How to log to a file using the log-configuration.xml?

Question

Hello *,
I created following log-configuration.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log-configuration SYSTEM "log-configuration.dtd">
<log-configuration>
     <log-formatters>
          <log-formatter name="DefaultFormatter" pattern="%25d %-60l %s: %m" type="TraceFormatter"/>
     </log-formatters>
     <log-destinations>
          <log-destination count="10" effective-severity="ALL" limit="1000000" name="DefaultDestination" pattern="FDLB_GUI.%g.trc" type="FileLog">
               <formatter-ref name="DefaultFormatter"/>
          </log-destination>
     </log-destinations>
     <log-controllers>
          <log-controller effective-severity="ALL" maximum-severity="FATAL" minimum-severity="DEBUG" name="DefaultController">
               <associated-destinations>
                    <destination-ref association-type="LOG" name="DefaultDestination"/>
               </associated-destinations>
          </log-controller>
     </log-controllers>
</log-configuration>
From a Web Dynpro view I want to use the log-controller. I'm using the default logger:
Logging location.
  private static final com.sap.tc.logging.Location logger =
    com.sap.tc.logging.Location.getLocation(EinstiegView.class);
In the wdInit method I want to log a simple message:
  public void wdDoInit()
    //@@begin wdDoInit()
    logger.setEffectiveSeverity(com.sap.tc.logging.Severity.ALL);
    logger.fatalT("test logging to new file logger");
    //@@end wdDoInit()
I see the message in the defaultTrace.0.log, but my own log file doesn't appear.
How to address the log-controller of my log-configuration.xml?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I guess the follwing part of your log-configuration is wrong:
<log-controller
effective-severity="ALL"
maximum-severity="FATAL" m
nimum-severity="DEBUG"
name="DefaultController">
Try to change in log-configuration the value for name in <log-controller> to the start sequence of the packages to be logged. E.g., all our packages should start with com.yourcompanyname.projectname
To log all messages from classes in these packages make the name = com.yourcompanyname.projectname.
Hope that helps,
