    jboss4.2.3 to Jboss7.1 final custom log4j issue

    thinksteep

      Hi Community,

       

      With the help of community here we have migrated most of the application from 4.2.3a to 7.1. One issue we are struggling is, log4j configuration.

       

      In 4.2.3a we have custom log4j.xml (under conf folder) for application which logs messages to application specific log. We are not clear on how to migrate this part to 7.1 Final. Any help would be really appreciated.

       

      Attached server.log.

       

      Thanks for your time and help.

          Here is another observation, all log messages are being logged to server.log instead of my application log. I am suspecting some configuration change required in jboss7.1 to change it from server.log to my application log. Any pointers?

           

          Thanks for your time and help.

            Anyone to help on this issue?

             

            I  just wrote sample app based on discussion in below link

            https://community.jboss.org/message/622668#622668#622668

             

            It is also not working. Not logging anything.

             

            My test servlet code is below:

             

            System.out.println("Logger tewst"+logger.getAppender("MyAppender"));  returning null. I couldn't understand why.

             

             

            public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {

             

                Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("org.weld");

             

                /**

                 * Processes requests for both HTTP <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods.

                 * @param request servlet request

                 * @throws ServletException if a servlet-specific error occurs

                 * @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs

                 */

                protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)

                        throws ServletException, IOException {

                    response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");

                    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

                    try {

             

                        System.out.println("Inside process request");

                        System.out.println("Logger tewst"+logger.getName());

                        System.out.println("Logger tewst"+logger.getAppender("MyAppender"));

                        

                        logger.debug("-->init");

             

                        logger.debug("<--init");

                      

                        out.println("<html>");

                        out.println("<head>");

                        out.println("<title>Servlet TestServlet</title>"); 

                        out.println("</head>");

                        out.println("<body>");

                        out.println("<h1>Servlet TestServlet at " + request.getContextPath () + "</h1>");

                        out.println("</body>");

                        out.println("</html>");

                    } finally {

                        out.close();

                    }

                }

                @Override

                    processRequest(request, response);

                    logger.debug("<--destroy");

                }

                @Override

                public String getServletInfo() {

                    return "Short description";

                }// </editor-fold>

            }

             

             

            Attached war file for reference.

             

            Any help would be really appreciated.

             

            Thanks for your time and help.

              Never mind. I was able to fix it. It was issue with log4j exclusion entry in jboss-deployment-structure.xml file

               

              Thanks for your time.
