JBoss Log4J problem

Hi all,
Although Log4J is not exactly about Java, but it is kind of related, so please don't mind me posting this message.
I am having problems stoping JBoss from reloading the log4j.properties file. Is there anyway to stop it from polling the log4j.properties file every now and then..
Thx for your help
Kevin

Look at ${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/jboss-service.xml. It has a section with the following code:
   <mbean code="org.jboss.logging.Log4jService"
      name="jboss.system:type=Log4jService,service=Logging">
      <attribute name="ConfigurationURL">resource:log4j.xml</attribute>
      <attribute name="Log4jQuietMode">true</attribute>
      
      <attribute name="RefreshPeriod">60</attribute>
   </mbean>You could try setting the refresh periode to 0, but I don't know to what kind of behaviour that will result in.

JBoss, Log4J and OnlyOnceErrorHandler message

Just posting this message in case other people run into the same problem I did.
I am deploying an application that includes Log4J jar file. When I run in JSC, everything works fine. However, when I create a WAR and deploy to JBoss I get problems with Log4J at startup of the JBoss server. The error is:
log4j:ERROR A "org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler?" object is not assignable to a "org.apache.log4j.spi.ErrorHandler?" variable.
To fix this problem, I exclude the Log4J files from my WAR file. This can be done in JSC by right clicking on the project and selecting properties. Select Libraries and uncheck your Log4J jar file(s). JSC will use the JARS to compile the application but will not use the in the exported WAR file. Since the current release of JBoss includes Log4J jar, it creates an error at startup.

You can tell it you don't want to inherit, by adding
this to your "standard" category tag:
<category name="standard" additivity="false">
thanks. it works perfect.
ok i got it working kind of. Jboss already comeswith
a log4j.xml so i put my log4j stuff in this file :You should be able to deploy your own log4j.xml with
your app's resource files and make it use yours when
it is running your app.Ok I took out my stuff from Jboss log4j.xml, create a new xml progtest.log4j.xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false">
<appender name="DEVLOG" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
    <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/developer.log" />
    <param name="Append" value="true" />
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n" />
    </layout>
</appender>
<category name="standard" additivity="false">
    <priority value="INFO"/>
    <appender-ref ref="DEVLOG" />
</category>
</log4j:configuration>My web application is in a ProgTest.WAR folder. I put the above file "progtest.log4j.xml" under WEB-INF/classes in ProgTest.WAR folder. When i run the app the very first problem again arises that no developer.log file was created; instead the concerned messages were put into server.log and console.
All my classes are in one jar file. I include progtest.log4j.xml in that jar file, redeploy it and test it but still the same problem.
What i am doing wrong here?
Thanks

please can any body tell me how to solve this problem

Problems like this don't cease to amaze me.
We are in the year of 2009 and this problem is most probably caused because jboss is started from a path which contains one or more space.
Try move your jboss installation or eclipse installation (i am not familiar how jboss in installed inside eclipse) to a folder with no spaces and the problem should go away.
It is sad that nice software like jboss has stupid bugs like this. Oh and it migh not be jboss but the JVM. It is silly in any case...

Log4j problem with JRockit

When I use JRockit 8.1 SP2 with Log4j 1.2.8, it appears that JRockit handles reflection differently than the Sun JVM, because the log4j messages come back wrong under JRockit and work fine with Hotspot.
I think if you do the following you will reproduce the issue:
Set your ConversionPattern layout in Log4j to include Method lookup (%M) - for example:
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS}] %5p %x %c.%M() line %L - %m%nGet some code to log a log4j message. Run it under the different JVMs and the log4j messages will give you different results.
For example, under Sun's JVM, the method name is properly returned in the log message:
[15:39:21.549] DEBUG COMMON.com.mycompany.common.security.ldap.LdapManager.findGroupsSelectedAttributes() line 696 - <exit
[15:39:21.948] WARN COMMON.com.mycompany.common.dao.DAOFactory.reset() line 244 - Resetting DAO cacheUnder JRockit, you get what appears to be the return type of the method. Sometimes it's instead of the method name, sometimes it's in addition to it:
[16:12:45.014] DEBUG COMMON.com.mycompany.common.security.ldap.LdapManager.List;() line 696 - <exit
[16:12:45.034] WARN COMMON.com.mycompany.common.dao.DAOFactory.reset()V() line 244 - Resetting DAO cache

We have seen this problem with JRockit before and it seems to be a compatability issue with log4j.
Quoting Jim Brown of BEA:
"The underlying problem appears to be that log4j is ignorant of the extended method argument and type data returned by JRockit."
At this point, we have not changed anything in JRockit to avoid this.

Mysql, Jboss connecting problem

Hello,
I am having problem with mysql database. I am trying to run AccountEJB application from SUN with mysql as my backend.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET I AM NOT EXPERT IN JBOSS OR EJB BUT I AM TRYING TO LEAN WITH A EXAMPLE.
HERE IS MY SETUP UP TO THIS POINT.
I am running jboss-3.03.0_tomcat-4.0.3
I am including

4. jboss.xml
6. mysql-service.xml ( I add my database name, username, password and i copy it to ..server/default/deploy dir.)
I only modified mysql-service.xml. Do i have to modify any other jboss files. Some people are saying i have to modify "standardjaws.xml, standardjbosscmp.xml"
My AccountBean code is

Log4j problem occuring through use of MDC.

