not finding property file import from WEB-INF/classes/logback.xml
by Dennis Halladay 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

I am using logback in a Tomcat 6/Spring application. Most of our property files are under WEB-INF. I am getting the following error trying to import a property file. 11:25:41,110 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Found resource [logback.xml] at [file:/C:/Program%20Files/Apache%20Software%20Foundation/Tomcat%206.0/we bapps/PharmaServices/WEB-INF/classes/logback.xml] 11:25:41,449 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.ConfigurationAction - debug attribute not set 11:25:41,453 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.PropertyAction - Could not read properties file [../jdbc.properties]. java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\jdbc.properties (The system cannot find the file specified) logback.xml contains: <configuration> <property file="../jdbc.properties" /> Any suggestions? What happens once I jar up the contents of classes and move to the lib directory? Thanks, -Dennis

smtpappender buffer size
by Chris Cheshire 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

I just upgraded from 0.9.17 to 0.9.24 and now my SMTPAppender is dysfunctional. Previously it had a BufferSize option that I had set to 1 so that I could send out a single email per error. Now I get the error and 255 of it's closest debug, info, and warn friends even though the appender is only triggered by error messages. This makes for error emails that are ludicrously long and contain 99% chaff. I need to be able to configure the SMTPAppender to be able to have a buffer size of 1. How do I do this with the latest configuration model? I looked at the docs for the evaluator, and I am unclear if this is what I have to use, and even how to use it. Help! Chris

FileAppender#setBufferedIO
by Lars Fischer 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Hello, I would like to switch from Log4J to Logback. The old system extended Log4J FileAppender and used a method "setBufferedIO". The Logback FileAppender has no such a method. Does it no longer buffer? Regards, Lars

Hang with SMTPAppender
by Jeff Jensen 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

Using Logback 0.9.24 and SLF4J 1.6.1. I'm trying to resolve a hang problem with the ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender in an integration test and using SubethaSMTP as the email server. We have many tests working with SubethaSMTP that send emails, but not with Logback, so I know it works for the non-Logback configuration. I've also seen SMTPAppender work in a different situation to the production email server. So I think I have a config error somewhere with Logback setup to SubethaSMTP, but not sure what, or there is an issue in the LB & SS interaction. This is the SMTPAppender config: <appender name="EMAIL" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender"> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.html.HTMLLayout"> <pattern>%date%contextName%thread%-5level%-55logger{55}%mdc%marker%msg</pattern> <throwableRenderer class="ch.qos.logback.classic.html.DefaultThrowableRenderer" /> </layout> <SMTPHost>${mail.host.name}</SMTPHost> <SMTPPort>${mail.port.number}</SMTPPort> <From>${batch.email.address.from}</From> <To>${batch.email.address.to.cmrdevelopers}</To> <Subject>${batch.email.subject.prefix}Log Email: %msg</Subject> <evaluator class="ch.qos.logback.classic.boolex.OnMarkerEvaluator"> <marker>EMAIL_DEVS</marker> </evaluator> </appender> It hangs on call to SocketInputStream.socketRead0(), which is a native method. Anyone seen/solved this before? The timeout value is 0 on the socket read (means wait forever), so it is waiting for a response to read. While I'm trying to resolve this, one thing I'd like to do is set the timeout value so at least it doesn't hang. I'm not sure how to do that with SMTPAppender - anyone know how? The SMTPAppender/SMTPAppenderBase class does not have a timeout property, but SMTPAppenderBase does pull system properties. I'm hoping there is a config file-based approach to do this though... The following is a call stack captured in the Eclipse debugger; the next line-step would go into socketRead0() and hang. org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner at localhost:3598 Thread [main] (Suspended) SocketInputStream.read(byte[], int, int) line: 129 TraceInputStream.read(byte[], int, int) line: 97 BufferedInputStream.fill() line: 218 BufferedInputStream.read() line: 237 LineInputStream.readLine() line: 75 SMTPTransport.readServerResponse() line: 1440 SMTPTransport.openServer(String, int) line: 1260 SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(String, int, String, String) line: 370 SMTPTransport(Service).connect(String, int, String, String) line: 275 SMTPTransport(Service).connect(String, String, String) line: 156 SMTPTransport(Service).connect() line: 105 Transport.send0(Message, Address[]) line: 168 Transport.send(Message) line: 98 SMTPAppender(SMTPAppenderBase<E>).sendBuffer(E) line: 292 SMTPAppender(SMTPAppenderBase<E>).append(E) line: 159 SMTPAppender(AppenderBase<E>).doAppend(E) line: 85 AppenderAttachableImpl<E>.appendLoopOnAppenders(E) line: 64 Logger.appendLoopOnAppenders(ILoggingEvent) line: 283 Logger.callAppenders(ILoggingEvent) line: 270 Logger.buildLoggingEventAndAppend(String, Marker, Level, String, Object[], Throwable) line: 471 Logger.filterAndLog_0_Or3Plus(String, Marker, Level, String, Object[], Throwable) line: 425 Logger.error(Marker, String) line: 592 LoggerEmailTest.testEmailSend() line: 99 NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Method, Object, Object[]) line: not available [native method] NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Object, Object[]) line: 39 DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Object, Object[]) line: 25 Method.invoke(Object, Object...) line: 597 FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall() line: 44 FrameworkMethod$1(ReflectiveCallable).run() line: 15 FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(Object, Object...) line: 41 InvokeMethod.evaluate() line: 20 RunBefores.evaluate() line: 28 RunBeforeTestMethodCallbacks.evaluate() line: 74 RunAfters.evaluate() line: 31 RunAfterTestMethodCallbacks.evaluate() line: 82 SpringRepeat.evaluate() line: 72 SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(FrameworkMethod, RunNotifier) line: 240 SpringJUnit4ClassRunner(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner).runChild(Object, RunNotifier) line: 50 ParentRunner$3.run() line: 193 ParentRunner$1.schedule(Runnable) line: 52 SpringJUnit4ClassRunner(ParentRunner<T>).runChildren(RunNotifier) line: 191 ParentRunner<T>.access$000(ParentRunner, RunNotifier) line: 42 ParentRunner$2.evaluate() line: 184 RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks.evaluate() line: 61 RunAfterTestClassCallbacks.evaluate() line: 70 SpringJUnit4ClassRunner(ParentRunner<T>).run(RunNotifier) line: 236 SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.run(RunNotifier) line: 180 JUnit4TestClassReference(JUnit4TestReference).run(TestExecution) line: 46 TestExecution.run(ITestReference[]) line: 38 RemoteTestRunner.runTests(String[], String, TestExecution) line: 467 RemoteTestRunner.runTests(TestExecution) line: 683 RemoteTestRunner.run() line: 390 RemoteTestRunner.main(String[]) line: 197 Thread [ReaderThread] (Running) Thread [org.subethamail.smtp.server.SMTPServer] (Running) Thread [org.subethamail.smtp.server.Session-/127.0.0.1:3601] (Running)

