I have an application based in the Spring Web model-view-controller (MVC) framework using logj4. Here my log4j.properties
log4j.rootCategory=INFO, console, logfile
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601}] %5p [%t] %x (%C:%L) - %m%n

log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601}] %5p [%t] %x (%C:%L) - %m%n
and my controller:
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
#Controller
public class NoEnTenimNiCinc {
private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger (NoEnTenimNiCinc.class);
private void fer () {
LOGGER.info("***************************************************************");
LOGGER.info(" SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION ");
LOGGER.info("***************************************************************");
System.out.println ("System.out***************************************************************");
System.out.println ("System.out SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION ");
System.out.println ("System.out***************************************************************");
}
}
As far as I understand I should see in the eclipse console all the messages but I only see the ones generated by System.out.println
The ConsoleAppender has threshold field inherited from class org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton. Threshold is a Prority Object and its possible values are:
DEBUG
ERROR
FATAL
INFO
WARN
...
Console is not a possible value for it.

I have many applications (war, ejb) in same glassfish server, the applications have different log4j configuration
app1.war -> log4j.properties
log4j.rootLogger=info, infcore
log4j.appender.infcore=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.infcore.File=/var/log/app1info.log
log4j.appender.infcore.MaxFileSize=20000KB
log4j.appender.infcore.MaxBackupIndex=20
log4j.appender.infcore.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.infcore.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%5p] [%t] %c %x - %m%n
app2.jar -> log4j.properties
log4j.rootLogger=info, infoejb
log4j.appender.infoejb=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.infoejb.File=/var/log/ejbinfo.log

log4j.appender.infoejb.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%5p] [%t] %c %x - %m%n
app3.war -> log4j.properties
log4j.rootLogger=info, infoapp2
log4j.appender.infoapp2=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.infoapp2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%5p] [%t] %c %x - %m%n
I call logger:
protected static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(JAXSecurutyValidation.class);
The problem is that the information is recorded in only one file the ejb, the others files are not created.
How can I fix it?
SOLVED
I find the solution, is very simple update to glasfish 5 and all works fine, thanks.
Maybe this can help you:
String log4jfile = "log4 file path";
PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jfile);
You can call each log4j file for each application.
I am new to log4j and worked to setup on eclipse and its running. I understood the chain of priority in the levels and this is my properties file config:
log4j.rootLogger=ALL, file, console
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
logrj.appender.console.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %c{1} - %m%n
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=logs/justfortesting.log
log4j.appender.file.Append=true
log4j.appender.file.ImmediateFlush=true
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1KB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=2
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %d{Z} [%t] %-5p (%F:%L) - %m%n
My question is
Is it possible to print only INFO and ERROR type of messages in log files with properties file configuration
Finally I got the solution for my requirement. Here I used concept of filters i.e LevelRangeFilter. And for every logging level we defined appender.
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, file, console, file1
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
logrj.appender.console.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %c{1} - %m%n
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=logs/justfortesting.log
log4j.appender.file.Append=true
log4j.appender.file.ImmediateFlush=true
log4j.appender.file.Threshold=DEBUG
log4j.appender.file.filter.a=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter
log4j.appender.file.filter.a.LevelMin=INFO
log4j.appender.file.filter.a.LevelMax=INFO
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1KB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=2
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %d{Z} [%t] %-5p (%F:%L) - %m%n
log4j.appender.file1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file1.File=logs/justfortesting.log
log4j.appender.file1.Append=true
log4j.appender.file1.ImmediateFlush=true
log4j.appender.file1.Threshold=DEBUG
log4j.appender.file1.filter.g=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter
log4j.appender.file1.filter.g.LevelMin=ERROR
log4j.appender.file1.filter.g.LevelMax=ERROR
log4j.appender.file1.MaxFileSize=1KB
log4j.appender.file1.MaxBackupIndex=2
log4j.appender.file1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %d{Z} [%t] %-5p (%F:%L) - %m%n
log4j.logger.com.log4j=DEBUG, file, console, file1
log4j.additivity.com.log4j=false
If any one suggest to reduce the above properties configuration for same requirement,, please comment.
Try
log4j.appender.file.Threshold=INFO

Most of the time I define several appenders... one for Console and some others into files. But most of the time I used the same layout for the output.
Is there a way to define a default one ?
Something like that ?
log4j.appender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%p] [%c:%L] - %m%n
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=ALL, stdout, A1
log4j.logger.org.apache.jsp=ALL, stdout, A1
PATTERN=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%p] %l - %m%n
# Direct log messages to stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=${PATTERN}
# LOG4J daily rolling log files configuration
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.File=logs/file.log
log4j.appender.A1.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=${PATTERN}
It seems that the only way to do this is to set a variable, as I've done with PATTERN=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%p] %l - %m%n
Hi I am a novice and the application I am currently coding for uses struts 1.2 and java. We currently use Log4j for log files but I need to implement SMTP Appender so that our errors are emailed to us.
I've tried everything to get errors to be emailed with no luck. Below is our log4j.properties file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

By default, the appender only sends an email when something is logged at the ERROR or FATAL levels.
As a side note, it appears that your threshold property may have improper case. I believe:
log4j.appender.mail.threshold=error
should be
log4j.appender.mail.Threshold=error
Edit...
Log4j can be put into debug mode by configuring the log4j.debug configuration property. This might provide some output regarding the SMTP appender.
Define the root logger in error level and override this for selected packages. The mail appender will remain in the error level.

I have to put the log info in two separate log files based on some condition.how to do that.
here is my logging.properties file
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout, R
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.File=${catalina.home}/logs/std.log
log4j.appender.stdout.MaxFileSize=200KB
log4j.appender.stdout.MaxBackupIndex=2
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%c] %p - %m%n
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.home}/logs/demo.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=200KB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=2
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%c] %p - %m%n
You can define multiple appenders and assign java packages to the appenders. In the example below all classes in com.mycorp.web will log to web.log at DEBUG level and classes in com.mycorp.db will log to db.log at INFO level.
log4j.rootLogger=debug, weblogger, dblogger
#Define which packages use which appenders
log4j.logger.com.mycorp.web=DEBUG,weblogger
log4j.logger.com.mycorp.db=INFO,dblogger
#Ensure the logs don't add to each other
log4j.additivity.com.mycorp.web=false
log4j.additivity.com.mycorp.db=false
#Define web appender
log4j.appender.weblogger=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.weblogger.File=/var/log/myapp/web.log
log4j.appender.weblogger.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.weblogger.Append=true
log4j.appender.weblogger.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.weblogger.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c{1} - %m %n
#Define db appender
log4j.appender.dblogger=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.dblogger.File=/var/log/myapp/db.log
log4j.appender.dblogger.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.dblogger.Append=true
log4j.appender.dblogger.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.dblogger.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c{1} - %m %n
Based on your condition, you can grab different loggers.
Logger x = predicate() ? Logger.getLogger("wombat") : Logger.getLogger("other");
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html (Search for "wombat" for the relevant code.)
If you want different file for some logger, you should write something like this:
log4j.logger.LOGGER_ONE=DEBUG, stdout
log4j.logger.LOGGER_TWO=WARN, R
