Recently, we moved our Websphere Application Server from IBM OS/400 to Redhat Linux.

After the move, the Log4J prints out the messages of Struts framework that we never had before, shown at the bottom:

I am sure we didn't change the logging levels in log4j.properties.

My question is how we could stop Log4J to print the messages of Struts framework.

I googled it and I couldn't find the anwser. Thanks.

Just set the Struts logger level to some high level such as ERROR. Example:

That works, but not an acceptable solution for my boss.

What if we want to see other logs at "debug" level?

Thanks anyway.

Why, did you run into that problem when you tried it? To me it looks like it sets the logging level for Struts to ERROR and leaves other applications alone. But if you tried it and that isn't what it did, then correct me.

Websphere is evil. There is a file ws-commons-logging.jar in IBM/Websphere/6.0/lib directory. Try to put your log4j.properties file inside this archive on the very root.

The log4j.properties entry that I gave you will only set the logging level at "ERROR" for Struts, and will leave all other logging as it was.

I am sorry I didn't read it carefully. I thought you set it to "Error" at rootCategory.

We will give it a try and have you updated, but it takes a couple of days.

Thanks.

<blockquote>code:

</blockquote>

This works for us. The only thing is we added "logger" in between as follows:

log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=ERROR, SomeAppender

Thanks.

We spent days researching the cause of the problem and couldn't find the answer.

As part of the move from IBM OS/400 to Redhat Linux, we also upgraded from Websphere Application Server 6.0 to 6.1.

My question is why we get these Struts logging msgs that we didn't have before?

Thanks.

I know there were changes in the way logging was handled from 6.0 to 6.1, but I'm not sure exactly what they are. The link below has a good discussion of some of the issues, though.
