Problem with log4j + Jboss AS 7.1.1

[quirozariel21]

PD: Sorry for my english, I don´t Know English XD

Hi.. all

I have an web application with Jboss 7.1.1 + JSF 2.0 + Richfaces + Hibernate . Y want use log4j for show my logs.

My problem is wich no show me the messagges DEBUG however show me the messagges INFO.

Please Please help us in resolving this log4j + Jboss AS 7.1.1

So ready configure mi log4j.properties.xml:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout

### direct log messages to stdout ###

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out

log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

my jboss-deployment-structure.xml:

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

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">

    <deployment>

        <!-- Exclusions allow you to prevent the server from automatically adding some dependencies -->

        <sub-deployment name="your-subdeployment.jar">

    <exclusions>

        <module name="org.apache.log4j"/>

        <module name="org.slf4j" />

        <module name="org.apache.commons.logging"/>

        <module name="org.log4j"/> 

        <module name="org.jboss.logging"/>

    </exclusions>

</sub-deployment>

        <exclusions>

            <module name="org.apache.log4j" />

        </exclusions>

    </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

my  servlet:

import java.io.File;

import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;

import javax.servlet.ServletContext;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;

import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;

import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;

public class Log4JInitServlet extends HttpServlet{

    /**

     *

     */

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -3677208571865966932L;

    @Override

    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {

       System.out.println("Initialising log4j");

       String log4jLocation = config.getInitParameter("log4j-properties-location");

       ServletContext sc = config.getServletContext();

       if (log4jLocation == null) {

          System.out.println("No log4j properites...");

          BasicConfigurator.configure();

       } else {

          String webAppPath = sc.getRealPath("/");

          String log4jProp = webAppPath + log4jLocation;

          File output = new File(log4jProp);

          if (output.exists()) {

             System.out.println("Initialising log4j with: " + log4jProp);

             PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jProp);

          } else {

             System.out.println("Find not found (" + log4jProp + ").");

             BasicConfigurator.configure();

          }

       }

       super.init(config);

    }

}

and this is configure in my web.xml

  <servlet>

        <servlet-name>Log4jInitservlet</servlet-name>

        <servlet-class>com.comibolcore.util.Log4jInitservlet</servlet-class>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>log4j-properties-location</param-name>

            <param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.properties</param-value>

        </init-param>       

        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

    </servlet>

What does the logging configuration look like in your JBoss configuration (standalone.xml or domain.xml, depending on the mode you are using)?

Most likely, you need to lower the level of the root logger and the corresponding handler there.

My setup was so standalone.xml. How should I set up?.

[erasmomarciano]

Try

Replace

import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;

import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;

with

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;

import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

You don't use log4j

[quirozariel21]

ok. Then how should I configure my servlet?

[erasmomarciano]

You define

private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(GuideLogTester.class);

Into your metod

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,

            HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

You can use

            log.debug(

            log.fatal(

            log.info(

            log.error(

            log.trace(

            log.warn(

If you using a tool  Ecplise these steps are easy.

For compilance your servelt you have import this library

http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-logging/download_logging.cgi

[quirozariel21]

and configure my servlet and import the library that you mentioned me.

From the address you provided (http://goo.gl/UFJNL). I do not understand step two. If you could please help me

[erasmomarciano]

what does it mean ?

Step 2

You have to define the Logging/Handler

You can create the new Handler with Web Interface

Click on Profile (top-rigth)

Click on Core/Logging (columun-left)

Click on  Handler (NavBar Top)

You have to create a Logging/Handler 

run the web-interface and following these steps

Click on Profile (top-rigth)

Click on Core/Logging (columun-left)

Click on  Handler (NavBar Top)

[quirozariel21]

sorry but the Logging / Handler is the log4j.properties file?

log4j.rootLogger=info, stdout

### direct log messages to stdout ###

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out

log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

[erasmomarciano]

You don't use more log4j