Hey folks,
I've encountered a bit of a problem with using log4j's MDC class within applications in weblogic. It's not a bug at all it's just giving me grief.
Basically I've setup ApplicationLifecycleListener on my ear app and on all web apps within weblogic. They're there to catch startup events so that I can slot the application name into the MDC in order to be able to retrieve it when an exception occurs.
Web :-
MDC.put("APPLICATION_NAME", ce.getServletContext().getServletContextName());
EJB :-
MDC.put("APPLICATION_NAME", evt.getApplicationContext().getApplicationName();
Alas as the lifecycle listener events are handled on a seperate thread where exceptions occur the MDC, being effectively a threadlocal hashmap, returns null when I attempt to retrieve the name of the app.
I was wondering if anyone could think of a cleaner way of doing this? Perhaps using JMX or even by binding the contextClassLoader (which seems to remain the same across the threads into the JNDI tree with the application name)? Or else if anyone can think of any neater way of doing this that would be great.
Thanks,
Mark.

Dummy://log4j.dtd (log4j problem in Oracle 10gAS)

Hi,
Wonder who has log4j.xml experience in EJB environment?
I tried on Oracle 10gAS on Windows (the iAS version actually is still 9.0.4.2), my log4j initilization code looks like:
InputStream inStream = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(sLogFileName);
new DOMConfigurator().doConfigure(inStream, LogManager.getLoggerRepository());
There is no problem to find the log4j.xml however the application server complains the log4j.dtd:

I check DOMConfiguration.java, it contains:
docBuilder.setErrorHandler(new SAXErrorHandler());
docBuilder.setEntityResolver(new Log4jEntityResolver());
// we change the system ID to a valid URI so that Crimson won't
// complain. Indeed, "log4j.dtd" alone is not a valid URI which
// causes Crimson to barf. The Log4jEntityResolver only cares
// about the "log4j.dtd" ending.
inputSource.setSystemId("dummy://log4j.dtd");
Document doc = docBuilder.parse(inputSource);
parse(doc.getDocumentElement());
Anybody has an idea and help me? Thanks in advance.

Abirami,
This problem got solved as the static variables used for the JDBCAppender class are case sensitive.
I modifed the variables Driver and URL. Now it is working for me.
Here is the corrected code:
log4j.appender.db=org.apache.log4j.jdbc.JDBCAppender
log4j.appender.db.Driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
log4j.appender.db.URL=jdbc racle:thin:server:1523 bname
log4j.appender.db.user=username
log4j.appender.db.password=password
log4j.appender.db.sql=INSERT INTO LOG VALUES ('%d %-5p -%F %m')
log4j.appender.db.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.db.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p - %m
log4j.appender.db.Threshold=debug

JBoss install problem - nothing is installed

Hello,
I have installed aur/jboss package
aur/jboss 5.1.0.GA-1 [installed] (53)
JBoss Application Server
But there is no /opt/jboss directory, no service added, nothing. When I try to uninstall it, it says:
Packages (1): jboss-5.1.0.GA-1
Total Removed Size: 0,00 MiB
zip file with jboss is installed correctly, all additional files (build, service..) are too.
What is the problem with this process ?

Anyody experience problems with Log4J so far?

Andre

Found bug on Metalink with a resolution...
Tks
Put the new log4j.jar file in completely new location and modify application.xml for your OC4J instance to include the new log4j.jar using: <library path="/private/ias/ora9ias/mylog4j/lib" /> ---Use this if the same log4j.jar is being used by more than one application

JBoss authentication problem

Hi all
i am using jboss - UsernamepasswordLoginModule for username and password authentication. I want to know the way to restrict users after 3 bad logins.
if user uses wrong password for three times successively then something should happen like he should not be able to login for next 30 minutes.
It can be done in weblogic, but how to do it in jboss?
thanx in advance.

thanx but its not specified thereDid you read this part?:
How do I configure security with JBoss ?
JBoss uses JAAS for security. JBoss includes several JAAS login modules allowing applications to get their user info from LDAP servers, databases or property files (the last to simplify testing). There are also login modules for clients, so that they can send security information to the JBoss server. Note that an application that logs into JBoss must use JAAS to give user name and password. It is not possible to use the JNDI lookup information for that in JBoss. How to configure this is shown in chapter 8 of the free getting started guide.
Did you check the "getting started guide"?
Did you familiarize yourself with JAAS?
Did you implement/configure a login module?
Did you have a specific problem with the login module (errors, etc.)?
Did you post this question at the JBoss Forum?
Did you get an answer?
Did you try anything at all about which you can post the details?
Are you getting my point?

Jboss - Applet problem

I am connecting to JBoss application server from a signed applet,
my code is like this

               env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "SERVER_NAME") ;
               env.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces" ) ;
               env.put("java.naming.security.principal", CBGlobals.USER_NAME);
               env.put("java.naming.security.credentials", CBGlobals.PASSWORD);
               Context ic = new InitialContext (env);

Check out how our WLS 8.1 sample application MedRec (which implements
Struts) configures Log4j.

Hi!
Wonder if anyone can help me out with a problem with Log4J and WebLogic

We've written an application that uses WLS and a whole bunch of open
source stuff,
such as Struts 1.1RC1. We use Log4J 1.5.3 for logging. The
log4j.properties
file
is located in a config-directory, so we should be able to changelogging
parameters
on the fly. However, the application always loggs as INFO even if Ichange
to
DEBUG mode, so it doesn't seem that the properties file is beingacknowledged
at all.
I've tried using the set the JAVA_OPTIONS to:JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dlog4j.properties=file:/%REFAPP_HOME%/conf/app/log4j.propertie
s

and using the PRE_CLASSPATH with the same path (excluding the file:/
of course).
I've also tried copying the properties file to my domain, but no go.
What could
be wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
if possible, try with "max-bean-in-free-pool=1".
note: it would be performance impact, as there would be single bean instance.
Thanks,
