Hi Guys I am working on RollingFileAppender, with the following property file
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout, logfile log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p [%c] - <%m>%n #log4j.appender.logfile=com.deloitte.common.logging.internal.DeloitteFil eAppender log4j.appender.logfile = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.logfile.File=C:/LoggingPOC/logs4/FileAppender.log log4j.appender.logfile.MaxFileSize=10KB # Keep three backup files. log4j.appender.logfile.MaxBackupIndex=5 # Pattern to output: date priority [category] - message log4j.appender.logfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p [%c] - %m%n I am deploying a war file in weblogic 8.1 and the logging is done properly, all the log files are created and updated according to the RollingFileAppender requirements. Now I am redeploying the same war file once again through the weblogic console, but now the log files are deleted one at a time and finally only one log file (FileAppender.log)is left and same is being updated, no backups are created. I tried N number of times and this is deletion is repeating. I am using 1.2.8 version and I can't change the version as vignette uses that.

I'm getting the feeling you don't fully understand what you're doing (no offence). You are naming your loggers and your appenders to something that looks a lot like logging levels, which at the very least makes things confusing when, as a human, you're trying to understand what is going on, but at worst might cause problems because the configurator might understand what you mean to be a logger or an appender as a log level, and vice versa. Also, by using only two loggers, you are throwing away one of the biggest advantages of log4j, which is granularity of logging statements, i.e., being able to "zoom in" on a part of your program. My best advice to you is, stick with the convention of naming loggers after the class they are used in. Have a read through the short introduction to Log4J, it's really the foundation you need when starting to use log4j. http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html The one problem I spot is that you're not specifying a filename for your rolling file appender, which means anything you write to your MAIN logger wouldn't be logged anywhere. Otherwise, purely syntactically, I think your config is OK (but I'm relatively new to log4j as well, plus I mainly use XML config files), but I think a line like this: log4j.rootLogger=NORMAL, DEBUG might actually cause trouble, because although you've defined both NORMAL and DEBUG as appenders, DEBUG is also a logging level, which could confuse the configurator. I would create loggers and appenders with all different names (loggers preferably just named after the class they're used in, you should distinguish the severity of a message by the log level, not by using a different logger). So, no overlapping terms for log levels, loggers and appenders, and see if you can get things to work then.

Can you please tell me how can i configure 2 loggers in the same properties file: I have code like this, I only have 2 loggers in my whole application: Logger normalCaseLogger = Logger.getLogger("NORMAL"); normalCaseLogger.info("normal case logging"); Logger debugLogger = Logger.getLogger("DEBUG"); debugLogger.info("debugging logging"); I have try my properties like this, but nothing get print out: log4j.rootLogger=NORMAL, DEBUG log4j.appender.NORMAL=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.NORMAL.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout # Print the date in ISO 8601 format log4j.appender.NORMAL.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n # Print only messages of level WARN or above in the package com.foo. log4j.logger.NORMAL=INFO log4j.appender.DEBUG =org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.logger.DEBUG = DEBUG Thanks for any help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PRIVACY: The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or priviliged material.
