileNamePatternWEB-INF/log-files/access.log.%d{-MM-dd}.log/File

 ttern /rollingPolicy
  layout class=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
  param name=ConversionPattern value=%d{dd.MM. 
 HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p - %m%n/ /layout /appender
 

Like I mentioned before, this configuration looks like it is for Logback.  
Log4j doesn't support stuff like File and FileNamePattern elements.  The

link you originally provided gives you the correct configuration info

https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml

And that doc points to this doc, which provides the defacto information...


http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/r
olling/TimeBasedRollingPolicy.html
 What I want is that a new log file should be created in the mid night, and
 logging should be continued in that file. Old log file should be renamed
 with access.log.date.

Read the above links.  They provide all the information you need.

Hi Friends,

 

Tomcat version: apache-tomcat-5.5.27 

Operating System: SunOS 10.0 / Linux

 

Problem: 

I've tried many times to configure apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with
apache-log4j-1.2.16, but it is still failing to load classes from configure
apache-log4j-extras-1.0 JAR file. 

What I want to do: Actually I want to do time based log rotation the my
application specific log files. I could able to configure using
'net.cp.ps.sdk.util.log.DailyRollingFileAppender' class, but few problems

My guess is that you have classloading issues.  What server are you using?
I'll bet it is not configured to use child-first (a.k.a parent-last)
classloading and that the server has a copy of log4j.jar in the server

In this situation, the log4j.jar in the server classpath would take

What server do you use?  This should be part of your server documentation, but 
if it's Weblogic I might be able to tell you.  But that also depends on the 
server version.

My guess is that you have classloading issues.  What server are you using?
I'll bet it is not configured to use child-first (a.k.a parent-last)
classloading and that the server has a copy of log4j.jar in the server
classpath.

In this situation, the log4j.jar in the server classpath would take
precedence to any log4j.jar you included in WEB-INF/lib and be unable to
find the rolling.RollingFileAppender located in the extras jar stored in
WEB-INF/lib.

You can resolve this either by placing the extras jar in the server
classpath alongside the log4j.jar already there or configure your
application to use child-first classloading.

Whoops.  I guess I did miss that.   That presents a problem, though.  Tomcat 
uses child-first classloading by default, at least when running under the 
standalone scripts.


How are you running it?  Are you running it within an IDE or something?

Also, I took a closer look at your config.  It looks like Logback 
configuration, not Log4j configuration.  See here for config...


http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/rolling/RollingFileAppender.html

The config at the link you mentioned ( 
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml ) actually looks correct to me, 
but is different than what you mentioned below.


You also mention that you edited the pom.xml file in log4j.jar?  That's not he 
pom file to edit.  The pom.xml to edit is your own pom.xml to contain the 
dependency.


Please check the resultant WAR file to ensure that the files you think are 
supposed to be there actually are there.



Jake
