Patrick Burleson wrote about problems in getting Tomcat to use log4j by following the FAQ. I have been struggling the same fight for some time, but a hint in one of the recipes finally lead me to the solution.
It is --not-- enough to place log4j-x-x-x.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib and the properties file in .../common/classes. You --also-- have to place log4j-x-x-x.jar in classpath when starting tomcat. I did not find a "nice" way of doing this, but appending the path to log4j-x-x-x.jar to the line CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/bootstrap.jar:"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/c ommons-logging-api.jar in .../bin/catalina.sh did the trick, i.e. with this change, commons-logging will discover logj4.jar and use it. It would be nice to be able to supply this extra classpath entry when invoking catalina.sh instead of having to modify the script each time tomcat is updated. regards Erik Bertelsen ------------------------------------------------- WebMail fra Tele2 http://www.tele2.dk ------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
