Logging to different logging framework

I was wondering if it is possible to log ALL messages from server, jms, rmi, web-access, etc. to a single logging framework, log4j/commons-logging/java logging. I eventually need to gather all the logs generated by the application server and log them to syslog, either by a handler or an appender. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Did you get an answer to your message. I am in the same dilemma. I need to send log messages to one file however. If someone helped you with this, I would love to see how it was done.
Thx,
Pandorliza

Integration of Commons Logging framework with Weblogic

Hi,
We are trying to use Apache commons logging framework and trying to publish log mesages in Weblogic so that messages can be seen through console and all the Logging configurations can be managed from Admin console. I tried using the below steps:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/logging/config_logs.html#using_commons
But these does not seems to be working for User defined handlers. I am able to see the logs in the default odl-handler file but not able to log the messages through the handlers defined by me.
Can anyone help me on this.
Regards,
Anuj

Logging Framework for AIR

Hi All,
I am looking for some good logging framework for both AIR and
RIA application. I am new to flex so hoping some links from the
forum people. It would be nice if you guys can provide any link for
that framework where i can seee the example of how to use the
logging in AIR and RIA.
Thanks in advance
~hStrong

Not so much a framework, but I have a logging class I use for
debugging purposes in my Ajax AIR app. It's written in javascript,
but I'm sure that you could rewrite it for flash or flex if you
needed to.
http://www.ear-fung.us/apps/airlogger/
you just include the JS file I have posted on my site and log
to the file using log.write("message here");
It'll put a log file on your desktop with all sorts of debug
related goodness.

Logging Framework available as an extension?

Does anybody know if the Logging Framework available in JDK 1.4 beta 2 is available as an extension to be used with JDK 1.3?

Couple of days later and I've tried out lumberjack..
The good news is that it works, but as usual there's several serious issues to consider..
Lumberjack obivously needs to use the same package (java.util.logging) as the logging API, which prevents developers from loading the jar normally at which point you get java.lang.SecurityException: Prohibited package name. The release note suggest a couple of ways around this but basically consist of adding lumberjack to the bootclasspath: -Xbootclasspath/a:./jars/logging.jar
I had to problems here, this means I can't use webstart because it doesn't allow changes to these jre parameters and runs fowl of the sun licence, to quote from the tool docs:
"-Xbootclasspath/p:path
Specify a semicolon-separated path of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives to prepend in front of the default bootstrap class path. Note: Applications that use this option for the purpose of overriding a class in rt.jar should not be deployed as doing so would contravene the Java 2 Runtime Environment binary code license."
The second problem I had was with the loading of the logging.properties file, which needs to sit under the jre/lib directory; obviously it isn't present under jdk1.3, 1.2 so either you need make a copy there; or override it's location by changing the java.util.logging.config.file.
Primarly because of the licence issues, this means that I can't honestly use the java.util.logging package and expect cross compatibilty - so my only realistic option is to forget it and use something like apache Log4j instead which works under the full jre gamut..
Wasted a lot of time over this, hope this helps anybody else from making the same mistakes.

Logging framework for ADF

Hie
For my ADF app what are the options provided by Oracle to do the logging to be able to debug production env later?
Vik

Hi,
I suppose you'll use one of the static ADFLogger.createADFLogger(...) methods, e.g. createADFLogger(java.lang.Class c) that seems very comparable to the common log4j practice.
In addition to logger.log(...), common methods like logger.severe(), logger.fine() etc. are available. Note that not debug, but three levels of fine (fine, finer, finest) are available
But off course, you can use any logging framework like log4j or java util logging.

Nothing. The Mac was just on.
I think that I solved the problem this morning - I tossed the old system file from my hard drive. I had done an archive and install of OS 10.4. I think that something from the old system was trying to work.
When I get a break (LOL) I will erase the startuphard drive and do a clean Tiger install - and then get all my programs back onto the Mac.

What type of protocol is used in local Logging Framework?

If my standalone java application uses the logging APIs of Access Server, which is located on the same server as my application, to read/write logs from/to the Server, what type of call or protocol they use for communication between them? Is it RMI or XML over HTTP as Rome Logging?

The hard disk changes with each generation of drive.. the original series were 7200rpm drives.. but as green drives became more readily avaialble and cheaper.. especially cheaper.. Apple moved to them.. The Latest TC uses WD green drives exclusively now..
Standard ordinary green WD are 5400rpm but maybe variable.
It is a slowish drive although probably just as fast as the original 500GB Seagate.
Now the important point.. there is no speed advantage in using a faster drive.. these boxes are processor-controller bound.
You can replace the slow green drive with an SSD and there is no improvement in speed.
Read the review where they did just that.

The SSD was marginally faster at writing.. the green drive did faster reads..

Weblogic logging framework -- customization

Hello Gurus,
Currently I am using NonCatalogLogger to log my application logs into soa_server logs. Now that I want my application logs to be logged somewhere else (not in the soa_server logs), so that my app logs logged separately in the some other location.
Is there any way to do so??
Cheers,
Vitz

1) Bad question :-)
2) I'd like to modify it directly in config.xml, what is the property ? I've already modified any log entry in this file including *.tlog files with "TransactionLogFilePrefix" property. But in my config.xml file, I don't have any entry concerning *startup.log.

