Running java application from batch with flags - java

I hava jar with class my.package.Foo inside, containing main method.
What is more i have Log4j configurated as a logging system.
I want to print full stack trace while exception is catched, however i read this topic: log4j not printing the stacktrace for exceptions
and i think that i need to use a -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow flag.
So i'm trying to call my app with command line like this:
java -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -cp %JAR_LOCATION:% my.package.Foo
However i'm still missing stacktrace, i get only short exception message.
Here is my log4j config:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, CONSOLE, FILE
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.File=log.txt
log4j.appender.FILE.ImmediateFlush=true
log4j.appender.FILE.Threshold=debug
log4j.appender.FILE.Append=false
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.conversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-4p %c{2}.%m%n
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-4p %c{2}.%m%n
What i'm missing?

Try it like this:
set JAR_LOCATION=c:\any folder with spaces\jar
java -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -cp "%JAR_LOCATION:~%" my.package.Foo
You have to remove the ":" char from %JAR_LOCATION:%, or use %JAR_LOCATION:~% to de-quote it, and quote it directly at the JAVA command, because the path probably contains spaces.

How to define log4j default file location

I'm setting up "log4j" logging framework to my java project, and I want to define a default path to the log4j.appender.X.File=${file.name}configuration property, if nothing to the ${file.name} argument has been specified by the comand line.
I need the solution to be dynamic:
- when I run the .jar file using -Dfile.name=C:\log\directory\path\log4j-application.log JVM argument on the comand line --> the framework should write to the path that I've specified on the argument;
- when I run the .jar file without using the JVM argument on the comand line --> the framework should write on the .jar file path;
Where should I give the default path to make my project understand where it should write the file on?
This is a part of my actual log4j.properties file:
# Root logger option, use one of the following log levels: INFO, WARN, ERROR, DEBUG, TRACE
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, file
[...]
# Redirect log messages to a log file, support file rolling.
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=${file.name}
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=100MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=3
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout=com.webratio.rtx.log.SessionAwarePattern
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern= %d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.file.Append=true
log4j.appender.file.Threshold=TRACE
With the attached settings, the app is working partly:
1. java -Dfile.name=C:\log\directory\path\log4j-application.log -jar C:\Users\martin\Desktop\Projects\Log4j\log4j_example.jar: including the JVM argument, the .jar correctly created the log file inside the already defined JVM argument path;
2. java -jar C:\Users\martin\Desktop\Projects\Log4j\log4j_example.jar: excluding the JVM argument, the .jar is not able to understand where it should write on, therefore no file has been created;
I was expecting that, on the second attempt, the app could write on the same .jar file folder, since the ${file.name} argument was not defined on the comand line.That didn't work because it seems that something is missing to assign that "default" path to write on.
I also tried setting log4j.appender.file.File=${file.name}/log4j.log on the log4j.properties file instead, giving java -Dfile.name=C:\log\directory\path\ -jar C:\Users\martin\Desktop\Projects\Log4j\log4j_example.jaras a comand and excluding the log4j.log name to the path.
Niether this attempt is working for me, since system is raising the following error:
[...]
log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: \log4j.log (Access denied)
[...]
This time I was expecting that the framework could write on the same .jar file folder, since the ${file.name} argument was not defined on the comand line and atuomatically get the root of the .jar file (expecting that's the default writing folder).
I'm using the 1.2.17 log4j version.
#in properties file put like this
log4j.appender.file.File=./history.log

