Jboss and Log4j

[Miguel Flecha]

Hi all.
I'm trying to use Log4j with Jboss.
I read that log4j.xml properties file must be in server/all/conf, so I put it there. Now I have a couple of questios:

- do I have to add a line like this (DOMConfigurator.configure("log4j.xml") in my program?

-where does it place the log file?

-is this log4j.xml file correct?:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">

<appender name="appender" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="File" value="salida.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="false"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %p - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>

<root>
<priority value ="debug"/>
<appender-ref ref="appender"/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>

Thanks in advance

whic version of jboss are you running? you shouldn't need to write any code for configuration.

the log file will go in server/${whichever-configuration-you-are-running}/log/

Also, the log4j.xml that my jboss came with (3.2.3/tomcat-4.1.24) was a good starting point for my logging. I've never used the all configuration, just the default, so my log4j.xml is in the
${jboss-folder}/server/default/conf/ directory.
if you never changed which configuration to run, that's where you'll find the log4j.xml. this is assuming you're running jboss 3.2.3.

This should do it for you. . .I had the same problem a few mos. back.
I documented my results. Hope it helps.
