Hi,

Iam new to work with log4j.
I use JBoss4.2.2 version with my two ear files deployed in it.
My Jboss-log4j.xml is like this :

Code:

<appender name="Server_APP1" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender">
        <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
        <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/Server_APP1.log"/>
        <param name="Append" value="true"/>
        <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10000KB"/>
        <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="100"/>
   
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
          <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
        </layout>
        
        <filter class="org.jboss.logging.filter.TCLFilter">
		<param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/>
		<param name="DeployURL" value="app1.ear"/>
	</filter>
	 
	<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter"/>


   </appender>
   
   <appender name="Server_APP2" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender">
           <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
           <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/Server_APP2.log"/>
           <param name="Append" value="true"/>
           <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10000KB"/>
           <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="100"/>
      
           <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
             <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
           </layout>
           
           <filter class="org.jboss.logging.filter.TCLFilter">
   		<param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/>
   		<param name="DeployURL" value="app2.ear"/>
   	</filter>
   	 
   	<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter"/>
   
   </appender>

<category name="com.app1">
      <priority value="INFO"/>
      <appender-ref ref="Server_APP1"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="com.app2" >
         <priority value="INFO"/>
         <appender-ref ref="Server_APP2"/>
   </category>

I have added both Server_APP1,Server_APP2 to root.

I have not used any logger class in application. with above settings iam able to get logs to two different files.

My problem is i use a jar subapplication.jar in app1.
i like to seperate the info associated with this jar to a different log file.

For this i have added different section for jboss-log4j.xml

<appender name="Server_APP1_New" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender">
           <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
           <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/Server_new.log"/>
           <param name="Append" value="true"/>
           <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10000KB"/>
           <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="100"/>
      
           <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
             <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
           </layout>
           
           <filter class="org.jboss.logging.filter.TCLFilter">
   		<param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/>
   		<param name="DeployURL" value="app1.ear"/>
   	</filter>
   	 
   	<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter"/>
   
   
   </appender>

<!-- com.chakri is package used in subapplication.jar -->
<category name="com.chakri" additivity="false">
         <priority value="INFO"/>
         <appender-ref ref="Server_APP1_New"/>
   </category>

i have not added this to root.

SOme classes of jar have logger initialized with that particular class name.

eg: static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(vemuri.class);

With this changes the data is written to new log file(Server_new.log) only when i use logger.log,logger.info etc. All the exceptions are appended to Server_APP1.log file only i.e the log file for application1 where iam internally using subapplication.jar.

How can i make all the data related to jar written to seperate file?

Can any one suggest what wrong with my approach? New approach to solve my problem also appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Chakri
