Modifying pom.xml inside log4j.jar will do you no good (nor harm). It is totally inconsequential to your issue. Whatever build you are using (Ant?), make sure that it places the following 2 jars inside WEB-INF/lib of your WAR file (or directory).... ~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/lib/log4j.jar ~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-extras.jar > Also, we are using ~/webapps/cp/WEB-INF/etc/log-conf.xml file to add > following configuration: > > <!-- Presentation Server Access log appender --> <appender > name="access-log" > class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> > <File>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log</File> > <rollingPolicy > class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> > > <FileNamePattern>WEB-INF/log-files/access.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</File > NamePa > ttern> </rollingPolicy> > <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd.MM.yyyy > HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> > Like I mentioned before, this configuration looks like it is for Logback. Log4j doesn't support stuff like <File> and <FileNamePattern> elements. The link you originally provided gives you the correct configuration info.... https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM30/log4j.xml And that doc points to this doc, which provides the defacto information... http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/r olling/TimeBasedRollingPolicy.html > What I want is that a new log file should be created in the mid night, and > logging should be continued in that file.
