Hi Nancy, I am not sure how the LOG4J_OPTS environmental variable is supposed to be handled by the log4j library (I would like to know!) so I would recommend changing the fop script.
First put the log4j jar in fop's lib directory. You can download it from http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html Put your log4j.xml file in the root of the fop project. Edit fop: Uncomment the following line * LOGCHOICE=-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger * edit the fop_exec_command variable (bottom of fop file) to include -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.xml This approach will keep the log4j config local to fop which is preferred. Other java applications using log4j would want different config. Also you should not have to modify /usr/share/java since it is managed by Debian. I hope this works for you Pete On Mon, May 24, 2010 at 9:01 PM, nancy_b <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Pete, > > Thanks a lot for your prompt response!!! > > -- Did you change the fop script to specify the LOGCHOICE variable? > > No, why should I?
