Hi,

i'd like to use log4j.xml to log a web application in a seperate file

According to JBOSS the following has to be added to the log4j.xml

<appender name="App1Log" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="Append" value="false"/>
 <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/app1.log"/>
 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
 </layout>
 <filter class="org.jboss.logging.filter.TCLFilter">
 <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/>
 <param name="DeployURL" value="app1.ear"/>
 </filter>
 </appender>

<root>
 <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
 <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
 <appender-ref ref="App1Log"/>
 </root>

which I did (with my .war file)

in the application i tried :

private static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger( GetApplicationsServlet.class );
 private static Logger LOGGER2 = Logger.getRootLogger();

and printed out some error messages.

JBoss logs normal on the console and in the server.log. It also creates the app1.log file but without any content :(

What is wrong.. why does it log not in the file but anywhere else ?
THANKS
