DispatchAction and Log4j

[NiJK]

I'm trying to get Log4j working with my application.

It works fine in all my classes when I add the line
private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(ClassName.class);

However, a DispatchAction already has a logger defined. When I add this line to a DispatchAction I am receiving two lines of output instead of just the one. If I remove the line, I get no output at all.

I am forwarding commons-logging to log4j using
org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4jFactory

How do I configure the logger for a struts action?

Thanks.

Since you're using log4j, you can configure any logger you want using
additional configuration.

log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=DEBUG

Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

My DispatchActions are classes of type myproject.myactions, for example.

Shouldn't I be able to add the line
log4j.logger.myproject.myactions.myaction=DEBUG
and have the level defined for this class alone?

Loggers need to be referenced by the name passed into their constructor.

For example:
package org.something;
class A {
  protected static final log = Logger.createLogger(A.class);
}

package com.something;
class B extends A { }

The name of the logger is "org.something.A" (the class reference is a
shorthand). So you'll have to configure it by that.
