Confirmed with my friend. It will fail to load your own log property file if you don't adding <hidden-classes> or <import-package> into your geronimo-web.xml. The rule is one log4j with one property file. So if you decide to use your own log property file, you must have one copy of log4j in your application. There is the other solution for you concern. It is to use the server's log4j copy, and add you log setting into <geronimo-home>\var\log\server-log4j.properties. You can distinguish you log setting with the server's one by package level appender. For example, If your application name is testA, and the source package is com.XXX.testA.
log4j.logger.com.XXX.testA=INFO, testA log4j.appender.testA=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.testA.File=c:\logs\testA.log log4j.appender.testA.Threshold=TRACE log4j.appender.testA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.testA.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d]-%-5p (%F:%L)|%m%n log4j.appender.testA.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd 2012/10/15 Zhi Xie <daxie...@gmail.com> > Currently I don't know how to use the application's log property file > without adding <hidden-classes> or <import-package>. > But I know if you want to use one copy of log4j librarry in the server and > share it with all application in the server, you can use the SharedLib > feature. > I mean use the <import-package> and SharedLib feature. > > I'm interesting to your problem, and continue to investigate the root > cause. > > > 2012/10/12 jcyim <jongch...@gmail.com> > >> hello. >> I'm trying to use application specific log. >> So I have followed instructions in geronimo manual pages. >> but, I failed. >> Geronimo never reads my applicaiton's log property file. >> I have tried to use <hidden-classes> and/or <import-package> >> but the result was same. it didn't work.