Issue with log4j.properties on the command propmt

I'm trying to create a batch file for Windows (*.bat) for executing a Java application. I've set up everything but the logger. I have made the call to BasicConfigurator.configure() and put the file log4j.properties on the root of the project which works fine in the IDE (Eclipse) but when I try to do the same through a batch file, it doesn't work.
I've already tried to move the file to other path but it didn't work and I don't know what else to try.
eInvoice.bat (CLASSPATH is suppose to be defined previously)
java -Xmx500m -cp %CLASSPATH% com.mycompany.einvoice.InvoiceSender -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties
log4j.properties
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file
# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=AplFacturae.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
I'm not sure if this is useful for someone, but I found the source of the problem and It was related with the order of the parameters. The main class has to be the last parameter unless it has parameters. So I just swapped the last two parametes and it started to work
java -Xmx500m -cp %CLASSPATH% -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties com.mycompany.einvoice.InvoiceSender
In the moment I fix the problem I realized the reason. The main class can have paramentes, so, every parameter I use before of the main class, belongs to the main class instead of Java.
public static void main (String[] args){
...
}

Jar file ran by cron doesn't write his own log

I have a simple java program (Java version 1.7), which is an email sender, and I want to log some events during its running. So I decided to use org.apache.log4j.Logger for this. I created the log4j.properties file which contains the following:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=Autoemail.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=2MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.file.encoding=UTF-8
This is how I load the configuration:
PropertyConfigurator.configure(cl.getResource("resources/log4j.properties"));
logger = Logger.getLogger("");
logger.info("Auto email sending started...");
where cl is the classloader. When I run this from Eclipse on my localhost, everything works as desired, the log file has been created if didn't exist, and on next run it is appended.
Then I wanted to run this email sender program automatically every day at 7 am. I created the scheduled cron job, which executes the following:
java -jar /var/projects/Autoemail/Autoemail.jar 2>> /var/projects/Autoemail/Autoemail.err
On first run it worked fine, the log file had been created and info or error had been inserted, but since then the program doesn't write any event into it. The jar file runs, because I can see the sent emails. When I started searching for the reason, and ran the command, it showed me a Permission denied error. I checked the rights of the log file, and it was: rw-rw-r--. So I modified, at last to rwxrwxrwx, but still doesn't write the log, and I can't see any error message in the syslog file. The owner doesn't need sudo right, I think. BTW the server is Ubuntu 13/04.
Does anyone have any idea of what can be wrong, what is still needed, or what do I have to do?

cassandra reinstallation not working on ubuntu

It was wroking fine some days before all though i changed the size from Xss:168k to 256k and now I am facing this error while starting cassandra,although i have gone through existing solution but that are saying to compare existing file of cassandra.yaml and copy-paste the difference between them but not working for me, i am working on ubntu-13.0.4 getting an error ExceptionInInitializerError ,HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
cassandra -f

any help and solution that work out,thanks.what changes do i have to make after reinstallation.
Edit
i have my log file in /etc/cassandra/log4j-tools.properties

This makes me thing that there is something wrong with your log4j config. The file is located in /test/conf/log4j-server.properties, or maybe its missing. Check this question out, I'd say its very closely related.
This is what the default looks like:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,R
# rolling log file ("system.log
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] %d{ISO8601} %F (line %L) %m%n
log4j.appender.R.File=build/test/logs/system.log

Log4j messages containing (?:method:?) instead of class name

My log4j messages are not including the class names:
[INFO] 22:41 (?: decodeDirectory :?)
Any idea why that would be so?
log4j.properties reads like so:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, logfile, console
log4j.appender.logfile=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.logfile.File=ExifImageRA.log
log4j.appender.logfile.MaxFileSize=1MB
log4j.appender.logfile.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.logfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern=[%5p] %d{mm:ss} (%F:%M:%L)%n%m%n%n
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=[%5p] %d{mm:ss} (%F:%M:%L)%n%m%n%n
It looks like what is actually missing from your log messages are the source file name (%F) and the line number (%L).
According to the javac Ant task: the debug attribute "[i]ndicates whether source should be compiled with debug information; defaults to off. If set to off, -g:none will be passed on the command line ... ".
According to the javac manual, the source filename and line numbers are omitted from the .class file if you compile with javac -g:none.
Hence, your log message lossage is a direct consequence of removing debug="true" from the javac task in your Ant build file.
