I'm having a problem configuring log4j with Apache Tomcat 8.0.17. I'm
using OpenSUSE 13.2 with OpenJDK 8.0:
linux:>java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_40"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b14, mixed mode)
I'm following the instructions in the log4j section of the Logging in
Tomcat section of the Tomcat documentation. The steps do not appear to
work, and there is no information in the log file that I can see that
would assist me in troubleshooting this.
Referencing the steps:
1) I have created log4j.properties in $CATALINA_BASE/lib. The file is
readable by the tomcat user.
linux:/srv/tomcat/lib # ls -al log4j.properties
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2343 Jan 21 12:57 log4j.properties
2) I have downloaded log4j 1.2 or later (version 2.1)
3) I have downloaded tomcat-juli-adapters.jar and tomcat-juli.jar
4) I have placed log4j.jar and tomcat-juli-adapters in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
linux:/usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.17/lib # ls -alh log4j-core-2.1.jar
tomcat-juli-adapters.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 806K Jan 21 12:26 log4j-core-2.1.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32K Jan 21 11:54 tomcat-juli-adapters.jar
I have replaced the tomcat-juli.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/bin with the one
from the extras directory.
linux:/usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.17/bin # ls -al tomcat-juli.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 78644 Jan 21 11:55 tomcat-juli.jar
5) N/A
6) I have deleted logging.properties from $CATALINA_BASE/conf
7) I have started tomcat using JSVC with the command:
JSVC=/usr/local/bin/jsvc
$JSVC \
-cp
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar \
-home $JDK_HOME \
-user $TC_USER \
-outfile $CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out \
-errfile $CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.err \
-pidfile $PIDFILE \
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager \
-Dorg.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager.debug=true \
-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE \
-Dcatalina.home=$CATALINA_HOME \
-Djava.io.tmpdir=$CATALINA_BASE/temp \
-Djava.awt.headless=true \
-Dcatalina.port=$CATALINA_PORT \
-Dmail.smtp.localhost=$FQDNHOSTNAME \
$JAVA_MEM_OPTIONS \
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
Examination of the $CATALINA_BASE/logs directory shows:
linux:/srv/tomcat/logs # ls -al
total 12
drwxrws--- 1 root tomcat 186 Jan 21 12:57 .
drwxr-x--- 1 root tomcat 90 Jan 21 12:56 ..
-rw------- 1 root tomcat 11912 Jan 21 12:57 catalina.err
-rw------- 1 root tomcat 0 Jan 21 12:57 catalina.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat 0 Jan 21 12:57
localhost_access_log.2015-01-21.txt
There are no mentions of log4j in catalina.err.
If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
