Hello list,
Up until now, I have used simple System.out.println() statements
to do the logging of my web applications, but I want to start
using a more advanced system with more possibilities. Log4J
seemed like a good choice. The most important thing for me is that the
log messages are written nicely into a separate file.
Based on stuff I found using Google, I have created a
log4j.properties file (see bottom of this mail) which is saved under
the WEB-INF/classed directory.
It seems like things are working *partly*... because although I
do specify the file testbart.log, there is no testbart.log file
on the tomcat server (i checked this with find / -name
testbart.log as root). I *do* however see log messages appearing
in /var/log/syslog, but that is not what i want. I want them to be written
into a separate logfile.
Can somebody point me in the right direction here? All i want is
that the logs for my webapp (written using Log4J) are written in to a
file
/var/log/tomcat/mywebapp.log
It is however unclear to me where i have to configure this... is
it a Debian config thing? Is it a Tomcat config thing? Is it a
log4J config thing? Do I config this in the log4j.properties
file?
Just for the record: we're using Tomcat 5.5 on a Debian GNU/Linux
stable system.
Kind regards,
Bart
