V7 - Logging Custom Scripts Deployed to WebLogic

Steven_Silvestri

Hello,

We are trying to enable log4j for some custom scripts we have deployed to cmaext_ear Our custom scripts are deployed as a WAR here and invoked via cronjob. We tried placing a log4j.properties file within the WAR but did not see any log files being generated. Where should the log4j.properties be placed to enable logging this WAR?

Also which logging API should these scripts be using? Is it com.vignette.logging.CommonsLogger or org.apache.log4j.Logger;

 

Thanks!

Hello Steven,

If this is integrated to your Vignette app, you just need to integrate your logging configuration within the existing "vgnlog.xml" under "$Vignette_home\Content\<version>\adm\logging"

You need to add something like this at the end of the vgnlog.xml file (this is cool because you can let the Vignette system control the log level for your custom component):

                <!-- BEGIN: custom logging -->
                <logger name="com.my.custom.package">
                   <level value="${com.vignette.logLevel}"/>
                </logger>
                <!-- END: custom logging -->

Then, within your class, the code should be like this (you will need to add 'vgn-shared-logging.jar' to your classpath, you should find it under your $Vignette_home/Content/<version>/lib):

package com.my.custom.package;

import com.vignette.logging.context.ContextLogger;

public class MyCustomClassDeployedSomewhere {
    
    private static final ContextLogger log = ContextLogger.getLogger(MyCustomClassDeployedSomewhere.class);
    
Kind regards,
