Logging from a custom action

[earniedyke]

Greetings all,

I have a custom action (see below) from which I am trying to log debug info to the JBoss server.log. The only output I see however is from the System.out.println. Should I not be able to use log4j logging from within an action?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

package org.ebsinc.itbridge.action;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.AbstractActionPipelineProcessor;
import org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.ActionProcessingException;
import org.jboss.soa.esb.helpers.ConfigTree;
import org.jboss.soa.esb.message.Message;

public class TestAction extends AbstractActionPipelineProcessor {
 private Logger log = Logger.getLogger(TestAction.class);

 protected ConfigTree config;

 public TestAction(ConfigTree config) {
 this.config = config;
 }

 public Message process(Message message) throws ActionProcessingException {
 System.out.println("TestAction is processing");
 log.debug("TestAction is processing");
 message.getBody().add("targetId", new Integer(8));
 log.debug("TestAction is complete");
 return message;
 }

}

Ever experience one of those brain farts where as soon as you hit the submit button, the answer to your question comes to you? Well I just had one. Helps if you check to make sure the threshold on your logger is DEBUG and not INFO.

Sorry for waisting bandwidth!

Hi earniedyke,

Have you tried to send the log to a different log file other than server.log. What I am trying is to seprate the lloging of my custom actions to a different file.

Thank you.
