Hi Friends,
Tomcat version: apache-tomcat-5.5.27 Operating System: SunOS 10.0 / Linux Question: Problem: I've tried many times to configure apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with apache-log4j-1.2.16, but it is still failing to load classes from configure apache-log4j-extras-1.0 JAR file. What I want to do: Actually I want to do time based log rotation the my application specific log files. I could able to configure using 'net.cp.ps.sdk.util.log.DailyRollingFileAppender' class, but few problems are reported on Apache site for this class. Solution I can think of: So, I have to look for another option for 'net.cp.ps.sdk.util.log.DailyRollingFileAppender' class, and I found 'org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender' class and can use 'org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy' in that. Steps I performed so far: 1. Downloaded apache-log4j-extras-1.0 with apache-log4j-1.2.16 JAR files from web. 2. Renamed apache-log4j-1.2.16.jar to simple 'log4j.jar'. 3. Copied apache-log4j-extras-1.0.jar in ~/WEB-INF/lib directory, where my old log4j is present. 4. Extracted new log4j.jar (1.2.16). 5. Edited the pom.xml file from new 'log4j.jar' to include 'apache-log4j-extras-1.0'. Steps are described here: (https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml). 6. Created jar file again, after editing pom.xml. 7. Then I added following configuration block, in my application specific log-conf.xml (present in ~/WEB-INF/etc/): <!-- Presentation Server Access log appender --> <appender name="access-log" class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <File>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log</File> <rollingPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <FileNamePattern>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePa ttern> </rollingPolicy> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> but, still I am getting following exception: 7202 [main] WARN net.cp.ps.sdk.server.ServerConfig - thread[main] Unable to parse invite request mappings: [The XPath='invite-requests/invite-mapping' does not exist] 7214 [main] WARN net.cp.ps.sdk.server.ServerConfig - thread[main] Unable to parse known profiles request mappings: [The XPath='known-profiles-requests/known-profiles-mapping' does not exist] 8114 [main] ERROR net.cp.ps.sdk.server.ServerConfig - thread[main] Missing configuration: couldn't find value for /ps-conf/regex-whitespace-keyword log4j:ERROR Could not create an Appender. Reported error follows. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.jav a:1386) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.jav a:1232) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.Loader.loadClass(Loader.java:160) Can someone please help me with this, what's going wrong and what I am missing here? Thanks in advance. Regards, Saurabh Agrawal
