Application-specific logging in JBoss AS 6 (yet again)
pgmjsd Jun 20, 2011 2:22 PMJBoss AS 6.0.0.Final and app-specific logging - I've tried putting jboss-logging.xml in the META-INF directory of an EAR deployment as this post suggests. When JBoss starts it does seem to be reading the file, but the file is always empty. When I use a JBoss Logging 'Logger', the output shows up in 'server.log', configured in deploy/jboss-logging.xml but never in the application specific log file. I've tried using the JBoss Logging API directly, but it's as if the application-specific logging configuration is pretty much ignored except initially creating the log file.
Do I have to do something with the class loaders or something?
Here's the jboss-logging file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- My application jboss-logging.xml --> <logging xmlns="urn:jboss:logging:6.0" context="MyApplication"> <!-- ~ This element, in conjunction with the "context" attribute above, tells the ~ logging system that I want my own separate logging environment. --> <define-context name="MyApplication"/> <!-- A time/date based rolling handler --> <periodic-rotating-file-handler file-name="${jboss.server.log.dir}/application.log" name="FILE" autoflush="true" append="true" suffix=".yyyy-MM-dd"> <!-- To roll over at the top of each hour, use ".yyyy-MM-dd-HH" instead --> <error-manager> <only-once/> </error-manager> <formatter> <!-- To revert back to simple stack traces without JAR versions, change "%E" to "%e" below. --> <!-- Uncomment this to get the class name in the log as well as the category <pattern-formatter pattern="%d %-5p [%c] %C{1} (%t) %s%E%n"/> --> <!-- Uncomment this to log without the class name in the log --> <pattern-formatter pattern="%d %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/> </formatter> </periodic-rotating-file-handler> <!-- Configure the root logger with my handler from above --> <root-logger> <level name="DEBUG"/> <handlers> <handler-ref name="FILE"/> </handlers> </root-logger> </logging>
I can switch over to Log4J, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious before I do that.
