ERR/WARN: DOM element, No appenders found, etc.

Hello,

According to the Short Manual for Log4J, using log4j.configuration
system property to specify the log4j config file location is the way to
go.

When I do that: java -Dlog4j.configuration=./log4j.xml com.example.Foo 

I get:

log4j:ERROR DOM element is - not a <log4j:configuration> element.
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.example.Foo).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

I checked my log4j.xml, and it starts with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<!-- $Id: log4j.xml,v 1.3 2004/03/30 03:17:52 otis Exp $ -->

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"
debug="false">

    <appender ..........

I am using Log4J 1.2.8 and I see that my log4j-1.2.8.jar has log4j.dtd
in it.

Any idea why I am getting that error and warning above?

RE: Static log reading tool...

My problem was localized enough that I was able to write a tool to do it
in an hour.  I plan to make it a bit more generic though when I return
from my vacation and I'll be happy to look at integrating my desired
functionality in chainsaw if you'd like.

You can open a remote XMLLayout formatted file by using a URL (e.g
file://mnt/mydrive/.... or http://myserver/logs/log.xml) by using the
menu item under the File menu.

Once you have read in the file, a tab is created based an a unique name
(configured from the app preferences).  Chainsaw v2 will remember as
preferences the logger filters you use in the Log Tree panel on the
left, but I am not sure we've got around to storing remembered filter
expressions yet.  But you could paste in the filter expression you
created previously I guess until we get around to it.

Re: ERR/WARN: DOM element, No appenders found, etc.

This is a simple mistake I've made many a time before.  The value of
log4j.configuration needs to be a URL.  So the following will work:

java -Dlog4j.configuration=file:./log4j.xml

Re: ERR/WARN: DOM element, No appenders found, etc.

Hello,

I have tried that, too, without success:

$ ls -al ./log4j.xml
-rwxr-xr-x    1 otis     otis        7021 Mar 31 18:00 ./log4j.xml

$ java -Dlog4j.configuration=file:./log4j.xml com.example.Foo
log4j:ERROR DOM element is - not a <log4j:configuration> element.
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.example.Foo).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

I have tried file:./ and file:///, and an absolute UNIX path.  None of
those worked.

Maybe Log4J is picking up some other config file from some Jar or some
other place?  Is there a way to see which config file Log4J is
complaining about?

Thanks,
Otis

Hi, you can try this. Add this line:

log4j.logger.ECPA=debug, LOGFILE

Another Newbie Question

Hi all,

log4j is currently running on a few servers here, and I'd
like to get my logs more organized.  As it stands, I'm using
FileAppenders that roll at 5mb with a backup of 20 files - a
tad messy at times.  I'm going to switch to a daily roll,
but I'd also like to try using SocketAppenders.  I have a
few questions:

- Can I use a SocketAppender to send logging data to a
syslog daemon on a remote host?

- How do I use Chainsaw with a SocketAppender?  Do I simply
setup a receiver within Chainsaw?

- When using a daily file roll, is the file overwritten
every night - or is it timestamped and a new file is
created?  Or will I have to script this myself?

Thanks,
Jeff

It's timestamped and a new one created, e.g. myLog becomes
myLog.2004-03-31 and a new file called myLog is created.

suppressing duplicates

I love log4j.  We find it invaluable and have purchased the manual to support the project.  

Does log4j have the ability to suppress duplicates?  Not the duplication caused by root loggers and
descendants.  I know that is alleviated by 
with the additivity setting.  

For example, when a connection is being reset, a loop that uses that connection will repeatedly log the
message, "connection not available".  I'd like to have that message appear only once in the log.  The loop
could be rewritten to exit and restart once the connection is available, but that creates a number of new
problems.   

Thanks

RE: Feature request for configureAndWatch

I second this request, if there is something like that :)

I want to be able to just use a URL when using configureAndWatch().
Currently this is only possible with the files on disk.

Thanks,
Kamlesh

This work has already been done in Geronimo. Maybe I should add it
to the Log4J configurator and contribute it to the project.
