Question on log.debug

[valatharv]

Hi,

Not able to get the output of log.debug()

I am missing some trival configuration.... pls suggest
log.info() & log.warn() is printing but I am not able to get the output of log.debug()

I have log4j.xml only under "workspace\project\bootstrap".

build-dev.properties
--------------------
debug=true
action.dir=WEB-INF/dev

TestHome.java
-------------
@Logger
Log log;

System.out.println("CHECK DEBUG ENABLED : "+ log.isDebugEnabled());
System.out.println("CHECK ERROR ENABLED : "+ log.isErrorEnabled());
System.out.println("CHECK INFO ENABLED : "+ log.isInfoEnabled());
log.info("testHome.add(), Entered");
log.debug("testHome.add(), debug Entered"); //THIS IS NOT printing
log.warn("testHome.add(), warn Entered");

Output:
------
[STDOUT] CHECK DEBUG ENABLED : true
[STDOUT] CHECK ERROR ENABLED : true
[STDOUT] CHECK INFO ENABLED : true

[testHome] testHome.add(), Entered
15:01:41,728 WARN  [testHome] testHome.add(), warn Entered

I guess that this log4j.xml is only for the test project.  To set you project up, you have to have a log4j.xml in classpath of your project.

Ok I added log4j.xml it in ear as well as jar but it didn't worked
projectSeam.ear
   log4j.xml
   projectSeam.jar
     log4j.xml

I am trying to create separate file...
a) first of all it is not creating log file "C:\\aa\\projectTest.log"
b) secondly it prints the console output as per my last post but not printing debug statement even Debug is enabled as true..

Please suggest what I am missing.....

If you are running JBOSS, use C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\conf\jboss-log4j.xml

[valatharv]

Yes Ingo, we are using jboss-4.2.3.GA.
If I use default configuration, logs are very extensive and size grows to 3 mb when I click login.. are there any steps which can reduce / bypass some default jboss logging.

Hi Val, I just wanted to point out that, under JBOSS, it is not log4j.xml in your project but rather C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\conf\jboss-log4j.xml

I suppose that if you want to reduce the volume of logging you would need to adapt your log4j configuration file to your requirements.
