Re: log4j struts

[Frank W. Zammetti]

You can configure Log4J from a Struts plugin, although you will get a 
configuration warning when Struts starts up before the plugin fires. 
Here's some init code I've used (roughly... I don't actually use init 
parameters and I construct a real path from a virtual path, and I do 
some other hackery of the config file on-the-fly, so this is trimmed 
down a bit, but I think it's close to what you want)...

String lConfigFile = servlet.getInitParameter("pathToLog4JConfigFile");
FileReader fr = new FileReader(lConfigFile);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
StringBuffer sbXML = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) { sbXML.append(line); }
br.close();
String xml = sbXML.toString();
InputStream isXML = new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes());
new DOMConfigurator().doConfigure(isXML, LogManager.getLoggerRepository());
Category cat = Category.getInstance(getClass().getName());
cat.info("Log4J initialized");
Might not be the prettiest, but it works.

Subject: log4j struts
I want to use log4j with my struts app.  Can I use the struts-config.xml to
specify log4j as an init parameter and point it to its external properties
file? Or do i have to make my own front controller servlet for that?
thanks
