You are right,
common loggings came with tapestry.
I removed it from the shared/lib directory and copied version 1.1 in
web-inf/lib.
Copied in the tomcat bin folder the common-loggings-api.jar.


Not sure I understand that last statement? You should leave alone the commons-logging-api.jar in tomcat/bin and don't use commons-logging-api.jar for WEB-INF/lib, but version 1.1 of the commons-logging.jar (without the "-api" suffix). Just want to make sure you understand that.

Also i set the root logger level to warning and or.my logger to debug (i did
it before with no effects)

WOAW
it looks it works!!!
Iam not sure why, but it does.
Thanks a lot.
Paolo

(will let you know if it comes back ... :) )


Glad to hear you acheived the results you were hoping for! I just hope it's for the right reasons. If your approach matches my clarification above, then all is well :-)

Agree, additivity does not change much. The funny thing is that i get all
the logs anyway.
The file got messed in the paste: heve to add XX to param to paste it
here
for some reason. It was:
                <XXparam name="File" value="PROD.log"/>
                <XXparam name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
                <XXparam name="Append" value="false"/>

The file is created and filled up with all the mess i see on console.
sasme
behaviour.
This is the main thing i dont understand: if it was the console only i
would
presume messages comes from some other logging library, as you suggest.
But
why should that library write into my file, and change name according
with
my log4j settings?

I am not sure what iu should do with commons-logging.
at the moment there is commons-logging-api.jar in tomcat/bin and a
commons-logging-1.0.3.jar in tomcat/shared/lib. Does this have anything
to
do? I think tomcat came like this, i dont remember changing it.

Well, you must have because Tomcat doesn't ship with anything in
shared/lib. BTW, I would replace that with commons-logging-1.1.jar. Many classloading bugs have been fixed in the latest version of commons-logging.

Should i put another copy of it in my web-inf/lib directory?

Absolutely, yes. Anywhere log4j.jar goes, put a copy of commons-logging-1.1.jar. Same goes for SLF4J, if it is required by any libraries. Let us know if that changes anything.

thanks again

Based on this configuration, by setting additivity="false", you
effectively have no appenders attached to the loggers you've specified. Even if the level is "debug", you should get no output for the following loggers and their children....

org.my
org.apache
org.hibernate

additivity="false" cuts off the inheritance tree.  It can be useful, but
not the way you are using it. You should remove additivity="true" is the default, so you can exclude the additivity attribute altogether to get the appropriate behavior for you needs. Of course this brings us back to the original problem where you aren't seeing the logging behavior you expect to see. Read
on....

You never answered my question on commons-logging or SLF4J. Many/Most frameworks out there choose not to depend on a particular implementation, choosing instread to depend on a more lightweight logger abstraction,
such
as the two mentioned. Both define how they interact with Log4j. For SLF4J, you'd have to put the slf4j-api.jar and slf4j-log4j.jar in the classpath to utilize log4j. For commons-logging, having commons-logging-api.jar means you will end up using JDK 1.4 logging. The API jar has no Log4j implementation. What you would need is commons-logging.jar (without "-api" on the name).

BTW, for your "rolling" appender, it still doesn't appear that you define
a File for it unless you purposefully excluded it or it got messed up when pasting it in to the email. Is the file getting created? At least the file should be created even if there is no output. Does it get any output? Maybe remove the console appender from the config and only use a simple FileAppender instead of a rolling file appender. Once that works, you can add back complexity.

BTW, what I usually do is set the <root> to <level value="warn"/>.  Then
I define certain loggers to increase output as I need it. It's much easier to do this than set the <root> at some lower level and then have to define multiple loggers that I don't care about just to get them to shut up.

Anyway, keep trying.  We'll track down the issue at some point here.
