Hi Jason,
I've taken your log4.xml, changed its log file location to "mylog.txt",
wrapped it in a JAR file, and included this JAR file in the lib directory
of my test EAR file (which also includes both commons-logging and
log4j), which I've attached.
Can you deploy the attached EAR file and then access
http://<host>:<port>/123/TestServlet
Each access to this servlet will print a line to
$INSTALL/domains/domain1/config/mylog.txt
The reason the file will be created in this directory is because the
startserv script in your domain's bin directory has this statement:
cd "$INSTANCE_ROOT/config"
Of course, you may also specify an absolute log file location in
log4.xml, but I wanted the attached EAR file to work for you
out-of-the-box.
I did see mylog.txt getting created and updated even after copying the
commons-logging and log4j JAR files to my domain's lib directory
(which is what you've done).
I did notice, however, that after undeploying test.ear, changing the
log file location in log4j.xml, repackaging and redeploying test.ear,
the log messages were still getting written to the old log file. I had
to stop and restart the appserver in order for the log messages to
appear in the new location. I assume log4j stores the log file
location as a system property, but I would need to verify this.
Please try the attached test.ear and let me know.
Thanks,
Jan
