Log4j and JBoss 4.2.3 not creating file.

[jadin]

I am having some trouble with Log4J on JBoss 4.2.3 AS.  I know that JBoss has it's own log4j setup, but I am trying to keep my application independent from the rest of the project.  I set up class loading isolation as follows:

{code}

<

jboss-web>

<loader-repository>

net.sourceforge.gateway:loader=GatewayLoader

<loader-repository-config>

java2ParentDelegation=false

</loader-repository-config>

</loader-repository>

</

jboss-web>

{code}

and here is my log4j file:

{code}

<?

xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!

DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<

log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="true">

<appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">

<param name="Target" value="System.out" />

<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{1} - %m%n" />

</layout>

</appender>

<appender name="appender" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">

<param name="File" value="gateway.log"/>

<param name="Append" value="true"/>

<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %p - %m%n"/>

</layout>

</appender>

<root>

<appender-ref ref="appender"/>

</root>

</

log4j:configuration>

{code}

My application still refuses to create the file gateway.log, but it prints out to the console.  Also, the log4j jar file is in the lib folder.

No idea huh? Do my files looks correct?

Perhaps your log4j config file isn't being picked up. See if this helps http://community.jboss.org/message/198690#198690

I have my jboss-web.xml posted about my log4j config file in this post.

That's just one part of what's required to get it working. You also have to place the log4j jar and the log4j config files at the right place.

Log4j.jar is in the WEB-INF/lib folder and the log4j.xml is in src/main/resources along with my hibernate config.

You mean the final .war contains a folder named src/main/resources? Or is this your source location before the build? Where does the log4j.xml finally end up in the .war. Post the output of

jar -tf yourwar.war

[jadin]

The log4j config file deploys to

myapp.war/WEB-INF/classes

Output of jar -jt coming later.

[jadin]

I have jar -tf'ed the war file

Here is some of the output(just log4j stuff)

WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml

WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar

Still not creating the log file at all...
