HornetQ-2.3.0.Alpha logging on Windows generates no output

[mjustin]

Hello,

with the current download version and also with a fresh compiled version, starting on Windows (Vista 32 Bit) shows this error:

Bad level value for property: handler.CONSOLE.level

Bad level value for property: handler.FILE.level

And no log entries appear on console and in the logs directory.

The error messages disappear if I modify the configuration in logging.properties and set

handler.CONSOLE.level=DEBUG

...

handler.FILE.level=DEBUG

to INFO instead of DEBUG.

p.s. I verified on Ubunto 12.04 that version 2.3.0.Alpha logging works there as expected.

Perhaps it's using the wrong properties file?

This is the properties file (config\stand-alone\non-clustered\logging.properties):

I only unpack the hornetq-2.3.0Alpha zip and start the broker.

Nothing but this appears on the console:

Bad level value for property: handler.CONSOLE.level

Bad level value for property: handler.FILE.level

and there is no log file in the logs directory.

If I modify the file and set the logger level to INFO instead of DEBUG the "Bad level" messages disappear so I think I am editing the right configuration file.

Using JConsole I can see the JMX MBeans of HornetQ and the java.util.logging loggers.

Is the logging configuration compatible with earlier versions? I see that in HornetQ 2.2.14 the default logging configuration is much shorter.

p.s. I copied the original 2.2.14 logging.properties over the 2.3.0.Alpha release logging.properties and it works now.

Thanks...

I asked Andy Taylor to take a look on it... as he did the integration of logging on 2.3.0

[ataylor]

there is an issue with both startuip scripts which I have now fixed in master, Michael if you could update the run scripts from https://github.com/hornetq/hornetq/commit/59ea862c44c16fc61e4a8f8ec5f341c2a18a62bf then all should be fine.

[mjustin]

Yes, everything is fine with this fixed starte up script. Many thanks!
