Apache logger configuration over Jboss Logger configuration

[rsmastermind]

I tried everything to configure apache logger (commons-logging-1.1.1.jar) but it doen't work.

I have changed jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deployers\jbossweb.deployer\META-INF\war-deployers-jboss-beans.xml file .

uncommented the line

<property name="useJBossWebLoader">false</property>

Line changed to:-

<property name="filteredPackages">javax.servlet</property>

Here is what I find in console

When I removed the commons-logging-1.1.1.jar from server classpath then the above error message is not coming rather I am getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory because of spring jars which requires commonn logging jars.

[rsmastermind]

After doing some workout I got the reason

1.The war which are present in "default" directory (server node) like admin-console.war should have commons logging jars in WEB-INF lib directory but even after this you can get the error for your own war(application wars).

2.I have checked the method "createLogFromClass" of Class org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl where Loop performed through the classloader hierarchy trying to find a viable classloader. Plese see the below code snippet where they try to create the instance of Logger

Class c = null;

                try {

                    c = Class.forName(logAdapterClassName, true, currentCL);

                } catch (ClassNotFoundException originalClassNotFoundException) {

                    // The current classloader was unable to find the log adapter

                    // in this or any ancestor classloader. There's no point in

                    // trying higher up in the hierarchy in this case..

                    String msg = "" + originalClassNotFoundException.getMessage();

                    logDiagnostic(

                        "The log adapter '"

                        + logAdapterClassName

                        + "' is not available via classloader "

                        + objectId(currentCL)

                        + ": "

                        + msg.trim());

                    try {

                        // Try the class classloader.

                        // This may work in cases where the TCCL

                        // does not contain the code executed or JCL.

                        // This behaviour indicates that the application

                        // classloading strategy is not consistent with the

                        // Java 1.2 classloading guidelines but JCL can

                        // and so should handle this case.

                        c = Class.forName(logAdapterClassName);

                    } catch (ClassNotFoundException secondaryClassNotFoundException) {

                        // no point continuing: this adapter isn't available

                        msg = "" + secondaryClassNotFoundException.getMessage();

                        logDiagnostic(

                            "The log adapter '"

                            + logAdapterClassName

                            + "' is not available via the LogFactoryImpl class classloader: "

                            + msg.trim());

                        break;

                    }

                }

Check the highlighted part for that to work you need log4j.jar in sever classpath. This jar is located in common\lib directory. Don't know whether this is correct solution or not but this works fine.
