Seam Logging Configuration

adam.stortz Jul 19, 2006 10:50 AM

All,

I am using Seam for the first time, and I really like how easy it is to write logging code with Seam. The piece I am missing is how to configure logging. I really like Log4j and I am missing that level of flexibility here. I looked through the docs and the forums extensively, and have not seen anything that would suggest that this even exists. Am I missing something here? Or am I required to edit the jboss/server//conf/log4j.xml to produced the desired behaviour?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Stortz

Seam logging delegates to commons logging which (in JBoss) delegates to log4j. So you just configure log4j as you would usually configure it in JBoss.

In a web application I would drop my log4j.xml file in the WEB-INF/classes directory. In a Seam/EJB3 app, I am not sure where to put that file. Can anyone give me any direction

JBOSS_HOME/server/[server-name]/conf

Look at the log4j.xml file that is already present and configure as required.

Justin,

Thank you for the reply. I have read the wiki article you posted, and I have used JBOSS_HOME/server/[server-name]/conf/log4j.xml, but i want to have a self contained deployment that does not depend on the app server for logging. I have my own log4j.xml on the classpath for the application, but it is very clearly not being used.

Any ideas?
