I am sure something is broken in tomcat. This is not a dependency issue as
the build runs file and manually logging info with log4j also works (see
below). The problem seems when wicket logs using slf4j and this only goes to
catalina.log (I cannot get this redirected to my own log file).
If I understand this correctly, wicket uses slf4j to log its own internals.
With tomcat6, I am supposed to then configure log4j (or any adapter that I
want to) to get that information to the location I would like to (a local
text log file).
I am trying to enable wicket's requestlog debugging and directing the output
to my application log file for later inspection.
If I run the following code, I get a message in catalina.out (I also get all
the debug information from wicket requestlogger on catalina.out)
Logger logger=LoggerFactory.getLogger(Logger.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME);
logger.info("AUTH PAGE ACCESSED");
When I run the code under a debugger, I can see that logger points to
catalina.out, so clearly I failed to point rootLogger to another file with
either of my log4j.properties settings.
Note however, that if I use org.apache.log4j.Logger then I can correctly
dump logging infor to my target file
Logger.getRootLogger().info("AUTHPAGE Logged with Logger.getRootLogger()");
Here is my question:
1. What is the correct procedure to enable request logging with wicket and
tomcat so that each of my applications dumps its request data to a specific
text file?
Thanks for all the feedback so far.
Pieter
here is my log4j.properties in my tomcat lib directory
