In order to use my own log4j.xml-file, I have to do a little work as described here
http://community.jboss.org/wiki/Log4jRepositorySelector.
It is uncomfortable to do such a overhead only for registering my own log4j.xml.
First Question:
Is that workaround also needed for Jboss 5/6 or does jboss 6 has better support for different log4j.xml-files ?
Second Question:
I need a appender, which writes my logs into a String (outputstream) - I want to save this string as a Clob into my database.
I guess, I have to configure such an appender programmatically by using a WriterAppender. So I need to get access to my logger via Code!
But I do not want to use "org.jboss.logging.Logger" into my application code, as my application code should be application-server-independent !!
// http://docs.jboss.org/process-guide/en/html/logging.html
import org.jboss.logging.Logger;
public class TestABCWrapper
{
private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(TestABCWrapper.class.getName());
// Hereafter, the logger may be used with whatever priority level as appropriate.
}
How can I do that with log4j-jboss.xml ? Why can I not use the log4j-api? Are there any convenients to do such a thing? (I do NOT want to use the JDBCAppender).
Or should I read the log-file via FileReader (the file which is in jboss/logs-directory) and convert it to a String?
What is best practice?
