Thanks David and Viola.
The document
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC22/configuring-application-specific-logging-with-log4j.html has been updated with this issue:
You can also use a log4j.properties file in your classpath, for example, in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF. (If you prefer not to place this file under WEB-INF/classes/, the path of this file must be added to your classpath). But this will obstruct anyone trying to configure logging as the file
will remain packed in your application somewhere hard to find.
<gbean name="DirectoryLog4jConfiguration" class="org.apache.geronimo.system.logging.log4j.ApplicationLog4jConfigurationGBean">
<attribute name="log4jResource">META-INF/log4j.properties</attribute>
</gbean>

hi, i follow steps in
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC22/configuring-application-specific-logging-with-log4j.html,
and add gbean information in geronimo-web.xml using log4jResource.
<dep:gbean
class="org.apache.geronimo.system.logging.log4j.ApplicationLog4jConfigurationGBean"
name="testlogLog4jConfiguration">
<dep:attribute
name="log4jResource">META-INF/log4j.properties</dep:attribute>
</dep:gbean>
But "Can't find META-INF/log4j.properties " error always exists. if i use
log4jFile setting like below:
<dep:gbean
class="org.apache.geronimo.system.logging.log4j.ApplicationLog4jConfigurationGBean"
name="testlogLog4jConfiguration">
<dep:attribute
name="log4jFile">var/log/log4j.properties</dep:attribute>
<dep:reference
name="ServerInfo"><dep:name>ServerInfo</dep:name></dep:reference>
<!--<dep:attribute
name="log4jResource">META-INF/log4j.properties</dep:attribute>-->
</dep:gbean>
it works well.
I looked into ApplicationLog4jConfigurationGBean code:
...
InputStream in;
if (log4jFile != null) {
File file = serverInfo.resolveServer(log4jFile);
in = new FileInputStream(file);
} else if (log4jResource != null) {
in = classloader.getResourceAsStream(log4jResource);
if (in == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("No log4j properties resource
found at " + log4jResource);
}
} else {
return;
}
...
in = classloader.getResourceAsStream(log4jResource);
ClassLoader will search this file from classpath, and my project structure
is:
LogWeb
---src(testlog.java
---WebContent
META-INF(log4j.properties)
WEB-INF
index.jsp
----
Why it can't find out file META-INF/log4j.properties?
Try WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/log4j.properties.
thanks
