Configuring log4j.properties

Imago and most of the Xenei packages uses the log4j logging package from Apache. The log4j configuration is defined in the log4j.properties file. This file follows the properties file layout specified in the log4j documentation.

Some servlet containers (e.g. Tomcat or JBoss) use the log4j system internally. In those systems the rootCategory entries should be commented-out.

Example:

#log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, ImagoLog, ImagoConsole

            log4j.rootCategory=WARN, ImagoLog

            

            log4j.category.org.xenei=WARN, ImagoLog

            

            # turn down the pipeline messages (uncomment these when debugging)

            #log4j.category.org.xenei.imago.pipeline=WARN

            #log4j.category.org.xenei.imago.processmap=WARN

            

            # ImagoLog is set to be a FileAppender

            log4j.appender.ImagoLog=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender

            # specify the file name below

            log4j.appender.ImagoLog.File=imago.log

            log4j.appender.ImagoLog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

            log4j.appender.ImagoLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

            

            # ImagoConsole is set to be a ConsoleAppender

            log4j.appender.ImagoConsole=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

            log4j.appender.ImagoConsole.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

            log4j.appender.ImagoConsole.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
