I found a solution here: http://happygiraffe.net/blog/2008/08/27/logging-in-cocoon-22/ http://www.nabble.com/logging-with-C2.2-td13423869.html
My synthesis is: 1.) Add a configuration entry into the pom.xml of your block. Search for the plugin with the artifact id "cocoon-maven-plugin" I added a configuration tag to the end of the plugin. The whole plugin now looks like this: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.cocoon</groupId> <artifactId>cocoon-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-M2</version> <executions> <execution> <id>prepare</id> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>prepare</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <!-- =========================================== --> <!-- HD: Added custom log4j configuration --> <!-- The log4j-file gets copied to target/.../WEB-INF/log4j.xml --> <!-- =========================================== --> <configuration> <customLog4jXconf>src/main/resources/WEB-INF/log4j.xml</customLog4jXconf> </configuration> </plugin> 2.) I created src/main/resources/WEB-INF/log4j.xml exactly as proposed by the first link posted above. Note: the specified folder is relative to the block root folder, so "src/.../WEB-INF/log4j.xml" sounds good to me... <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"> <appender name="stdout" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> <param name="target" value="System.err"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} %c{2} %p - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <logger name="cocoon"> <level value="INFO" /> </logger> <logger name="org.apache.cocoon.components.flow.javascript.fom"> <level value="INFO" /> </logger> <root> <priority value="WARN"/> <appender-ref ref="stdout"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> After i restarted with mvn jetty:run , the customized log4j config works and now i can customize log4j as i need... Maybe that helps somebody else ;-) regards, hussayn -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/howto-customize-cocoon-2.2-logging---tp19370191p19380787.html Sent from the Cocoon - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
