Ralph,
Thanks for your reply! The two log4j jar files were put in the application's
WEB-INF/lib folder. Anything needs to be changed in the web.xml? One
application uses JDK 11, JSF2.3 and the other one uses JDK 11, GWT2.9 etc.
Please see below for the log4j2.properties file that was put in the resource
folder of the application. We commented it out since we tries to use the server
side log4j2.properties file which has the same format and values.
The "application.log" file can not be generated on server side. The logging
output only goes to the weblogic console output.
#rootLogger.level = DEBUG
#appenders = writeToFile, console
#monitorInterval=10
#appenders=writeToFile, console
#appender.console.type = Console
#appender.console.name = STDOUT
#appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
#appender.console.layout.pattern = %d %5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n
#appender.writeToFile.type = RollingFile
#appender.writeToFile.name = File
#appender.writeToFile.fileName = /app001/applogs/application.log
#appender.writeToFile.filePattern = ${filename}.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}
#appender.writeToFile.layout.type = PatternLayout
#appender.writeToFile.layout.pattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %c{1} [%p] %m%n
#appender.writeToFile.policies.type = Policies
#appender.writeToFile.policies.size.type=SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
#appender.writeToFile.policies.size.size=20MB
#appender.writeToFile.strategy.type=DefaultRolloverStrategy
#appender.writeToFile.strategy.max=10
#rootLogger.appenderRefs = writeToFile, console
#rootLogger.appenderRef.console.ref = STDOUT
#rootLogger.appenderRef.writeToFile.ref = File
many thanks,
Jenny
