Hi Everybody,

I want to use log4j in my application. I downloaded the required jar file, now I want to initialize it.Please help me, how to initialize log4j.

I give you an example

package com.foo;

import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Log4jInit extends HttpServlet {

  public
  void init() {
    String prefix =  getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
    String file = getInitParameter("log4j-init-file");
    // if the log4j-init-file is not set, then no point in trying
    if(file != null) {
      PropertyConfigurator.configure(prefix+file);
    }
  }

  public
  void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) {
  }

if you want more details you can check the documentation of the log4j project

Hi ,

I am using weblogic server.As I mentioned I downloaded the required log4j.jar. When I am runing my application, on the server console I am getting this warning.

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.digester.D
igester).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Please help me to overcome this problem.

Thanks

This means that the log4j.properties file that you have created in NOT in
the classpath. Make it available in the classpath.
