Hello ,

How Can i add Log4j to my suppourt ??

A site says this thing :


Once you have added the log4j JAR file to your application, then you will need to setup log4j using either a log4j.properties or log4j.xml file.

Hi ,

I am using Log4j inside my class like this :

Logger log = Logger.getLogger(LogClass.class);

This is my properties 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{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout

But this prints log statements in my IDE console only.

I want to have all these statements inside a File . Please tell me how can i do all these ??

Sorry, which "statements" do you want to have inside a file? Your configuration will already be in a file, so it isn't clear what you mean by that sentence.

which "statements" do you want to have inside a file?

Inside my java class

log.info("Object Created");
			log.warn("Not Found");
			log.error("Exception Came ");
			log.fatal("JVM Destroyed");

My query is How can i have all these above statements inside a File (Rather than on to console).

Please tell me .

Okay. You really mean "How can I get the logging output from these statements into a file", right? You don't want the Java statements to be in a file, do you?

You will find programming is easier if you express yourself clearly. If you can't express what you want to do, you won't be able to write a program to do that.

But anyway, back to the question. Your properties file specifies a ConsoleAppender and nothing else. That's why the logging output goes to the console and nowhere else. If you want it to go to a file then you need to specify a FileAppender in the properties file.
