This is the result:. The main reason for me to use Log4j2 was to be able get monthly log rotation, but you can easily adjust everything how you like, even without restarting Tomcat.

Hope it'll be useful to somebody. PS: The project was maven-based. You place log4j. I don't know this is correct way. But it solved my problem.
Put log4j. Here is the 2 cases that will help you to identify the proper location- 1. Way1: If you are trying in maven project without Using PropertyConfigurator. Place properties file anywhere in project and give the correct path.
Place properties file anywhere in project and give correct path. In Eclipse I need to add the res folder to build path, however, in Intellij, I need to mark the res folder as resouces as the linked screenshot shows: right click on the res folder and mark as resources.
You don't need to specify PropertyConfigurator. For me, it worked when I put the file inside the resources folder. Also, it was a war file for my project. My recommendation is to ensure that the name of the file is log4j.

What is the purpose of the PropertyConfigurator. I never use this one. Your log4j. Look at stackoverflow. I Think this should help you alot, because some containers have their own log4j configuration. AntoineClaval I removed that cursed line and it worked like a charm. Man, what a ride.. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. We will need to update the default context config so that logging data is 'trapped' and placed in the default root logger.
In order to do this, we need to edit the default context file in. By default Tomcat will create some empty files named lucee-stderr. These are created by the Tomcat service control as placeholders for console data. However, since we are redirecting this data to our main catalina. Simply replace the values of the 'Redirect Stdout:' and 'Redirect Stderr:' to nothing and the service control will not create these files.
Last, we need to remove the previous logging. Just delete it or rename it if you want to keep it around for some reason. I would also recommend that you clean out the previous logs from the C:luceetomcatlogs directory.
To do this, just stop the Tomcat service, delete the logs, then start it again. This will make verifying your config much easier, as you can see at a glance if your new logging config has taken effect. Once you've restarted Tomcat. Check your log directory and ensure that the bulk of the log data is now being stored in your catalina.
An example resulting config can be seen in the image below. Note that while other files have indeed been created, there is nothing useful in them, as all useful log data is being directed to the catalina. There are md5sumtools for windows as well. For Firefox you can install the md hashtool extension and check directly from the download windows.
Copy the log4j. You can find it in the download oflog4j. The XML requires a dom4j. You do not need it with Java 5. Thefollowing Levels are available. But you can define custom levels aswell. Examples are provided with the log4j download.
Production optionally, Course grained rarely written informations , I use it to print that a configuration is initialized, a long running import job is starting and ending. Part of the application is probably not working.
Weused PatternLayout in our example and we set a property namedConversionPattern. This property allows us to define the log output. Ifthe configuration options does not suite your needs, you can definecustom layouts as well. Examples for custom layout are provided withthe log4j download. Have a look in the examples directory. Anappender specifies where your log messages are written to.
There is awide choice of appenders available. All appenders are direct orindirect subclasses of the AppenderSkeleton. Therefore we can findall options on the following API page:. Customappenders can be created as well. The log4j download comes with awhole bunch of samples in the examples directory. Propertiescan be defined by a properties file or by an XML file. Log4j looksfor a file named log4j. Both must be placed in the src folder. Theproperty file is less verbose than an XML file.
The XML requires the log4j. The XMLrequires a dom4j. Theproperties file does not support some advanced configuration optionslike Filters, custom ErrorHandlers and a special type of appenders,i. ErrorHandlers defines how errors in log4j itselfare handled, for example badly configured appenders.
Filters are moreinteresting. From the available filters, I think that the level rangefilter is really missing for property files. This allows to split log messages acrossdifferent logfiles.
Theproperty appender only supports a minimum level. Log4jwill first check for a file log4j. In a web applicationyou might configure a servlet to be loaded on startup to initializeyour configuration. Keepin mind that this is not required, if you use the default names andfolders for the configuration file.
Ifyou analyse a problem you frequently want to change the log level ofa running application server. This chapter explains how you can dothis. I used Tomcat as example server but you can use any applicationserver you like.
Theproblem is that it seems not to work in some situations. But this isno problem as it is quite easy to develop a short tool by yourself. We have two options.
