How to define log4j2 config correctly in web,xml

2.3k Views Asked by At

Trying to use log4j2 within my Jersey3 application (running in a tomcat). I want to load the config through my web.xml as the following:

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_4_0.xsd"
         version="4.0">

    <!-- ServletContextListeners -->
    <listener>
        <listener-class>com.something.AppContextListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
    
    <!-- Servlets -->
    <servlet>
       ...
    </servlet>

    <!-- Log4J -->
    <context-param>
        <param-name>log4jConfiguration</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:config/log4j-dev.properties</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <!-- URL-Mapping -->
    <servlet-mapping>
        ...
    </servlet-mapping>

    <!-- Security Roles -->
    <security-role>
      ...
    </security-role>

    <!-- Login Config -->
    <login-config>
        ...
    </login-config>

    <!-- Security Constraints-->
    <security-constraint>
       ...
    </security-constraint>
</web-app>

The config file itself, lie in the following structure:

src/main/resources/config/

In my properties, I defined a File logger:

log4j-dev.properties

status = warn
name= properties_configuration

property.basePath = ${sys:catalina.home}/logs/ogd_mdd/

# RollingFileAppender will print logs in file which can be rotated based on time or size
appender.rolling.type = RollingFile
appender.rolling.name = fileLogger
appender.rolling.fileName= ${basePath}app.log
appender.rolling.filePattern= ${basePath}app_%d{yyyyMMdd}.log.gz
appender.rolling.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.rolling.layout.pattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %level [%M] [%l] - %msg%n

# Configure root logger for logging error logs in classes which are in package other than above specified package
rootLogger.level = info
rootLogger.appenderRef.rolling.ref = fileLogger

pom.xml

        <!-- Logging -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
            <version>${log4j2.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
            <version>${log4j2.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j-web</artifactId>
            <version>${log4j2.version}</version>
        </dependency>

All I get is console logs on the ERROR level (seems like the default config was loaded instead of mine). I am sure, I defined the configuration correctly, although made a mistake in the web.xml... How would I need to define the path, to get the properties load correctly?

You use the wrong value for the log4jConfiguration parameter: file:///config/log4j-dev.properties points to the file /config/log4j-dev.properties of your local file system.

Since log4jConfiguration can be either a resource path to pass to ServletContext#getResource or an absolute URI, you can use:

  • either the path of the file relative to the web applications root: /WEB-INF/classes/config/log4j-dev.properties,
  • a classpath URI: classpath:config/log4j-dev.properties.

Edit: there is also a little problem with your configuration: it lacks a triggering policy:

status = warn
name= properties_configuration

property.basePath = ${sys:catalina.base}/logs/ogd_mdd/

# RollingFileAppender will print logs in file which can be rotated based on time or size
appender.rolling.type = RollingFile
appender.rolling.name = fileLogger
appender.rolling.fileName= ${basePath}app.log
appender.rolling.filePattern= ${basePath}app_%d{yyyyMMdd}.log.gz
appender.rolling.policy.type = TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.rolling.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.rolling.layout.pattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %level [%M] [%l] - %msg%n

# Configure root logger for logging error logs in classes which are in package other than above specified package
rootLogger.level = info
rootLogger.appenderRef.rolling.ref = fileLogger