groovy with Context Selector and logback-access

It looks like groovy configuration is not yet supported for both Context Selectors and for logback-access. Is this correct?

Jetty config docs incorrect for defining xml location
by Wilkes, Chris 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

On the webpage http://logback.qos.ch/access.html the <Set name="fileName">path/to/myaccess.xml</Set> part should be *inside* the definition of the request log implementation, should look like this: <Ref id="requestLog"> <Set name="requestLog"> <New id="requestLogImpl" class="ch.qos.logback.access.jetty.RequestLogImpl"> <Set name="fileName">path/to/myaccess.xml</Set> </New> </Set> </Ref> With the current docs Jetty doesn't even start up.

sending log events from BlackBerry devices
by ekke 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

last months I had to develop some mobile applications for a customer - it was the first time developing in this area and what was the first I really missed ? yes - Logging BlackBerry Java apps are using Java - something like 1.3 plus some RIM API, so no collections (only vector and Array), no generics..... and logging the BlackBerry way means: System.out() :( and this output is only availabel if the simulator was started in debug-mode, what's time-consuming and if you're running the debugger, then the output in Console is mixed with hundreds of events RIM is logging there - no, there's no filtering so I started to think how to get logging ? and now its working: I'm using Lilith from Jörn Huxhorn and sending zipped LogEvents in LogBack format as XML thru a socket connection, and - thanks to the help of Jörn - its working :) will do some more tests with real apps in real life and then provide as EPL ...I'll let you know -- ekke (ekkehard gentz) independent software-architect senior erp-consultant eclipse | osgi | equinox | mdsd | oaw | emf | uml | blackberry max-josefs-platz 30, D-83022 rosenheim, germany mailto:ekke@ekkes-corner.org homepage (de): http://gentz-software.de blog (en): http://ekkes-corner.org project lead: http://redview.org and http://red-open.org eclipse committer: Runtime Project Riena - http://eclipse.org/riena twitter: @ekkescorner skype: ekkes-corner Steuer-Nr: 156/220/30931 FA Rosenheim, UST-ID: DE189929490
