Hallo Guy, we have developed a servlet which is loaded at the startup of orion (via the <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> in the servlet-definition in web.xml) and initialises the log4j-framework according to a properties-file.
This will set up the loging-configuration globally, though... greetings Rob ---------SOURCE AHEAD------------- package com.scaraboo.logging; import javax.servlet.http.*; import org.apache.log4j.*; /** * Title: Log4jInitServlet initializes log4j-logging for JSP. * Description: This servlet should be loaded at startup, definition in * /WEB-INF/web.xml: * <pre> *<?xml version="1.0"?> *<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd"> * *<web-app> * <servlet> * <servlet-name>log4j-init</servlet-name> * <servlet-class>com.scaraboo.logging.Log4jInitServlet</servlet-class> * <init-param> * <param-name>cfg_file</param-name> * <param-value>logging.cfg</param-value> * </init-param> * <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> * </servlet> *</web-app> * </pre> * Copyright: Copyright (c) 2001 * Company: scaraboo GmbH * @author Robert Virkus, [EMAIL PROTECTED] * @version 1.0 * @see <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/documentation.html";>http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j</a> */ public class Log4jInitServlet extends HttpServlet { private static Category LOG = Category.getInstance( Log4jInitServlet.class.getName() ); public void init() { String cfgpath = "logging.cfg"; if (getInitParameter( "cfg_file" ) != null) cfgpath = getInitParameter( "cfg_file" ); PropertyConfigurator.configure( cfgpath ); LOG.info("logging configuration is set according to configuration-file [" + cfgpath + "]." ); } public void doGet( HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp ) { // do nothing, servlet should just be loaded at startup } } Thursday, January 31, 2002, 7:15:09 PM, you wrote: DGTL> Well I've followed all these instructions but have fallen over on a couple DGTL> of counts: DGTL> 1- Using a BasicConfigurator, which is initialised within a singleton, DGTL> nothing is displayed, it's as if log4j has gobbled up all my messages :-( DGTL> 2- If I try and use a DOMConfigurator it can't find the config file.
