Yes, as indicated in the doc that Misagh referenced, the ‘log4j.configurationFile’ is a system level JVM property that is not set in your cas.properties file. This is the change in 4.2+. You’d need to explicitly pass this system property to your JVM runtime with -D prefix. Here’s for example an excerpt from Tomcat server’s (where cas.war is deployed) setenv.sh that sets those system properties:
#CAS logging settings export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dlog4j.configurationFile=/etc/cas/log4j2.xml -DloggerFactory=org.apache.logging.slf4j.Log4jLoggerFactory” Best, D. > On Apr 28, 2016, at 10:21 AM, Misagh Moayyed <[email protected]> wrote: > > See http://jasig.github.io/cas/4.2.x/installation/Logging.html#configuration > <http://jasig.github.io/cas/4.2.x/installation/Logging.html#configuration> > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt S. > Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 6:13 AM > To: CAS Community <[email protected]> > Subject: [cas-user] Externalizing Log4j2 Not Working on Cas 4.2.1 > > Hi, > > On Cas server 4.2.1, it doesn't seem to be using the property in > cas.properties for externalizing the log4j2.xml file. > > This was working in 4.1.x, for example setting > log4j.config.location=file:///etc/cas/log4j2.xml in an externalized > cas.properties file, but it doesn't seem to be picking it up in 4.2 as none > of the log files are being created. > > If I just copy the log4j2.xml into my overlay in WEB-INF/classes/, it does > seem to work, but at least that is expected since it's the default location. > > I also noticed that in the sample Overlay linked in documentation, the > cas.properties file does not contain any property related to the log4j2 file. > Is there a different way this is supposed to be setup to externalize? > > The logging section of the documentation only mentions a Java virtual machine > argument to define log4j.configurationFile for externalization. > I also tried using a property name of "log4j.configurationFile" in > cas.properties but that didn't seem to work. > > Any suggestions? > > > Thanks, > Matt > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "CAS Community" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/group/cas-user/ > <https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/group/cas-user/>. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/d/msgid/cas-user/45ef2ef3-f311-4465-9374-cb746fae89f8%40apereo.org > > <https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/d/msgid/cas-user/45ef2ef3-f311-4465-9374-cb746fae89f8%40apereo.org?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/d/optout > <https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/d/optout>. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "CAS Community" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/group/cas-user/ > <https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/group/cas-user/>. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/d/msgid/cas-user/3942b8ed.00002ff0.00000026%40MMOAYYED.unicon.net > > <https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/d/msgid/cas-user/3942b8ed.00002ff0.00000026%40MMOAYYED.unicon.net?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/d/optout > <https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/d/optout>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CAS Community" group.
