Project Can't Find logback.xml file
by Roger Spears 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hello, I'm running Netbeans 7.0.1 on a Mac Book Pro with OS Lion. I'm currently using log4j without any problems. I wanted to try out logback. Yesterday I downloaded logback and placed the 4 jar files in the proper location. I'm able to run the basic logback HelloWorld example. Here's the code for the HelloWorld example I'm working with: package helloworld; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("helloworld"); logger.debug("Hello world."); } } Here's my customized logback.xml file: <configuration> <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> <encoder> <pattern>%date %n [%thread] %level %logger{35} - %n %msg</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <root level="DEBUG"> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> </root> </configuration> The problem is...Netbeans (or java) never picks up on my customized logback.xml file. I'm starting out easy by just changing the pattern to see if I can get it to work. When I run the project, I see the following on the console: 11:56:33.569 [main] DEBUG helloworld - Hello world. That's not the pattern I specified in logback.xml. I'm assuming I just don't have it in the proper location. I have a copy of logback.xml in the following locations just to see if I had it in the wrong place: NetBeansProjects -> HelloWorld -> src -> logback.xml NetBeansProjects -> HelloWorld -> logback.xml NetBeansProjects -> HelloWorld -> nbproject -> private -> logback.xml NetBeansProjects -> HelloWorld -> build -> classes -> logback.xml System -> Libraries -> Java -> Extensions -> logback.xml I am still unable to get the pattern I'm looking for. Does anyone know why this would be happening? Thanks, Roger -- Roger

SMTPAppender+Evaluator+Discriminator. ¿what buffer is send?
by Pepe Caballero 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

I am trying to send specifing error generated for some hours of day. So I decided to extends some class 1. First i implements Evaluator do decide when to send de email. It works correctly. 2. Second, i implement Discriminator interface to generate 2 buffers, One for the messaged generated on the hours that must not sended and another one for the messaged that must be sended by email. My problems is how SMTPAppender decide what buffer must be sended. Always looks to be sended the first called. ¿any idea? Thanks too much -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/SMTPAppender%2BEvaluator%2BDiscriminator.-%C2%BFwhat-… Sent from the Logback User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Custom LayoutWrappingEncoder question
by Adam Gordon 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

I'm using a custom LayoutWrappingEncoder to colorize and selectively timestamp my log file entries. This encoder is configured via the <encoder> element in my logback XML file. My question is, with a custom encoder, is there a way I can specify a <layout> element in my <encoder> element and use the built in layout patterns? I've tried: <encoder class="com.bar.foo.CustomLayoutWrappingEncoder"> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> [level] - %logger{15}: %message%n x%Ex{full} </layout> </encoder> But I'm seeing the following error in the console when testing that: 13:06:58,318 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout("null") - Empty or null pattern. Am I doing this correctly? Thanks, --adam

Class not found exception for LoggingEventVO
by MDerr＠nycm.com 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

I have an application client set up to send a logging message over a bus using a logback JMSQueueAppender. Logback version is 0.9.24 and slf4j version is 1.6.1. This is running on a Websphere 7.0 server in Rational Application Developer 7.5. I've tested the bus and queue with a simple text message using the RAD Universal Test Client and that works fine, so at least the foundation is solid. When I log a message to the message queue, I wind up with the following stack trace under a wide variety of attempts: [8/11/10 14:44:16:223 EDT] 0000002b SystemOut O Exception CWSIA0122E: An exception occurred deserializing a message, exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.LoggingEventVO.

Object rendering
by Manuel Uberti 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi, I am new to logback, and I was asked to migrate our project from log4j to logback. I was wondering if there's any kind of support for object rendering such as in log4j. This is what we're now doing with log4j. public static LoggerRepository getLoggerRepository() { if (loggerRepository == null) { loggerRepository = org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository(); } return loggerRepository; } public static RendererSupport getRendererSupport() { LoggerRepository lr = getLoggerRepository(); if ((lr != null) && (lr instanceof RendererSupport)) rendererSupport = (RendererSupport) lr; return rendererSupport; } public static ObjectRender getRendererObject(Class<?> clazz) { ObjectRender renderer = getRendererSupport().getRendererMap().get(clazz); return renderer; } Any thoughts? Thank you, Manuel

Logging separation with JavaSE
by BRESCIANI, MARCO (MARCO) 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hello all, I've read the logging separation chapter of the manual since my customers (and our tech support) are requiring to separate log file for each "application". Brief description of the application: something like, say, Word: a container application (with a MDC called %X{Server} with a string, say, "Main") plus some different "internal" applications loaded at runtime (with a MDC called %X{Address} being an IP address). When the application starts there is the %X{Server} MDC while when on of the internal applications is loaded by the main one, such application sets the MDC with its own IP. Seems working fine. :) I've been asked to split the log files according to the MDC (because it's "too difficult to use a regexp to filter the file". You know, customers...) and reading the logging separation chapter, I modified my appender: <appender class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender" name="RootFileAppender" encoding="UTF-8"> <file>trace/WTPMS.log</file> Into this: <appender class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender" name="RootFileAppender" encoding="UTF-8"> <file>trace/${Server}.log</file> And logback creates a file called "Server_IS_UNDEFINED.log", probably because the MDC is set after few (4-5) lines of checks that include a logging entry. Also, setting the MDC, anyway does not create a new file with the new name, even if the "scan" property is true. Any possible solution to this kind of separation? Thanks all, MARCO BRESCIANI ALCATEL-LUCENT Marco.Bresciani(a)alcatel-lucent.com

SMTPAppender for android
by Enrico Spinielli 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi, I am just trying out logback for Android and I was curious about the possibility to use SMTPAppender, but found out it is not included in the features set. Is there any technical reason why this appender is not supported? Or is it just because of "logistics" (aka lack of available effort/time ;-)? Thanks a lot for your feedback Bye -- Enrico Spinielli "Do Androids dream of electric sheep?"— Philip K.

appender file name using name of warfile directory
by Volker Hochstein 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hi, just a quick question. let s assume I ve got a warfile application1 installed to tomcats webapps dir. Do I have the possiblilty to do the following in my appender, without defining any properties of my own? <file>${catalina.base}/logs/${somehow find out that it is application1 running}.log Basically, if there is a property like catalina.base, which gives me the of the dir in webapps directory? Thanks a lot in adance. -- Volker
