Use my log4j under jboss 6

Question

I want to deploy my web application on JBOSS6. The applicaation itself works, but the logging doens\'t. I use log4j and have added a jboss-deployment-structure.xml to my war

Answer 1

to set my log4j in the classpath correctly i did 2 things :

1) I set the name of the log4j to use like this

-Dlog4j.configuration=fox-log4j.xml

this one has to be in the CLASSPATH

2) I call the logging manager explicitly otherwise the jboss log4j wont work

this gives in my run.conf :

#parameter used by the JVM and call later in the log4j.xml
LOG_FOLDER=$DIRNAME/../server/default/log
#jvm options
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Dlog4j.configuration=fox-log4j.xml \
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.io.encoding=UTF-8 -DjavaEncoding=UTF-8 -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver \
-Djavax.management.builder.initial=org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl \
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager \
-Dorg.jboss.logging.Logger.pluginClass=org.jboss.logging.logmanager.LoggerPluginImpl \
-DLOG_FOLDER=$LOG_FOLDER"

now a piece of my log4j :

hope this could help. regards
