David Roberts created LOG4J2-706: ------------------------------------ Summary: InvocationTargetException with RollingFileAppender in Log4J2 Key: LOG4J2-706 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-706 Project: Log4j 2 Issue Type: Question Components: Appenders Affects Versions: 2.0-rc2 Reporter: David Roberts Priority: Minor
I'm trying to use a RollingFileAppender in Log4J2 and apparently I'm missing something. The file is created with 0 bytes, but no logging goes to it. When I turn on the trace I see the following error message logged (to the console) by log4J2: 2014-07-08 19:51:11,354 DEBUG Starting RollingFileManager c:/logs/blah.log 2014-07-08 19:51:11,464 DEBUG Generated plugins in 0.108079890 seconds 2014-07-08 19:51:11,465 ERROR Unable to invoke method createAppender in class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.RollingFileAppender for element RollingFile java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.BaseConfiguration.createPluginObject(BaseConfiguration.java:913) This is my config file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration status="TRACE" verbose="false"> <appenders> <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT"> <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/> </Console> <RollingFile name="Blah" fileName="c:/logs/blah.log" filePattern="c:/logs/blah-%i.log"> <PatternLayout pattern="%d %p %c: %m%n"/> <Policies> <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy /> <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="1 MB"/> </Policies> <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="10"/> </RollingFile> </appenders> <loggers> <root level="INFO"> <appender-ref ref="Blah" level="INFO"/> </root> </loggers> </configuration> It's probably something basic but I can't find it. I posted on stackoverflow and Remko Popma asked me to post a ticket here. I was getting the problem on rc1, but I have now updated to rc2 and I still see the same issue. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
