Hi Hearty,
My understanding was that we just needed to hide the log4j and slf4j
classes to use logging
However a quick search came up with this
http://webui.sourcelabs.com/geronimo/mail/user/threads/Logging_in_Geronimo_2.0.1.meta
It lists the same problem and a solution
In case of wanting to use a properties file, You can configure log4j
for you app as follows
1) Write a gbean that will initialize log4j
eg:
package test
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Properties;
import org.apache.geronimo.gbean.GBeanInfo;
import org.apache.geronimo.gbean.GBeanInfoBuilder;
import org.apache.geronimo.gbean.GBeanLifecycle;
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;
public class Log4JInitGBean {
public Log4JInitGBean(String log4jResource, ClassLoader classloader)
throws IOException {
InputStream in;
if (log4jResource != null) {
in = classloader.getResourceAsStream(log4jResource);
if (in == null) {
throw new NullPointerException(
"No log4j properties resource
found at "
+
log4jResource);
}
} else {
return;
}
Properties props = new Properties();
try {
props.load(in);
} finally {
in.close();
}
PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
}
public static final GBeanInfo GBEAN_INFO;
static {
GBeanInfoBuilder infoBuilder = GBeanInfoBuilder.createStatic(
Log4JInitGBean.class);
infoBuilder.setPriority(2);
infoBuilder.addAttribute("log4jResource", String.class, true);
infoBuilder.addAttribute("classLoader", ClassLoader.class,
false);
infoBuilder.setConstructor(new String[] { "log4jResource",
"classLoader" });
GBEAN_INFO = infoBuilder.getBeanInfo();
}
public static GBeanInfo getGBeanInfo() {
return GBEAN_INFO;
}
}
Define this gbean in your plan via this entry
fp-log4j.properties
This will initialize ur log4j. Now since you are using slf4j as a
wrapper over log4j. You can hide the two projects that may already be
loaded in the parent classloaders via
org.apache.log4j
org.slf4j
Remember to package your own copies or add dependencies in your plan
for the slf4j and log4j jars
This should have your logging working.
2) Another way is to use the ApplicationLog4jConfigurationGBean though
I was not able to get it to work as expected
3) I was not getting log4j to initialize with the configuration I
specified without using the gbean above
I need to investigate more into 2 and 3.

Manu
P.S In your log4j.properties you can give the file path as
log4j.appender.FILE.file=${org.apache.geronimo.server.dir}/var/log/test.log
where org.apache.geronimo.server.dir is a system property
