Logging from a groovlet

Question

Is there a way to write into the server log from a groovlet script? I've tried the following to no avail:

• Create a class with @Log4j annotation within the groovlet (@Log4j works fine in the rest of the project)

@Log4j('LOGGER')
class Log {
    static Logger getLogger() {
        LOGGER
    }
}

• Use ServerContext instance implicit variable application:

application.log('Hello world')

Any ideas welcome, thanks.

Answer 1

The logs didn't appear using the first method because of Log4j filtering on log4j.properties.

I created a separate class GroovletLogger inside one of our unfiltered packages and I can log fine from groovlets.
