Glassfish LOG4J loggin diferent applications

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.MaxFileSize=20000KB
log4j.appender.infoejb.MaxBackupIndex=20
log4j.appender.infoejb.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
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.File=/var/log/infoapp2.log
log4j.appender.infoapp2.MaxFileSize=20000KB
log4j.appender.infoapp2.MaxBackupIndex=20
log4j.appender.infoapp2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
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.

Logging file are not generating

I am facing problem in Log4j,like in my Maven Rest API project i have log4j.propeties file like below.
# Root logger option
log4j.rootCategory= TRACE, stdout, file
# Each package has different appender name
log4j.logger.club.exbrain.hht.service.management=TRACE, club.exbrain.hht.service.management
# 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=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
#Redirect to Tomcat logs folder
log4j.appender.file.File=${catalina.home}/logs/logging.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=25MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
Issue is When i am running tomcat server from Eclispe i am getting my all logs in tomcat logs folder but when i export war file and deployed it to server i am getting warning message like below
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Please tell where i can put this Log4j file or is there any possibilities is there to get the log

Apache log4j and Tomcat 7 DEBUG related logs only logging into "catalina.log" but not only logging into catalina.YYYY-mm-dd.log file

I'm trying to use Apache log4j in Tomcat 7. I need the logs in DEBUG mode so I have used
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, file
I have also used file rolling so as to get the logs daily in a separate file.
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
but in the DEBUG mode all the debug related logs are logging into "catalina.out" file instead of the daily created log, I cannot see any DEBUG related logs in the daily created log file only INFO and SEVERE are present in it. And my another question is how to not to log everything into catalina.log file as the file size is keep on increasing
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, file
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=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
Dependencies that I have used:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.5.6</version>
</dependency>

If you are working in windows environment please add below line code to your File logging configuration:
log4j.appender.file.File=${catalina.home}\\yourLog.log
This will direct to tomcat->bin folder. If you want specifically in tomcat->logs folder please configure accordingly by going one step backwards.

It is because The Apache Tomcat has a custom version of Log4J (referenced as JULI) built in it.
From the Tomcat Documentation:
The internal logging for Apache Tomcat uses JULI, a packaged renamed
fork of Apache Commons Logging that, by default, is hard-coded to use
the java.util.logging framework. This ensures that Tomcat's internal
logging and any web application logging will remain independent, even
if a web application uses Apache Commons Logging.
You could use:
log4j.rootLogger=TRACE, file, stdout
# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=C:\\logging.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n %c{1}:%L - %m%n

Tomcat Save Log History

I am using log4j in webapp deployed on tomcat, but cuurently my logs comes under catalina.log file, but only error logs remain in history, i want my all logs to be remain in history , additionally it will be good if if i get logs datewise.
my logs4j looks like this
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, myConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.myConsoleAppender=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.myConsoleAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.myConsoleAppender.layout.ConversionPattern= [%t] %d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS} : %c %x : %m%n
i am only using info level of logs.

Try this
# Define the root logger with appender file
log4j.rootLogger = DEBUG, FILE
# Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number.
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p : %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# Define the daily rolling file appender
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.File=/logs/app.log
log4j.appender.FILE.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MMM-dd
# Define the layout for the file appender
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.ConversionPattern= %-5p : %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %c{1}:%L - %m%n
Above will create a log file on the tomcat installation directory under the folder logson daily basis. You can change the log file path by modifying the log4j.appender.FILE.File=/path/to/logfile

log4j reading config file error

I have java web application deployed in Tomcat. I created a classes folder under WEB-INF and had log4j.properties file under it. I want the logger to be appended in a file.
log4j.properties file :
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CA
# AdminFileAppender - used to log messages in the admin.log file.
log4j.appender.AdminFileAppender=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.AdminFileAppender.File=admin.log

log4j.appender.AdminFileAppender.layout.ConversionPattern= %-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
# ReportFileAppender - used to log messages in the report.log file.
log4j.appender.ReportFileAppender=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.ReportFileAppender.File=report.log

log4j.logger.com.sample.cfd=WARN,AdminFileAppender
log4j.logger.com.sample.cfd=DEBUG,ReportFileAppender
Code in Servlet
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(CfdServlet.class);
dpPost(...){
PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.properties");
logger.debug("Sample debug message");
}
Error Message :
I get the following error as its not able to find my configuration file under WEB_INF/classes/log4j.properties
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [log4j.properties].
java.io.FileNotFoundException: log4j.properties (No such file or directory)
Is something wrong in the location of my properties file.
