Using log4j 1.2 Given this configuration file (testlog4jcfg.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration debug="true" xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; > <appender name="applog" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> <param name="File" value="AutoPublish.log" /> <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd'.log'"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{DATE} %5p %t %c{2} - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <root> <priority value="trace"/> <appender-ref ref="applog" /> </root> </log4j:configuration> This configuration is read by this line of code: DOMConfigurator.configure("testlog4jcfg.xml"); When I run this program, I get this output: log4j: Threshold ="null". log4j: Level value for root is [trace]. log4j: root level set to DEBUG log4j: Class name: [org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender] log4j: Setting property [file] to [AutoPublish.log]. log4j: Setting property [datePattern] to ['.'yyyy-MM-dd'.log']. log4j: Parsing layout of class: "org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout" log4j: Setting property [conversionPattern] to [%d{DATE} %5p %t %c{2} - %m%n]. log4j: setFile called: AutoPublish.log, true log4j: setFile ended log4j: Appender [applog] to be rolled at midnight. log4j: Adding appender named [applog] to category [root]. Why is it setting the threshold to null? Why is it ignoring the setting of the root level to trace? Second question : the program in question in this case is actually a simple JUnit test application. It seems to me as if some of the input is not getting to the file, even if I make it debug, instead of trace. Is there a timing issue here? If the program exits before log output has been completed, will log output not get to the log file? If that is the case, and I suspect it is, is there an easy way around this? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Cohen Sr. Software Engineer Ignite Sports, Inc.
