Log4j Configuration with Servlet

Hi all, Does anybody know if there is any particular care to let Log4j log inside a servlet? By now, I've just added the log4j.properties file in WEB-INF/classes (under Tomcat) of my application, as suggested in the short-manual (http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html). Am I f

AW: Log4j Configuration with Servlet

Hi, - create a servlet with an init method, which configures your log4j properties. - WEB-INF/webx.ml create an entry to init the servlet while server start. One property of this entry is the path to your log4j config-file (if your file is in /classes you can use reflection CLASSNAME.class.getRess

RE: Log4j Configuration with Servlet

Howdy, While Mr. (?) Lenharcik's suggestion will work, I'd suggest doing it slightly differently: use a ServletContextListener and initialize log4j in the contextInitialized() method. That will get called before any servlet's init() method. And the contextDestroyed() method of that listener is a

Hi, Howdy, While Mr. (?) Lenharcik's suggestion will work, I'd suggest doing it slightly differently: use a ServletContextListener and initialize log4j in the contextInitialized() method. Mr is right; But only if you are using the servlet api 2.3 this would be work. My solution was done before.

using 2 priorities in one category

hi I ve got a little problem! I want to use a SMTPAppender and a Socketappender. All messages should be send at the socketappender and "fatal error" at the SMTPAppender! How ca I do that? Is it possible to use to priorities in one category(Socketappender=debug and SMTPAppender=fatal)?? Thanks Nina

RE: Log4j Configuration with Servlet

Howdy, >Mr is right; But only if you are using the servlet api 2.3 this would be >work. My solution was done before... ;-) That's true. My solution requires servlet API 2.3 or later, and I should've mentioned that. In fact, until v2.3 came out, I had a load-on-startup servlet as well. The only

Hi, You need to use a DailyRollingFileAppender. You'll get the rollover and file naming (no overwriting). See the javadoc for org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender and examples in the mailing list archives for this list. Unless I completely misunderstood your question? Yoav Shapira Millenni

Jacob Kjome has pointed us at his log4j init servlet in the past. It is really quite full featured and definitely worth taking a look. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4j-dev&m=103725695000410&w=2 Yoav's point about using the context listeners (requiring Servlet 2.3) is very valid, and going f

Problem Fixed, Thanks to You

Thank you very much, it's working nicely now. My log4j.xml appender def'n now looks like. I guess I was having problems because there aren't any decent DailyRollingFileAppender examples that use a config.xml file in the archives, and the

MW> Jacob, do you think you can make an "official" apache submission (with all MW> the correct apache headers, etc)? Is there some place that describes all that, or should I just copy the license from some other Log4j file and paste it into Log4jCRS? Jake -- To unsubscribe, e-mail:

RE: Re[4]: Log4j Configuration with Servlet

I'm sure there is, but I think any log4j source file will provide enough example. It is basically just the license header info at the top, AFAIK. -Mark > -Original Message- > From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 1:48 PM > To: Log4J Users List >

Catching uncaught exceptions

This is really two problems, but since it is concerned with logging I give you both. We have created a Java client, and now we wish to log all uncaught exceptions. As it is now exceptions thrown in threads and other uncaught exceptions are written to standard error out I believe. I think that I

Use Jim Moore's LoggingOutputStream. You'll find it in his log4j contrib directory in the release. The javadoc describes how to use it to redirect System.out and System.err. Best regards, Jim Cakalic -Original Message- From: Thomas Saxtoft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] S

Hello Mark, Here it is (zip file attached). I set the package as org.apache.log4j.spi and commented out the imports from that package. If it is going to a separate package, feel free to modify it. Jake Thursday, December 12, 2002, 3:53:38 PM, you wrote: MW> I'm sure there is, but I think any

permissions in FileAppender

If I send logs from one app to another over SocketAppender and the listener writes to a FileAppender, am I correct that write permissions are dependent only on the user who ran the server, and NOT the user who generated the log? Put another way, Log4j doesn't care about userid's and passwords? It

Thanks! If you had to rename this class, would ClassLoaderRepositorySelector or ClassLoaderSelector be okay? Since it will in log4j, I don't think the class name needs to start with Log4j... -Mark > -Original Message- > From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, Dece

Hi Mark, Sure, that's fine. I think Ceki's description of it as a contextual repository selector is a good one, though. So, maybe ContextualRepositorySelector.java unless that would describe a whole class of selectors not all necessarily keying the logger repositories on the classloade
