Hi ,
I am designing a web app which will create log files dyanamically from a
servlet when app is deployed but it is creating a log file from .properties
file only.
Below is servlet code snippet that i am using to create a log file with
log4j.properties file.
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
try {
// Load log4j.properties from WEB-INF folder
String log4jConfigurationFile =
sce.getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/log4j.properties");
PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jConfigurationFile);
//Override log4j Configuration
String newLogFilePath = "C:/tempTEST/hi/Test_Logger1.log"; // Get
this path from environment variable dynamically
if(newLogFilePath !=null) {
Appender oldFileAppender =
Logger.getRootLogger().getAppender("FILE"); // Existing Appender
//PatternLayout pattern = new PatternLayout("%m%n"); // create
a new pattern if required
FileAppender newFileAppender = new FileAppender ();
newFileAppender.setThreshold(Priority.DEBUG); // Set the
Threshold
newFileAppender.setName("New_FILE"); // Set new Appender name
if(oldFileAppender != null && oldFileAppender.getLayout()
!=null){
newFileAppender.setLayout(oldFileAppender.getLayout()); //
Set the existing layout
}
try {
newFileAppender.setFile(newLogFilePath); // Set new log file
path
newFileAppender.setWriter(new OutputStreamWriter // Set Output
Stream and Encoding
(new FileOutputStream(newLogFilePath),"IBM-1047"));
} catch(Exception exception){
System.out.println("Exception: " + exception);
}
Logger.getRootLogger().addAppender(newFileAppender);
System.out.println("Latest log file is in: " +
newLogFilePath);
// Remove the old log4j configuration
Logger.getRootLogger().removeAppender(oldFileAppender);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
###log4j.properties is here below #####
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG,FILE
log4j.category.org.apache.tools.ant.Project=WARN,FILE
log4j.appender.name=FILE
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.Append=true
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS}
%m%n
#log4j.appender.FILE.file=/users/iowt/online/hmo/logs/Test_Logger.log
log4j.appender.FILE.file=C:/temp23/Test_Logger.log
log4j.appender.FILE.encoding=IBM-1047
After deploying the app i am getting the Test_Logger.log created with path
C:/temp23/Test_Logger.log even if that path did not exist before.
But the log file that i want to generate dynamically
C:/tempTEST/hi/Test_Logger1.log (for example) which i have mentioned in
servlet file above is not getting generated.I am getting
FileNotFoundException for that file path in servlet file.
Please suggest how can i create that log file also which i have mention in
servlet file.
Thanks in advance...
