Trace: • Use log4j
This is an old revision of the document!
This is a very technical article and it's only relevant for developers or experienced users. Usually the integrated log mechanism is good enough, but from a developer point of view it might be helpful to use a different log mechanism.
Every application will be created with a loggerfactory.properties in the test directory. If you keep the file in the test directory, your application won't use it after installation. If you want to use it for the installed application, just move the file to the src.server folder. To configure log4j, simply remove the # from the first line. It will look like
default.class=com.sibvisions.util.log.log4j.Log4jLoggerFactory
afterwards.
Also create a log4j.properties or log4j2.xml in the src.server folder.
This was the configuration part, now you need the log4j libraries. Please download:
and put all into the libs/server directory.
If you run your application in Eclipse or any other IDE, be sure to add all 3 libraries to your build path (classpath) and also as Deployment Assemlbies.
