Null & inherited log levels in properties file causing crashes

If I set a logger level to 'null' or 'inherited' in my
log4cxx.properties file, my application terminates as soon as I call
PropertyConfigurator::configureAndWatch().

Is this a known bug? If so, is there a workaround?

I've been using the CVS head as of mid-March. I just downloaded and
compiled the latest source from CVS head as of yesterday, and the
problem persists.

Redirect log file location

Hi,
Do you have any idea of how to redirect the location of the log file?

My log4j.properties file has
log4j.appender.A2.file=ABCDlogfile.log

When I run the program, it creates the log file in a folder I am not
expecting it to be. I want to be in the tomcat/logs directory. Of course I
do not want to hard code the absolute path for inconvenience to the users.
The web app runs on different platform/servers.

Any idea on how to redirect the log file location?

Thanks

installation - can't find liblog4cxx.10.dylib

Hi,

I'm trying to install log4cxx (svn) on Mac OS X , and I'm having trouble getting make install to work. 
./configure and make both run with no errors, so I think all the prerequisites (ant-contrib, cpptasks, 
apr, apr-util) are being found.  When I run make check, I get the following error:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/liblog4cxx.10.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/admin/Desktop/wavewatcher/logging-log4cxx/tests/src/.libs/testsuite
  Reason: image not found
make[1]: *** [run-unittest] Error 133
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

When I run make install, i get:

thanks for your detailed description on building log4cxx on a windows
system. I was very close to giving up, even though I'm very happy with
the current svn-snapshot of it on my Linux platform.

Let me summerize your journey for those not having time to read your 
detailed description: (please correct me, if I'm wrong at some point)

- building log4cxx with 'ant' failed
- creating project files for M$ Visual C++ 2005 with 'ant
build-project-vc8'
  succeeded
- building log4cxx with M$ Visual C++ 2005 VS and the created project
  files failed
- creating project files for M$ Visual C++ 6 with 'ant
build-project-vc6'
  succeeded
- building log4cxx with M$ Visual C++ 6 VS and the created project files
  finally succeeded
- converting the VS-6 project files to VS-2005 files and builing log4cxx
  (using the Visual Studio 2005) succeeded

Logger::getLogger(__FILE__) fails in release builds

RE: Logger::getLogger(__FILE__) fails in release builds

Retrieve logger hierarchy

Hi,

I'd like to change the logging behavior of my program at runtime.
Therefore, I'd like to visualize the current logger hierarchy. Can
someone tell me, how to access the logger hierarchy?

The log4cxx::Hierarchy::getCurrentLoggers() function should help, but
how can I get the hierarchy object corresponding to the current logger
hierarchy? With log4cxx::Logger::getLoggerRepository(), I can only
access the repository, not the derived hiearchy.

Regards,

Log4cxx encryption questions

Hello everybody!

We are using log4cxx and for our housekeeping of our 3PPs, I need to
find out if any encryption algorithm is used  in log4cxx (not that I
expect that it includes encryption, but I ask anyway).

1. Does log4cxx include an encryption algorithm?

2. If an encryption algorithm is included: what encryption algorithm is
implemented?

3. If an encryption algorithm is included: what is the key bit length
being used?

Thanks a lot!

Best strategy to ensure a rolling when an application is launched

Hello,
I'm using log4cxx with a standard application (not supposed to be runned
continuously), but I want to have two logs, one per day (in order to
check potential problems returned by the 'users', i.e. probably not
immediately) , and another per run (with retention of 5~10 runs), for
debugging purpose.

Unfortunately, both RollingFileAppender and DailyRollingFileAppender
can't be used (at least directly), because the application is supposed
to be running when it's time to roll.

At your opinion, what is the best way for me to 'force' a test of the
rolling policy when the application is runned ?
Should I create my own appender, or there is something that I've missed ?

regards

fs

(and sorry for my poor engl).
