Whenever log4j APIs are used for logging, you should place log4j.xml or log4j.properties in your classpath. Now, if you have server side application in jboss, then there is already a log4j.xml in conf directory. In case you have a client application which uses log4j API, then you will have to place the log4j.xml or log4j.properties in your client classpath. These files will be used for finding appropriate appenders for a logger.
anonymous wrote : but it would be helpful if the distro contained such a default file for client use This file is application specific, so the distribution cannot contain this file. Sample contents of log4j.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> | <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> | | <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";> | | <appender name="myAppender" | class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"> | <layout class="org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout"/> | </appender> | | <root> | <priority value="debug" /> | <appender-ref ref="myAppender"/> | </root> | | </log4j:configuration> Sample log4j.properties: # The root logger is assigned priority level DEBUG and an appender | # named myAppender. | log4j.rootLogger=debug, myAppender | | # The appender's type specified as FileAppender, i.e. log output | # written to a file. | log4j.appender.myAppender=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender | | # The appender is assigned a layout SimpleLayout. | # SimpleLayout will include only priority level of the log | # statement and the log statement itself in log output. | log4j.appender.myAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout Have a look at : http://www.developer.com/open/article.php/10930_3097221_3 for the same View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3905631#3905631 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3905631 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
