RollingFileAppender

RollingFileAppender

I am brand spanking new to log4j. I have the following configuration file:

# Set root category priority to DEBUG and set its only appender to Console

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, Console, R

# Console is set to be a ConsoleAppender (writes to system console).

log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

# R is set to be a RollingFileAppender (writes to file).

log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.R.File=bouncebacks.log

log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100KB

# Keep one backup file

log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1

# R uses PatternLayout.

log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n

# Console uses PatternLayout.

log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=[%5p]: (%C{1}.%M:%L) - %m%n

# dynamic log reader "Chainsaw"

# connects to chainsaw reader which must be running separately

# ex) java -classpath [path]/log4j.jar org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.Main

log4j.appender.Chainsaw=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender

log4j.appender.Chainsaw.remoteHost=localhost

log4j.appender.Chainsaw.port=4445

log4j.appender.Chainsaw.locationInfo=true

When I run my application, I get these errors:

[ERROR]: (ConfiguratorBase.detachListAppender:96) - No output stream or file
set for the appender named [R].

[ WARN]: (PropertySetter.setProperty:173) - No such property [maxFileSize]
in org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender.

[ WARN]: (PropertySetter.setProperty:173) - No such property
[maxBackupIndex] in org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender.

[ WARN]: (RollingFileAppender.activateOptions:86) - Please set a
TriggeringPolicy for the RollingFileAppender named 'R'

Can someone help me get this to write to a file?

Thanks!!

We are using log4j 1.3 Alpha 3, so what all will I need to do?

log4j 1.3 introduced a replacement
(org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender) for the previous
RollingFileAppender (org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender, notice the
missing .rolling). Your configuration is attempting to configure the
new RollingFileAppender with the properties for the old RFA.

In the last week, I added to the CVS an emulation of the old RFA that
delegates to the new RFA so that existing configuration files will
still work.

Depending on your circumstances, you could:

configure the new RFA and have a configuration file that only works
with 1.3 or later.
configure the old RFA and have a configuration file that works with 1.2
and the CVS HEAD, but no released version of 1.3.

I tried using 1.2.9 (stable) and I was able to get the RollingFileAppend to

We are using log4j 1.3 Alpha 3, so what all will I need to do?

I was hoping the analysis would get you off and running by yourself.

You have to choose an option:

Upgrade the the CVS HEAD and remove the ".rolling" from the classname.
Configure the new, more generic, log4j 1.3 RFA.

Unfortunately, I could not find an appropriate sample for the latter in
the test input files and wanted to avoid trying to mock up something
freehand. I don't believe the new RFA can be configured using an
properties file, since you have to configure nested objects, a
TriggeringPolicy (to determine when to change files) and RollingPolicy
(to determine what the file names are).

Something like:

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

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

<appender name="R"
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<rollingPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
<param name="minIndex" value="1"/>
<param name="maxIndex" value="1"/>
<param name="activeFileName" value="bouncebacks.log"/>
<param name="fileNamePattern" value="bouncebacks.log.%i"/>
</rollingPolicy>

<triggeringPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<param name="maxFileSize" value="100KB"/>
</triggeringPolicy>

</appender>
....

</log4j:configuration>

I am running on a windows machine, so I can't use your jar command to grep
for Category.class. If I open up my log4j jar, under org.apache.log4j, I
have a Category.class file.

I ran this:

java -classpath "..\lib\classes\log4j-1.2.9.jar" org.apache.log4j.Category

and got Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/log4j/Categoy. So I guess log4j isn't on my classpath (rmember,
I am running this on a windows machine right now).

Where do I change Category to Logger? In my application, I have

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

This looks like a classpath issue, not a configuration issue.
org.apache.log4j.Category was the original name for Logger and is still
in the jar to support older applications but is deprecated. So it is
likely that you have a class that uses Category, but your classpath is
not set up to find the log4j jar.

You can confirm that o.a.l.Category is in your jar file by:

jar -tf log4j-1.2.9.jar | grep Category.class

You can check if it is on your classpath by

java [classpath stuff] org.apache.log4j.Category

if you get a NoClassDefFoundError, then log4j isn't on your classpath.
If you get a NoSuchMethodError, then it is on you classpath and it just
can't find a main method.

If you have any control over the application that was using Category,
you should migrate Category to Logger and Priority to Level.

I was able to get this to run on a linux box, adding a manifest file with
the classpaths in there. But, when I try to run the same jar file on my
windows box, I get Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Category

Could this have something to do with my windows classpath missing something?

That will give you grep and many other unix utils so that you could
run the commands that were recommended. It doesn't address your issue
directly but gives you more tools to help.

What will this give me? I downloaded this and added usr/bin/wbin to my
windows path variable and that didn't help anything

Another option: Get UnixUtils from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/.
Just extract, add usr/bin/wbin to you path, and you are set.

jar -tf log4j-1.2.9.jar | find "Category.class"
Note: the double quotes ("") are necessary.

Post by Jason Roscoe
I tried using 1.2.9 (stable) and I was able to get the
RollingFileAppend to
work. When I try running my application from a command line, I get
this
org/apache/log4j/Category

This looks like a classpath issue, not a configuration issue.
org.apache.log4j.Category was the original name for Logger
and is still
in the jar to support older applications but is deprecated. So it is
likely that you have a class that uses Category, but your
classpath is
not set up to find the log4j jar.
jar -tf log4j-1.2.9.jar | grep Category.class
You can check if it is on your classpath by
java [classpath stuff] org.apache.log4j.Category
if you get a NoClassDefFoundError, then log4j isn't on your
classpath.
If you get a NoSuchMethodError, then it is on you classpath
and it just
can't find a main method.
If you have any control over the application that was using Category,
you should migrate Category to Logger and Priority to Level.

I got the jar command to work, I had to run it within the directory I have
java installed, so what else should I check? I ran:

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin>jar -tf "c:\Documents and
Settings\PRGJR1\.maven\repository
\log4j\jars"\log4j-1.2.9.jar | find "Category.class"

And got this:

org/apache/log4j/Category.class
org/apache/log4j/spi/RootCategory.class

So the Category class is there. I am not referencing Category anywhere in
my application, so I'm not sure why it is looking for Category? What else
can I try to get this working on my windows machine?

Thanks for all the help!! I could attach my .jar file if that would help.
