Logging Problems in a ear with multiple modules

[A Kumar]

Hi,

I have an ear with 5 war modules; unfortunately the logging is not happening in 2 mdoules whereas it happens in the other 2 modules;but the functionality works fine for the 4 modules which means flow goes thru these code.

my code is like this..

public class Test{

private static Logger log=Logger.getLogger("applog");

     method(){
  log.inf("");
 
    }
}

And log4j.xml is

   


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration debug="false">

 

            <appender name="ASYNC" class="org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender">

                        <appender-ref ref="Erollingfile" />

                        <appender-ref ref="applnLog" />

            </appender>

 

            <appender name="applnLog" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

                        <param name="File" value="AppFile.log" />

                        <param name="MaxFileSize" value="100MB" />

                        <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="1" />

                        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

                        </layout>

            </appender>

                        <layout class="xyz..."></layout>

Was able to figure out the issue..

instead of war level log4j.xmls ; i had it ear level

Also there were 2 versions of log4j jars even that caused an exception

I read that we need to have only 1 version

even though strangely the same code works on WAS5.1 with both version of jars but doesnt in WAS6.1

removed the older version and now its working fine

Thanks everyone
