: Hi, thanks. I looked at these sites, and also the info about "java
: logging":
: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/logging/overview.html
:
: But I couldn't really follow the info about configuration for logging.
typically you create a logging.properties file and put it in your
classpath -- but there are frequently easier ways to control the logging
based on the servlet container that's running Solr. Hence my suggestion
that you look at the Jetty wiki page (since you asked about Jetty) ... but
i see now that page links you to a jetty tutorial that no longer seems to
exist ... which is a pity.
I honestly have no idea what the Jetty recommended manner is for
configuring JUL as it might be used by webapps like Solr. Jetty has a lot
of documentation about how it uses SLF4J if it finds it in the
(global) classpath, so you could consider adding the SLF4J jars of your
choice, and then configure everything in a single manner externally.
: The user manual for SLF4J tells you how to call the log methods - but
: not how to actually configure it to write to a file:
I think you are missunderstanding the point of SLF4J -- it's an
abstraction layer that exists only as an internal API. it has no
configuration mechanism of anykind, it just proxies to whatever
implementation is wired in at runtime based on the jars that get loaded.
solr.war has the slf4j-jdk14-*.jar bundled into it, so it uses JDK (aka
JUL aka JDK 1.4) logging by default which (as i mentioned) ... "typically
you create a logging.properties file and put it in your classpath -- but
there are frequently easier ways to control the logging based on the
servlet container that's running Solr."
In any case, it soundsl like you did in fact get Java to load your
logging.properties file, and you did in fact get log messages into your
files, but...
...
: And here I can see lots of log stuff... but not my own, so something's not
right.
...what is "lots of log stuff" ? ... what is "my own" that you are
expecting to see, but aren't? ... what exactly are you doing? (ie: what
code did you write, how are you running jetty, where did you put your
logging.properties, etc... details, details, details.)
