org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.Log4JLogChute initialization failed

[Chachad, Ketan]

Hi,

 

I have used Velocity in my web application.

I am not using any "velocity.properties" file as loading the file was
becoming a problem.

So to initialize VelocityEngine the code used is as follows:

VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();

ve.setProperty("resource.loader", "webapp");

ve.setProperty("webapp.resource.loader.class","org.apache.velocity.tools
.view.servlet.WebappLoader");

ve.setProperty("webapp.resource.loader.path","/WEB-INF/templates/");

ve.setApplicationAttribute("javax.servlet.ServletContext",this.servlet.g
etServletContext());

ve.init();

 

While the web application works fine on my local host, but when it was
deployed on to the test application server, it gave the following error

Error Code            500

Message                Failed to initialize an instance of
org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.Log4JLogChute with the current runtime
configuration.

 

Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to avoid this error?

There should be a stack trace that went with that message.  What did
it say?  Also, do you have log4j on your classpath?  If so, what
version?

Log4J version used by the web application is 1.2.8.

Please let me know if there are any settings need to be done in the
log4j.properties file or while setting the properties of VelocityEngine
object before calling its init() method.

That's just the wrapping exception; it doesn't tell much of anything.
I need the cause exception that was caught and wrapped by that
VelocityException.

I encountered the same error in my web app. I fixed it by following the instructions in the Velocity Developer's Guide in the section on "Using Log4j With Existing Logger":

http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/developer-guide.html#usinglog4jwithexistinglogger

As soon as I set properties for RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS and "runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.logger" the problem went away.

Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to avoid this error?
