Here is how I do it:
1. Extend ActionServlet and overwrite init method
public void init( ServletConfig config ) throws ServletException {
initAppLog( config );
super.init( config );
...;
}
2. Initialize log4j
//-------------------------------------------------------- Log4j
Initialization
private void initAppLog(ServletConfig config) {
try {
DOMConfigurator.configure(
config.getServletContext().getRealPath (
config.getInitParameter( "logConfig" )));
cat = Category.getInstance(this.getClass().getName());
cat.info( "Logging Initialized" );
}
catch( Throwable t ) {
this.log( t );
}
}
3. In your action initianilize Category and start using it:
cat = Category.getInstance(this.getClass().getName());
cat.info("...");
etc.
You have to make sure you have all necessary jars and property file in the
appropriate places.
Mark.
P.S. I am running struts 1.01 with tiles

Subject: RE: Struts 1.1b/log4j
Can you please tell me the file in the log4j download tar.gz file that
tells how to configure log4j to work with struts? I did a grep for struts
in the whole log4j download and the only mention of it in the entire thing
were links to http://jakarta.apache.org/struts (and a couple of email
messages that have no documentation). I downloaded 1.1.3. Maybe it's in
a different version. Please tell me what version to download also.
I know how to use log4j, I just don't know which Categories struts 1.1b
uses in log4j. I now know that one is
org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet. Is that the only one? Is this
documented anywhere?
Thank you very much for your help
Jay
