Re: Tomcat DEBUG log4j and 5.5.4?
Getting log4j logging running in Tomcat-5.5.x is pretty simple. Here's what you
need...
1. Put log4j.jar in common/lib
2. Put commons-logging.jar (not commons-logging-api.jar!) in common/lib
3. Put log4j.xml or log4j.properties in common/classes
You'll want to look at the new naming scheme for Host and Context loggers in the
5.5 docs. Note that if you are using log4j-1.2.x, you can't use log4j.xml
because of the way the Host and Context loggers are named. They use characters
that conflict with what the XML spec defines as allowed characters for an
attribute of type ID. What I mean is the logger name attribute, which is
of type ID when using the DOMConfigurator. Log4j-1.3 deprecates the
DOMConfigurator in favor of the JoranConfigurator which doesn't validate
against a DTD, so there is no conflict there. For now, just use the properties
format. Here's a sample log4j.properties...

Does this actually work? I followed the steps for log4j and it won't
work at all. I still get the standard logging. Are there any properties
settings I can use to get more info on the bootstrap process?

RE: Tomcat and Log4J
Howdy, I could rant on this issue for a long time, but I'll stick to three points. Thanks for the advice. I tried using Log4J directly by one of my classes and, like you said, it worked. Ahh, good, a simple setup that works. However, I wanted to stick with commons logging since this is (supposedly) the most flexible logging solution. Thank you for providing something funny in today's boring batch of emails to this list. ;) Yes, let's take something simple that works and replace it with something complicated that may or may not work after some fidgeting and trial and error. However, I am surprised that this was all necessary. I am also surprised that it is (I think) undocumented. Undocumented? Search this and the log4j-user list's archives for many many many other people who've run into the same problems as you, and worse. You'll find many solutions, workaround, and black magic.

RE: Tomcat and Log4J
Kent,
A gothcha to be aware of: if you put log4j.jar in common/lib, all webapps
will share the same log4j configuration. This causes a race at server
startup - the last one to initialize log4j wins, ie gets it's own settings.
Everything else then logs into the same file. This is a symptom of static
variables loaded by the same class loader, so all webapps share the same
instance of the static log4j variables.
I put log4j.jar in each of my webapps' WEB-INF/lib folder to avoid this,
then each webapp can configure log4j to it's own requirements.

Shapira,
Thanks for the advice. I tried using Log4J directly by one of my classes
and, like you said, it worked. However, I wanted to stick with commons
logging since this is (supposedly) the most flexible logging solution.
Therefore, I tried sticking log4j.jar into ${TOMCAT_HOME}/common/lib and
log4j.xml into ${TOMCAT_HOME}/common/classes. This worked for Tomcat classes
but not my own (my log output was still going to stdout). This had me
stumped.
After further stuffing around, one of my work collegues mentioned he'd
gotten around this problem by including commons-logging.jar and
commons-logging-api.jar in his web app. I tried this and it worked. I then
removed commons-logging-api.jar from my web app and it still worked.
In a way this all kind of makes sense - my web app has its own commons
logging package which finds the log4j package and the configuration.
However, I am surprised that this was all necessary. I am also surprised
that it is (I think) undocumented.
Anyways, thanks for your help.

Kent

Re: Tomcat and Log4J
Hi Kent!
Our test environment it is exactly the same Tomcat 4.1.25/W2k, log4j 1.2.8
but we use the old-fashionate way to initialize log4j in a servlet'S init()
and setup the web.xml to load-on-startup one. And everything is working fine
... for almost an year.
Hope it's useful,
Lucian.
All,
I have been trying all day to get Tomcat and Log4J to cooperate. I have
looked through many posts to this mailing list but have been unable to
find
any extra information that helps me.
I am running Tomcat 4.1.27 on a Windows 2000 machine. My web app has
log4j-1.2.8.jar in its WEB-INF/lib directory. I have a config file called
log4j.xml in my WEB-INF directory. To load the configuration, I have a
ContextStartupListener implementation with this code in it:
//first things first - initialise the logging sub-system
try {
System.out.println(Initialising Log4J . . .);
String configFile =
WebAppContext.getContextParameter(log4j-config-file);
//provide default
if ((configFile == null) || (.equals(configFile.trim(
{
configFile = /WEB-INF/log4j.xml;
}
String filename =
getServletContext().getRealPath(configFile);
DOMConfigurator.configure(filename);
System.out.println(. . . done);
} catch (Throwable t) {
System.err.println(Exception occurred: + t);
t.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(System.err));
}
//now create the log
log =
org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getFactory().getInstance(StartupListen
er.class);
log.trace(trace enabled);
log.debug(debug enabled);
log.info(info enabled);
log.warn(warn enabled);
log.error(error enabled);
log.fatal(fatal enabled);
My log4j.xml file is defined as:
?xml version=1.0?
!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM log4j.dtd
log4j:configuration debug=false
xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/;
appender name=custom

