Subject: tomcat and log4j version - any dependency issues?
From: jmart...@gmail.com
To: users@tomcat.apache.org
Hi,
I am using Tomcat 5.5.28 with JDK 1.5 (and 1.6 on different machine). Right
now I have log4j 1.2 version, but I would like use log4j 1.3+ now. Are there
any dependency/support issues that I should consider?

Many features original developed for log4j 1.3 have been back-ported as companions for log4j 1.2. No further development is anticipated for log4j 1.3. Apache log4j 2.0 is an experimental development branch for logging services designed for Java 5 and later. === So I think you should reconsider switching to 1.3. It's a dead end street.

Re: tomcat and log4j version - any dependency issues?
Thanks for sharing this info. I was considering 1.3 version for better management - purging log files before certain date, log4j 1.3 provides max. backup index option with DailyRollingFileAppender. I am also looking at logrotate and cronolog for this, but not sure if I could use it in conjunction with DailyRollingFileAppender. Any thoughts? -- jM.

Many of the rolling policy additions have been backported to 1.2. I've got no experience on my own with those, and since they are not bundled, they might still not be in wide use, so use with care: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/ http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/apidocs/index.html There's not much docs for it around, you can get some things from the javadoc, other info from the abandoned 1.3 branch might apply to the extras. One example for what you are looking for could be TimeBasedRollingPolicy. One example for how to use it can be found on http://wiki.apache.org/logging-log4j/Log4jXmlFormat Regards, Rainer - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
