Re: [POLL] NDC over MDC

In one application I have a chain of 5 javax.servlet.Filters. I find it handy to pop the name of each one onto the NDC so I know where I am in the stack. I also use them for tracking certain recursive calls or state. Certainly not indispensible, but very handy. But prefer? Probably not -

UNIX file handler problem used up on log4j log files

I have a problem with file handler in UNIX. It is related to log4j, but may not caused by it. There are two web applications running, both using log4j. One is Solaris/Weblogic and the other Solaris/iPlanet. The WL one never had problem with file logging. But the iPlanet always will have overflow

I prefer NDC. It appears simpler, and I don't understand the benefits of MDC for my applications. Current code for a servlet that logs info by user: NDC.push(currentUser.getCompanyId()); // do stuff NDC.pop(); NDC.remove(); I don't see the benefits of having a key string in the above code.

You can refer to dynamic variables in your config file after having set them dynamically by your initialization code... appender name=A2 class=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender param name=File value=${Barracuda.log.home}/main.log / param name=Append value=false / layout

RE: NotSerializableException using log4j

2002-08-30 Thread Ebersole, Steven
Logger, conceptually, should not be Serializable. You can mark the Logger fields in those dataObjects as transient, but then when the session reactivates the field would be null; you'll have to write logic to handle the session activating to (re)obtain the Logger instance. This can be done

Hostname is logged within the NDC, in the do stuff section. This servlet doesn't permit one user to be logged in twice simultaneously. I'm not disputing the value of MDC; I'm only saying that it's overkill for some applications. At 8/30/2002, you wrote:

Re: UNIX file handler problem used up on log4j log files

I guess so. Since you didn't close those file handles before another PropertyConfigurator call, they are accumulated with each servlet hit. You can call Logger.shutdown after each session to see if it fixes the problem. Alternatively, you may only need configure your logging at the server start

Thank you and also Luc_Bell who made the same observation. This technique works very well. Also, a line in the properites file like: log4j.appender.A1.file=logs/${user.name}.log works to provide a separate log file per user. Thanks again. -Dan On Friday 30 August 2002 14:08, you
