RepositorySelector and hibernate log

[boby]

Hello,

In order to get my own log4j.xml in my application, I use the .sar log4j.sar of https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-1313.
That works well, my log4j is loaded.

My problem is that the all hibernate's log uses the first log4j loaded by an application. In my case, either my own log4j.xml or the log4j of jboss. However, I renamed the log4j of jboss to jboss-log4.xml.

Thus, may we have the hibernate's log of an application, app1, in app1.log and the hibernate's log of an app2 in app2.log for example ? If we cant, so is it possible that hibernate uses the jboss-log4j.xml by default ?

Thanks.

I forgot, Im using JBoss-4.0.5GA

In fact, it would be more simple to use the jboss-log4j.xml to manage the log config for each application. The inconvenient is to have to manage this file on every Jboss server, but this solution avoids the problems with the Log4jRepositorySelector which seems to me hard to apply perfectly.

Im gonna thinking.

I have to agree with this. The repository selector approach looks a bit complicated and i have seen posts in this forums where users have tried configuring it without much luck.

JBoss-4.2.x makes configuring your own log4j.xml very easy. If you have an option of moving to JBoss-4.2.x, let us know, we can point you to a thread where configuring log4j config file is explained.

Your thread could interest to me. I m curious to know how we can configure own log4j in JBoss-4.2. This thread may give some ideas even if I cant move to JBoss-4.2 today.

Thanks a lot. Anyway, I think to give up the Log4jRepositorySelector.

Thinking more about this, i guess you could achieve the same in JBoss-4.0.5 GA too, if you are willing to rename %JBOSS_HOME%/server/< serverName>/conf/log4j.xml to something else (ex: jboss-log4j.xml)

Thanks for your advice. I chose the jboss-log4j.xml to configure my application's log. I'll see later to use some log4j for each application in .ear with JBoss5.

I dont prefer avoiding your last solution which is the classloader scoping, as said in this Wiki :
http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-12003.
However, it may be interesting sometimes.

Thanks again.
