Hi - java 1.5 tomcat 4.1.31 log4j 1.2.13 SunOS 5.8
_problem_ The tomcat shutdown.sh doesn't close log4j when log4j is used to implement commons-logging in a web app. Any ideas about what mechanism to use to fix this? I really appreciate any suggestions. thank you, Sylvia _gory details_ I am using log4j to implement commons-logging in my web app: In WEB-INF/classes/ I have (1) commons-logging.properties = org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategoryLog (2) a log4j.properties I put log4j.tar in WEB-INF/classes/lib. To invoke the logger I simply make the usual commons-logging calls in my java (struts) program: (1)static Log log = LogFactory.getLog( xxx.class ); (2)log.info("Here is some INFO"); This all works great. But when (1) I ran shutdown.sh (to close tomcat) tomcat didn't fully close - the tomcat process was still there when I do a 'ps'. (2) As an experiment, I turned off log4j (changed commons-logging.properties ....SimpleLog) and restarted tomcat (startup.sh). (3) But the log output was still in log4j format (I had used pattern format). So it seems tomcat didn't close the log4j 'handler' on shutdown in (1) and therefore was unable to fully shutdown itself - that's why it showed up in the 'ps'. thanks very much. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
