I'm getting a 2-5 minute delay when making the call to
PropertyConfigurator.configure(file) to initialize Log4j. I'm running
log4j-1.2.8 inside iPlanet 6.0, jdk 1.3.1, on Solaris. We have other apps
using this version of log4j on that same server and they don't have this
problem. This code sits within an initializer servlet.
I've tried putting the config file in various places and get the same
result. I've also tried sending a properties file to configure() in hopes
that it was a parsing or URL resolution problem; no luck. And I've tried
completely rewriting the config file from scratch using a sample from
manual.html.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening? Or even a way to figure out
what is happening or blocking during the delay?
FWIW the code runs fine on my Windows JDK 1.3.1.
System.setProperty( "log4j.defaultInitOverride", "true" );
String file = ( new File( this.getServletContext().getRealPath("/" )
+ File.separator +
"WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties" )).getAbsolutePath();
// if the log4j-init-file is not set, then no point in trying
if(file != null) {
org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configure(file);
org.apache.log4j.Logger myLogger =
org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger( "R" );
myLogger.debug( "SearchServiceInitializer.init(): logged through
myLogger" );
} else {
throw new RuntimeException( "Log4j config file not found: " +
file );
}
log4j.properties (taken directly from
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html )
