Hi. I am new to logback and have some problem with setting up the configuration. I want to add some new functionality to the existing logging configuration that was already in use in the application. I want my application to write log events from the classes that are in the package: "com.my.package" to a FILE
From the documentation I undestod that this can be done with <logger additivity="false" name="com.my.package"> <level value="debug" /> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </logger>
which points to a file appender. My logback.xml is listet below. This configuration prints everything to the console, but nothing to the FILE. Can someone please point out for me where i am doing wrong? Thanks! <configuration debug="true"> <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <File>c:\temp\testAction.log</File> <append>true</append> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy"> <FileNamePattern>testAction.%i.log.zip</FileNamePattern> <MinIndex>1</MinIndex> <MaxIndex>3</MaxIndex> </rollingPolicy> <triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy"> <MaxFileSize>5MB</MaxFileSize> </triggeringPolicy> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <Pattern>%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %X{action} %msg%n</Pattern> </layout> </appender> <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <Pattern>%msg%n</Pattern> </layout> </appender> <logger additivity="false" name="com.my.package"> <level value="debug" /> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </logger> <root> <level value="debug" /> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> </root> </configuration>
