I am using WebLogic and I have created a log4j.properties file, and its in my WAR file in WEB-INF/classes path. log4j.properties contains: log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.A1.File=/export/home/jsync.log But when I try to log the errors in my servlet, it does so only on console and does not create any new file jsync.log logger.debug("Inside SyncServlet.doPost()"); Please tell me where I am wrong? I am not intializing my logger with my log4j.prop file. Do I need to explicitly load my log4j.properties file to get my output in jsync.log file. More>>

Nidhi,

Did you manage to resolve this?

I'm having a similar problem - I've been using commons logging with SimpleLog and now want to use log4j - however I only seem able to log to the console and not to the file specified in my log4j.properties file:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, rolling
log4j.appender.rolling=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.rolling.File=output.log

log4j.appender.rolling.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.rolling.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.rolling.layout=org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout

I'm using Websphere so am not sure exactly where to put the properties files for commons and log4j.

Here is my commons-logging.properties file:

org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategoryLog

Any thoughts?

As Prasanna Talakanti said either file path can be a problem or u would have overridden the fileappender definition any where below with console appender.

Try this to configure the log4j in the class of ur application that is called first

PropertyConfigurator.configure(LogFilename);
and then try to log the data.

I suspect that, You have console appender after your file appender


  log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1   
  log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender 
  //file path can cause problems some time
  log4j.appender.A1.File=/export/home/jsync.log 

  //if you have this, the file appender would not log any thing
  log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

hope this helps
