log4j separate file logging problem

[michael yue]

Hi all,

I have this problem with regards to log4j. I currently have 3 war files lets say A.war,B.war and C.war that deploy on jboss using log4j. Each war is supposed to log into separate log files. Problem is the logging seem to be mixed up where logging from A.war appears in B.war and so on. My log4j.xml config is as below for the wars.

    
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
    <appender name="DAEMON" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
        <param name="datePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
        <param name="file" value="C:/Test/testdaemon.log"/>
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss}] %p %c - %m%n"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>

 <root>
    <level value="DEBUG"/>
    <appender-ref ref="DAEMON"/>
  </root>
</log4j:configuration>

Is it have to do with jboss server or any other issues ? Thanks.

What version of Jboss are you using?

I am using Jboss 4.2.2 GA. I found that jboss itself have its own log4j config file jboss-log4j.xml. Putting all the log4j config there seems to work as intended. I plan to do this as a workaround. Is this advisable?

Thanks.
