Hello,
I have a plug-in which configures log4j on per context basis from
external property file. As result each of my contexts log to its own
file and is configured from property file stored outside of its WAR
file. The system allows log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar in server/lib
or commons/lib as long as both jars are present in WEB-INF/lib as well.
It was made to allow classes loaded by server loader (Realms, Valves
...) to logg to context logger as well. It is done as axtention of
WebAppLoader class
It all worked well till version 5.5.9 where I am getting a nasty error
log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "applog".
log4j:ERROR A "org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender" object is not
assignable to a "org.apache.log4j.Appender" variable.
log4j:ERROR The class "org.apache.log4j.Appender" was loaded by
log4j:ERROR [WebappClassLoader
delegate: false
repositories:
/WEB-INF/classes/
----------> Parent Classloader:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
] whereas object of type
log4j:ERROR "org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender" was loaded by
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
].
I can not figure out why RollingFileAppender of all the classes is not
loaded by WebappClassLoader but by StandardClassLoader instead
I am very careful to not to reference any log4j classes in my
WebAppLoader extention class - all configuration is done via reflection
and all classes are loaded from WebappClassLoader but when log4j
configurator applies property file it fails with this error
Everything works of course with no log4j files in server/lib common/lib
but I would like to use log4j for server logging as well
I would greatly appreciate your help
Thank you
Alex
