Hello,

We have a requirement to use external server-side log4j2.properties file for 
our log4j2 upgrade projects. After using the following jar files in the project 
and use the code below to configure log4j with an external log4j2 property 
file. We still see logging output goes to the WebLogic console instead of the 
application's log file.

If we put the log4j2.properties file in the project's classpath, the 
application log file can be generated on the server. However, we're required to 
use the external server side log4j property file.

log4j-api-2.17.0.jar
log4j-core-2.17.0.jar

LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
context.setConfigLocation(new File(log4jConfigurationPath).toURI());

Please help shed some light on this. We've spent much time and efforts on this 
issue, but still no luck.

Your help is much appreciated,
Jenny




We set log4j configuration in context.xml file the web application. Our log4j configuration file does not even reside on the same server as same configuration file is shared between multiple servers. We set the context property log4jConfiguration and rest of the pieces fall in place automatically.  We find this useful rather than setting system property as multiple applications are running.


Don't have access to code right now to see if the property is being read by someone else and processed differently.

Niranjan
