Unless you've taken steps to ensure that each application will log using their
own instance of log4j or use a Logger Repository Selector that distinguishes,
somehow, between applications, then all apps will use the same Logger
Repository (the default one) from a single instance of Log4j.
Most application servers don't use child-first, or parent-last, classloading
for webapps by default. Tomcat Standalone is one of the only ones out there
that does this by default. Hence, it is usually quite simple to separate
logging per/application under Tomcat. Other appservers may have options to
use child-first classloading. However, many times you'll run into other
issues because it's not well supported on other platforms.
I presume each app is manually configuring iteself? For appservers like
Weblogic of Websphere, I suggest you put both log4j.jar and log4j.xml in the
server classpath and get rid of manual configuration code in your apps.
If you want to explore true logging separation and be able to continue to
manually configure without affecting other apps, then you can look into using
a repository selector. However, the concept is confusing for many and may be
more effort than it is worth. I'll let you decide...

Hi All,
I got a strange behavior when i deploy my application
that define the log4j.xml configuration to existing App.Server (say it
IBM WAS v6.1) then other application's log that already use their own
log file for example App A log to A.log, App B log to B.log will
suddenly redirect to SystemOut.log and no longer to their respective
logs file.
But when i undeploy my application from the App Server, then other
application's log file come back to normal.
Below is my log4j.xml configuration :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>
<!-- Appenders -->
<appender name="console"
class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="Threshold" value="debug"/>
<param name="Target" value="System.out" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p:%d:%c{1} [%x] -
%m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="my_file_a_log"
class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
<param name="File"
value="my_file_a_log.log"/>
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="Threshold" value="debug"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p:%d:%c{1} [%x] -
%m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="mycom.mypackage.ClassMyClass" additivity="false">
<level value="info" />
<appender-ref ref="my_file_a_log" />
</logger>
<root>
<priority value="warn" />
<appender-ref ref="console" />
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
Is it correct?
Am i missing something?
My other question is why other application is affected to my log4j.xml
configuration?
I though every application inside the App.Server will have their own
respective configuration?
Please help me.
your help is really appreciated.
regards,
Lanes
