How to write a custom appender in JBoss 6.0.GA?
Hello,
All I need to create a seperate log file for my application-logging.
I have modified "{JBOSS}\server\default\deploy\jboss-logging.xml" file and added following declaration for my custom appender.
<log4j-appender name="MYAPP_FILE_APPENDER" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/myapp.log" />
<param name="Append" value="true" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd MMM yyy HH:mm:ss}, %-6p %C:%M:%L %m %n" />
</layout>
</log4j-appender>
<logger category="com.im.logger">
<priority value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="MYAPP_FILE_APPENDER" />
</logger>
Jboss throws error during startup. Basically it does not like "<param name="File" ...." under "<log4j-appender...".
Then how should I specify the log file location?
Is this feature supported in JBoss 6.0.Final ????
or I have to use a log4j.properties in my application-classpath ??????
This is a very common requirement and used to work in earlier release of JBoss.
