    trouble with log4j configuration in app server.

    midvale

      Hello:

      I get the following errors when I start up jBoss (4.2.1.GA):
      -------------------------------------------------


      ERROR [STDERR] log4j:ERROR A "org.jboss.logging.appender.FileAppend
      er" object is not assignable to a "org.apache.log4j.Appender" variable.

      ERROR [STDERR] log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "FILE".



      My jboss-log4j.xml file is as follows:
      -----------------------------------

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
      <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false">
















      <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>











      <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->


















      <appender-ref ref="HVGN"/>







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


      </log4j:configuration>


      ------------------------------------------------

      The log file for the HVGN appender is created but nothing is written to it when "duke" and descendant package class files issue log
      statements. In addition, despite the error with the FILE appender,
      content is still written to server.log. I don't see an error in my jboss-log4j.xml file. I tried to substitue in
      "jboss.logging.appender" for the class attributes in the appenders, but I get the same errors.

      Anybody got any ideas?

            OK, why is my code invisible? I disabled HTML.
