Logging

[jwilleke]

I have spent the day trying to configure the ability to log to a file for ONE application with no success.

Any help is appreciated.

I will assume that you added a new file appender to jboss-log4j.xml. Let's assume that this appender is named MYFILE. Assuming your app uses the package name com.xxx.myapp, add this category:

<category name="com.xxx.myapp">
 <priority value="INFO"/>
 <appender-ref ref="MYFILE" />
 </category>

yes, I added my appender to .../jboss/conf/log4j.xml

My Appender looks like:














<appender-ref ref="APASS"/>



<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
<appender-ref ref="APASS"/>


So I get all the entries for everything EXCEPT the ones I want.
(Items sent to APASSfileLogger)

Try this again.

Yes, I added my appender to .../jboss/conf/log4j.xml



My Appender looks as below.

 <appender name="APASS" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/apass.log"/>
 <param name="Append" value="false"/>
 <param name="MaxFileSize" value="5000KB"/>
 <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10"/>
 <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>
 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %p %c %C{1} %M(%L) %m%n"/>
 </layout>
</appender>


<category name="APASSfileLogger" additivity="false">
 <priority value="DEBUG" />
 <appender-ref ref="APASS"/>
</category>

 <root>
 <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
 <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
 <appender-ref ref="APASS"/>
 </root>

By adding appender-ref to root, you will end up getting all logging showing up in apass.log. Remove that:

<root>
 <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
 <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
 </root>
