I'm having a right job trying to configure the default logger within tomcat. I want to use log4j and set it at a DEBUG level.
I've added all the commons-logging.jar and log4j.jar packages to the classpath, but every time I declare the properties file I wish to use prior to these, it doesn't seem as if the log4j.properties file I want to be read is. The output remains the same.
I've also tried to remedy this using the same method within the tomcatw.exe app, as I read that tomcat doesn't read the default CLASSPATH environment variables used by Windows XP and creates its own. This still yields no joy. Also with this app I have tried specifying the "log4j.configuration=/file" /property using the line "-Dlog4j.configuration=C:\src\logging\log4jservice\log4j.properties" under the java options. Still the file does not seem to be found.
Currently my properties file lies in a different directory foo/bar/log4j.properties which I specify in the classpath, but as I say it doesn't seem to be picked up. I've even placed it under CATALINA_HOME/common/lib with the jar files in CATALINA_HOME/common/classes, under the reference of the Tomcat 5.5 version, hoping this might work..it doesn't. (Incidentally, I can't use Tomcat 5.5 due to restrictions on the software I'm going to generate).
Log4J works fine standalone, I've built a number of apps with it, just not under tomcat it would seem.
Can anyone make any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ian
