Hi,

I use MyEclipse 5.1 and Java 1.5, but apparently my log4j.properties is not read and the log level defaults to INFO level.

I placed my properties file (listed below) in the /src of my Web project.

I even set the following flags in Windows > Preferences > Tomcat 5 > JDK

-Dlog4j.debug -Dlog4j.configuration=${workspace_loc}/log4j.properties


Neither take effect. The other possibility is that the log4j.properties is not correct!!!

Regards,
Ramin


log4j.rootLogger=ALL, stdout, file
### direct log messages to stdout ###
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

### direct messages to file tl.log ###
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
# Windows
log4j.appender.file.File=C:/TL/workspace/TLWeb/WebRoot/WEB-INF/tl.log
# Unix Server
#log4j.appender.file.File=/home/sportlog/tmp/tl.log
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

# To log for specific package/class: log4j.logger.<path>=<LEVEL>
#log4j.logger.com.tl=FINEST

Ramin,
Is the logger even working? Meaning is your tl.log file getting updated at all?

I don’t think you should need to specify the log4j.properties the way you have, simply having it on your classpath should work for your webapp.

Hi Riyad,

the default logging to the console at Ithe default level of INFO is working.
But no tl.log file. It is not created anywhere.

aparently, it is not read at all.

Hmm… can you go to your Tomcat connector preferences, and go to the Paths panel, then try and add the dir with the log4j file directly to the classpath?
