Thanks for the help to everyone; I also received a similar response on Stack Overflow. Below is the corrected xml file that will validate. The one item I can't seem to specify is the max file size for the file appender (its not a rolling appender).
1. The schema does not have an Appender called File defined a type of File is used. 2. The schema defines that the Root node occurs after all the Logger nodes <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Configuration strict="true" xmlns="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/config" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/logging-log4j2/log4j-2.11.1/log4j-c ore/src/main/resources/Log4j-config.xsd"> <Appenders> <Appender type="File" name="file" fileName="mylogfile.log"> <Layout type="PatternLayout" pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z} %-5level - %msg%n" /> </Appender> <Appender type="Console" name="console"> <Layout type="PatternLayout" pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z} %-5level - %msg%n" /> </Appender> </Appenders> <Loggers> <Logger name="org.apache.http" level="WARN" additivity="false"> <AppenderRef ref="console"/> <AppenderRef ref="file"/> </Logger> <Logger name="net.authorize.util" level="WARN" additivity="false"> <AppenderRef ref="console"/> <AppenderRef ref="file"/> </Logger> <Logger name="net.authorize.api" level="WARN" additivity="false"> <AppenderRef ref="console"/> <AppenderRef ref="file"/> </Logger> <Logger name="com.amazonaws" level="WARN" additivity="false"> <AppenderRef ref="console"/> <AppenderRef ref="file"/> </Logger> <Root level="DEBUG"> <AppenderRef ref="console"/> <AppenderRef ref="file"/> </Root> </Loggers> </Configuration> Thank you .ed Ed Zappulla BSG Systems, LLC 17 Red Tail Hawk Ct Annandale, NJ 08801 Mobile: (908) 246-5304 Email: ed.zappu...@bsgsystems.com -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Goers [mailto:ralph.go...@dslextreme.com] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2019 12:42 AM To: Log4J Users List <log4j-user@logging.apache.org> Subject: Re: Lohg4j2 Schema Errors You have specified strict= true but then not followed the format required when that attribute is specified.
