Hi everybody!
I first got confused about ehcache using slf4j, but after decompiling ehachace from our Cocoon 2.1.11 (Tomcat is 6.0.20), I noticed commons logging was used back then. The problem is (still): Our tomcat/logs/catalina.out logs too many DEBUG messages generated in ehcache, like 85765 [http-8080-5] DEBUG net.sf.ehcache.Cache - cocoon-ehcache-1 cache - Miss 85765 [http-8080-5] DEBUG net.sf.ehcache.Cache - cocoon-ehcache-1 cache - Miss 85946 [http-8080-5] DEBUG net.sf.ehcache.store.MemoryStore - cocoon-ehcache-1Cache: spool to disk done for: PK_G-file-file:///.../nothing.xml_T-xslt-file:///.../press-query.xsl;id=xyz This causes huge catalina.out, around 5 GB per day, so we need to restart tomcat and purge the log file. I tried a lot of config settings, most promising was adding "-Dlog4j.debug=true" directive (to JAVA call starting tomcat). catalina.out revealed that cocoon/WEB-INF/lib/bsf-2.4.0.jar!/log4j.properties was used! So I also added "-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///tomcat/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/log4j.xml" with the following settings <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/ <http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/> "> <appender name="COCOON_DEFAULT" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"> <param name="File" value="/tomcat/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/logs/log4j.log" /> <param name="Append" value="false" /> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%t %-5p %c{2} - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <root> <priority value="fatal" /> <appender-ref ref="COCOON_DEFAULT" /> </root> <logger name="net.sf.ehcache"> <level value="info" /> <appender-ref ref="COCOON_DEFAULT" /> </logger> </log4j:configuration> And it seems to be actually used as catalina.out now prints log4j: Setting [net.sf.ehcache] additivity to [true]. log4j: Level value for net.sf.ehcache is [info]. log4j: net.sf.ehcache level set to INFO log4j: Adding appender named [COCOON_DEFAULT] to category [net.sf.ehcache]. But as you already guessed, I still get tons of ehcahce debug messages in catalina.out, like Do you have an idea what might still go wrong? What could cause these DEBUG messages to still go to stdout (or stderr)?
