Get Guido Carls' <gcarls@cpan.org> Log::Log4perl extension Log::Log4perl::Layout::XMLLayout from CPAN and install it: perl -MCPAN -eshell cpan> install Log::Log4perl::Layout::XMLLayout Install and start Chainsaw, which is part of the log4j distribution now (see http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j ).

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Log4j versions upto and including 1.2.8 are compatible with JDK 1.1.x and later. Log4j version 1.3 will be compatilble with JDK 1.2 and later. The DOMConfigurator is based on the DOM Level 1 API. The DOMConfigurator.configure(Element) method will work with any XML parser that will pass it a DOM tree. The DOMConfigurator.configure(String filename) method and its variants require a JAXP compatible XML parser, for example Xerces or Sun's parser.

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
log4j is fail-stop. However, altough it certainly strives to ensure delivery, log4j does not guarantee that each log statement will be delivered to its destination. Logging behavior can be set at runtime using a configuration file. Configuration files can be property files or in XML format. log4j can direct its output to a file, the console, an java.io.OutputStream, java.io.

I have experience with log4j. How is the relationship?

x4juli - Extensions for the java.util.logging implementation
x4juli is a port of the backend part of log4j. It is a full port, so it does not use wrapper classes around the backend, instead it internally extends java.util.logging classes.

How can I configure the log4j file?

Technical FAQ about Openbravo ERP - Developer at Openbravo
Log4j is the way Openbravo saves logs (errors or information about the application data). Logs are very useful in order to know where and why the application crashed. Log4j configuration is managed with /tomcat/webapps/openbravo/WEB-INF/log4j.lcf file, here is defined where the log will be stored, this is done in a line that looks like: The previous line means that the log is stored in /tomcat/logs/log4j_TAD.log file.

How do I increase the verbosity of the log4j file?

Technical FAQ about Openbravo ERP - Developer at Openbravo
Messages shown in log files have different categories (debug, info, warn, error and fatal). By default the messages shown are from error to fatal but this can be customized. When you select a category all messages which belong to this category or to a higher one will be displayed. To do this there are two ways: From application Go to General Rules > Data > Utility > Session info > Change logs, this will show every java class used till now.

How do you remove log4j for logging?

Frequently Asked Questions (List likely to grow with time)
Because log4j is configured by default to log to a file, you may want to remove it from the implementaton. Doing this is quite simple - modify gov.nist.core.LogWriter.java. You can change its behavior to log to a network connection or remove it entirely and convert to println. The Listener may have blocked while processing a transaction. Do not block in your listener method. If you need to block, start a thread and block in it dont block in the thread that you were called in the listener.

How do I add a custom level?What is log4j?

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
In case of problems with an application, it is helpful to enable logging so that the problem can be located. With log4j it is possible to enable logging at runtime without modifying the application binary. The log4j package is designed so that log statements can remain in shipped code without incurring a high performance cost. It follows that the speed of logging (or rather not logging) is capital. the same time, log output can be so voluminous that it quickly becomes overwhelming.

top]What documentation should I read to learn more about log4j?

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Make sure to read the short manual. It is also recommended to you read The complete log4j manual which is much more detailed and up to date. Both documents were written by Ceki Glc. Yes, log4j is thread-safe. Log4j components are designed to be used in heavily multithreaded systems. The log output can be customized in many ways. Moreover, one can completely override the output format by implementing one's own Layout.

top]Why should I donate my extensions to log4j back to the project?

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Contrary to the GNU Public License (GPL) the Apache Software License does not make any claims over your extensions. By extensions, we mean totally new code that invokes existing log4j classes. You are free to do whatever you wish with your proprietary log4j extensions. In particular, you may choose to never release your extensions to the wider public. We are very careful not to change the log4j client API so that newer log4j releases are backward compatible with previous versions.

top]What is the recommended way of migrating from java.util.logging to log4j?

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
We suggest to just use global file search/replace. You should be able to replace all the "java.util.Logger" references with "org.apache.log4j.Logger", and you should be on your way. If you're on a Win32 platform, we recommend Textpad. You can use the CTRL+SHIFT+O to open all *.java files from a directory including all its sub-directories, and then use the search/replace function to replace in all files, and then CTRL+SHIFT+S to save all. Should take about 60 seconds! :) Yes it is.

How can I let MINA log messages using my favorite logging framework (i.e. Log4J)?

Apache MINA - FAQ
We recommend to switch the default buffer type to 'heap' by inserting the following code before you start a server: If you prefer direct buffers to heap buffers, JVM might have ran out of direct memory. Please try increasing maximum direct memory size using -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize option (e.g. -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=128M) Please make sure if you called ByteBuffer.flip() to flip the buffer before writing the buffer out. It is a common mistake NIO beginners make.

I am getting the below Log4J warning message, how do I remove it?

Frequently Asked Questions
This message means that you need to configure the log4j logging system. See the log4j documentation for more information. java -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.xml org.pdfbox.ExtractText <PDF-file> <output-text-file> If this is not working for you then you may have to specify the log4j config file using a URL path, like this:

top]Why should I use log4j when JDK 1.4 already ships with a logging API?

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Although both APIs are conceptually similar, the log4j API is significantly more flexible and offers many more features, too numerous to be listed here. You will discover that the additional features and flexibility turn out to be indispensable in the context of a mission-critical application. The open and collaborative way in which log4j is developped ensures that it continues to preserve and even widen its competitive edge.

top]Why can't log4j find my properties file in a J2EE or WAR application?

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
The short answer: the log4j classes and the properties file are not within the scope of the same classloader. The long answer (and what to do about it): J2EE or Servlet containers utilize Java's class loading system. Sun changed the way classloading works with the release of Java 2. In Java 2, classloaders are arranged in a hierarchial parent-child relationship. When a child classloader needs to find a class or a resource, it first delegates the request to the parent.

top]Is there a way to get log4j to automatically reload a configuration file if it changes?

Apache log4j 1.2 - Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Yes. Both the DOMConfigurator and the PropertyConfigurator support automatic reloading through the configureAndWatch method. See the API documentation for more details. Because the configureAndWatch launches a separate wathdog thread, and because there is no way to stop this thread in log4j 1.2, the configureAndWatch method is unsafe for use in J2EE envrironments where applications are recycled.