param name=ConversionPattern value=%d
%-5p [%c] %m%n/
/layout
/appender
root
level value=debug/
appender-ref ref=custom/
/root
/log4j:configuration
As you can see, I have tried to redirect all logging for my webapp to a
custom log file. If I set the log4j.debug system property to true, I can
see
that Log4J is successfully finding and using my configuration file.
Indeed,
the custom.log file is created. However, none of my log statements are
directed to this file. Instead, they go straight to the console as per
usual. Also, the debug level is the same as usual (ie. level is info
instead
of debug as specified in config file).
What's really interesting is that there is some output in custom.log.
However, this output belongs to JBoss client classes (my application
utilises JBoss as an app server). Note that I am running Tomcat standalone
-
not as part of a JBoss installation. Here is a sample from custom.log:
2003-12-17 14:54:13,653 DEBUG

It seems Log4J is being used for JBoss client classes but not for my own.
What am I doing wrong here? I have also checked to ensure that
${CATALINA_HOME}/common/lib does not contain any logging-related JARs
except
for commons-logging-api.jar. Similarly, I have made sure that my web app
does not contain any logging-related JARs except for log4j-1.2.8.jar.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for even reading this far. I'd

Re: Tomcat Using Log4J ?
Bottom line is that, if you want Log4j logging to work properly, make sure log4j.jar is in WEB-INF/lib. I had unwanted Debugging-Output from org.apache.commons.Digester and org.apache.commons.Digester.sax that made it impossible to continue to work. Everytime i started Tomcat i had to wait 10 minutes for the initialization of a tag library, because of that crap debug output. This was the solution indeed. Thanks.

Re: tomcat 4.1.27 log4j problem
if you use log4j on a tomcat-wide basis (ie 1 configuration for the tomcat runtime and all your webapps), place your log4j.xml in [tomcat-home]/shared/classes/ if you use log4j on a per-webapp basis, make sure the log4j classes aren't on the tomcat classpath and configure commons-logging to use jdk logging (assuming you are using jdk 1.4).

RE: Tomcat with log4j output
Never put Log4j in jdk/jre/ext. You can put it in common/lib, but then also put it in the WEB-INF/lib of your webapp unless you are using a custom repository selector. Otherwise, Log4j uses a single logger repository (the default one) and every app that performs configuration will override the configuration of previously configured apps. Putting it in WEB-INF/lib will make it so you have a distinct logging environment and only that app will be configured in the default logger repository.

Quoting Abid Ali Teepo [EMAIL PROTECTED]: How come it has to be both in common/libs and in the WEB-INF ? What will i be missing if i only put it in WEB-INF ? Abid It isn't that is *has* to be in common/lib. You can have it only in WEB- INF/lib and be just fine. It *can* be in common/lib where it will be automagically used by commons-logging (the logging API that Tomcat uses) and if you were to use a custom repository selector, then you wouldn't need it in WEB- INF/lib at all because your app would be using the globally accessible log4j.jar but using a distinct logger repository for each application so that you wouldn't have to worry about different app's log4j configuration conflicting. Of course, as soon as an app depends on the default logger repository to be unique for itself, then you run into trouble, which is where the WEB-INF/lib idea will be far simpler to deal with.

RE: tomcat and log4j
Howdy, These are all log4j questions better suited to that list. But since the mutual tomcat/log4j interest is so common, it's alright to keep it here. Log4j does a classpath resource lookup for /log4j.properties as part of its default initialization procedure, as documented in the log4j manual. There's no magic here ;) Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics -Original Message- From: Dean A.

The file might be written to a weird directory or couldn't be written at all.
You should try an absolute path, like
log4j.appender.roll.File=${catalina.home}/logs/xxx.log

Re: tomcat and log4j
Howdy, It does work if you place logj4.properties in WEB-INF/classes and log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib. If you could please be a bit more explicity when you say This does not seem to be working perhaps I could help more. Yoav Shapira --- Dean A.

Re: tomcat and log4j
Thanks for responding. I'm just going by what it says in the log4j manual: The default log4j initialization is particularly useful in web-server environments. Under Tomcat 3.x and 4.x, you should place the |log4j.properties| under the |WEB-INF/classes| directory of your web-applications. Log4j will find the properties file and initialize itself.
