Thanks gregor. This would be to get tomcat to rotate right? What i was testing was to have a log4j.properties (which I believe is the same outcome as the log4j.xml) in the common/classes, and commons logging and log4j jars in the common/lib.
This worked right I had a tomcat.log which rotates and everything. But my catalina.log continues to get everything, not only the system.out (which would be expected) but also all the log4j statements. Here is the log4j.properties in the common/lib: log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd log4j.appender.R.File=/opt/resin/tomcat/logs/tomcat.log log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n I honestly think that tomcat main log should rotate by default. It also should include even all system.out calls. Maybe the way the catalina.out is done is flawed? emerson On 13/08/2008, Gregor Schneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, > > I guess you should v´have a vanilla start with log4j. > > Therefore: > > 1st make sure that you've got all necessary libs installed in the > appropriate folders (guess you're fine here, otherwise no logs would > show up) > > 2nd create a file $catalina_home/common/classes/log4j.xml with the > following content: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> > <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> > > <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";> > > <!-- Tomcat Daily Rolling File Appender TRACE, DEBUG, INFO --> > <appender name="TomcatDailyFileAppenderInfo" > class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> > <param name="datePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd" /> > <param name="Append" value="true" /> > <param name="file" value="${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log.INFO" /> > <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > <param name="ConversionPattern" > value="%d{ISO8601}\t%-5p\t%X{session}\t%X{file}\t[%t]:\t%m%n" /> > </layout> > <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter"> > <param name="LevelMax" value="INFO"/> > <param name="LevelMin" value="TRACE"/> > <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/> > </filter> > </appender> > > <!-- Tomcat Daily Rolling File Appender WARNING --> > <appender name="TomcatDailyFileAppenderWarning" > class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> > <param name="datePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd" /> > <param name="Append" value="true" /> > <param name="file" value="${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log.WARN" /> > <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > <param name="ConversionPattern" > value="%d{ISO8601}\t%-5p\t%X{session}\t%X{file}\t[%t]:\t%m%n" /> > </layout> > <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter"> > <param name="LevelMax" value="WARNING"/> > <param name="LevelMin" value="WARNING"/> > <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/> > </filter> > </appender> > > <!-- Tomcat Daily Rolling File Appender ERROR --> > <appender name="TomcatDailyFileAppenderError" > class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> > <param name="datePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd" /> > <param name="Append" value="true" /> > <param name="file" value="${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log.ERROR" /> > <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > <param name="ConversionPattern" > value="%d{ISO8601}\t%-5p\t%X{session}\t%X{file}\t[%t]:\t%m%n" /> > </layout> > <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter"> > <param name="LevelMax" value="ERROR"/> > <param name="LevelMin" value="ERROR"/> > <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/> > </filter> > </appender> > > <!-- Tomcat Daily Rolling File Appender FATAL --> > <appender name="TomcatDailyFileAppenderFatal" > class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> > <param name="datePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd" /> > <param name="Append" value="true" /> > <param name="file" value="${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log.FATAL" /> > <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > <param name="ConversionPattern" > value="%d{ISO8601}\t%-5p\t%X{session}\t%X{file}\t[%t]:\t%m%n" /> > </layout> > <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter"> > <param name="LevelMax" value="FATAL"/> > <param name="LevelMin" value="FATAL"/> > <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/> > </filter> > </appender> > > <root> > <level value="info" /> > <appender-ref ref="TomcatDailyFileAppenderInfo" /> > <appender-ref ref="TomcatDailyFileAppenderWarning" /> > <appender-ref ref="TomcatDailyFileAppenderError" /> > <appender-ref ref="TomcatDailyFileAppenderFatal" /> > </root> > > </log4j:configuration> > > 3rd make sure you have the file log4j.dtd in $catalina_home/common/classes > > That's it. > > If you want your webapp to log, just create the webapp's log4j.xml in > $WEBAPP/WEB-INF/classes > > > HTH > > Gregor > -- > what's puzzlin' you, is the nature of my game > gpgp-fp: 79A84FA526807026795E4209D3B3FE028B3170B2 > gpgp-key available @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de:11371 > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
