Following the instructions from here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html#log4j.
specifically the end 2nd last paragraph about config web application logging.
My application (SOAP service) runs successfully AND logs when I run locally on
my Window Tomcat 6 instance (both to console and log file specified in
log4j.properties).
Migrate the SAME war file to Solaris test environment, with same
WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties file
WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar
When migrated to our Solaris environment running same version of Tomcat
(6.0.24) absolutely no logging occurs. Nothing showing in console log nor in
log file specified. It's as if it's going completely to /dev/null....
There is an older jar for log4j in the classpath for Tomcat for Axis. However
my understanding is my web application will use the properties and jar file in
the war file path. And I'm not using Axis.
Absolutely baffed - works perfectly fine locally but not at all on Solaris test
server. Getting zero error messages so it's as if it's getting blocked
somehow. Yet the application runs and logging should be happening.
I'd include the log4j.properties but it's not relevent - the same file works
fine locally but no errors or results on Solaris.
Thoughts/ideas where to look?