You can deploy your apps outsideo f config/domain/applications
directory. Just go to console and select the "Install a new webapp

2) Can we also move logs named like "<server>-startup.log" and "<server>.log" in other directories than they are by default.
Yes. You can specify the absolute path again via console.

WD framework generated logging priority is set to PATH, any reason?

Hi All,
as I am using the logging to help to solve customer problems, I noticed if I enable the locations, there will be framework-generated messages in the log files as follows:
[SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_35] Path: exiting: wdDoExit
Feb 28, 2007 12:11:16 PM com.sap.mdm.ui.search.wdp.InternalBasicView [SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_35] Path: entering: wdDoExit
Feb 28, 2007 12:11:16 PM com.sap.mdm.ui.search.wdp.InternalBasicView
As one can see, all these messages are written by internal (generated) code. The problem is that as I enable the location "com.sap.mdm.ui.search", "com.sap.mdm.ui.search.wdp" is also enabled (inherited), which leads to a messy log files. Since I use DEBUG to write my debug messages, I cannot turn off the internal messages by setting the Priority of the location "com.sap.mdm.ui.search" to "DEBUG" because in SAP logging framework, PATH has a higher priority than DEBUG. I think this kind of internal messages should have a priority as TRACE, which is lower than DEBUG.
Could anyone clarify why it's necessary to have such messages as PATH?
Best regards,

Log filtering in BPM Enterprise Server

Hi ,
How can we filter logs based on different processes viewed inside the Log Viewer in the Process Administrator of Enterprise Server connected via. Weblogic?
So I want to see logs of Process A separately and Process B separately in the Log Viewer..
How can I do that?

Out of the box, ALBPM/Oracle BPM only allows for one level of logging across all projects, activities, business objects, etc. per engine. The only way to see projects separately is to ensure that log messages are standardized and consistently applied throughout all the projects. Since that tends to be a relatively difficult thing to enforce across all development teams and resources, we have created an Extended Logging Framework that enforces standardized logging for processes, activities, screenflows, and objects. It also outputs the log messages in a standard Log4j format that can be viewed and filtered through external log viewers such as LogMx. This allows the log messages to be filtered at an extremely granular level. In addition, the log level for each type of log message can be modified independently and adjusted in real time without having to restart the engine. You can check out a screencast here .

Microsoft enterprice library logging in ssis

Hi All,
Could anybody help me and let me know if we can make use of microsoft enterprice library logging feature in SSIS.
I have to create a POC and submitt it to client if it is worth and possible.
I know we can handle ssis logging in no. of ways but their main concern is to use enterprice library.
I am totally new and know nothing about it.
Please help me with any link or solution or step by step guide from where i can test and learn about this.
I would really appreciate your help.

Hi
Abhishek,
What are the reasons you want to use different logging framework ? The SSIS logging framework is very extensive and well documented.

JDeveloper and Logging

I have tried using the java.util.logging API and commons-logging to log messages. Both methods will successfully generate log output to the JDeveloper console window, (though filtering log levels does not seem to be working). But I cannot find the log output in any log files anywhere. I have looked in the embedded oc4j log files, nothing there. So I have 3 questions:
1) Which logging framework is the best one to use with JDeveloper: (java.util.logging, commons-logging, log4j, etc.)?
2) What's the proper way to configure the framework in 1)?
3) Where is the log file found that is generated?
Thanks,
Brad

Brad,
We are using Sun's implementation of logging which you can find the API for it at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html. For a more detailed overview of how the logging works, go to: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/util/logging/overview.html.
It only took me half a day to learn how to use java.util.logging and implement it into my project. It is an awesome framework and I highly recommend it. There are seven different logging levels to choose from. There is a method for a method entry and another for a method exit dispaying all of the parameters and there values that are passed into the method and what the method returns. You can use a simple format or an xml format to display the logging. It gives you the ability to use different handlers for where you want the logs to end up (e.i. - ConsoleHandler, FileHandler, SocketHandler, and a StreamHandler).
Here is part of the documenation I wrote on how to implement logging for just the global configurations part of it for my co-workers. I feel this is the most important part to understand.
Understanding the global configurations
1. The entire logging system can be controlled by either a properties file, a class file, or a config file. The easiest of these is using the properties file. You can find your global configurations properties file at: jdk\jre\lib\logging.properties of your JDeveloper installation. In this global properties file you can configure your Handlers and Facility specific properties.
2. Read all the comments located in the logging.properties file carefully. These comments explain very well how to use the properties file for global configurations.
3. You can use different handlers to display the logs in different places. For example, if you want the logs to display on the console, use the ConsoleHandler (recommended for debugging in JDeveloper). For displaying the logs in a text file, use the FileHandler. There is also a SocketHandler and StreamHandler. You can use a simple format or an xml format to display the logging.
4. Read the javadoc on FileHandlers to understand how to set the properties, especially for the pattern property.
5. Because each Java class initializes the Logging class passing it the package and class name, you can change your Facility specific properties to match a specific file, specific files, an entire project, an entire workspace, or all of Utiligy by just including the package name you want and then changing the logging level. For example, if you want to turn on the logging for INFO and above for the entire System Configuration project you would include: com.amxinc.utiligy.systemconfiguration.level = INFO.
6. The key word ALL can be used to turn on logging for all levels.
7. For more information on global configurations, go to: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/LogManager.html.
Once you have the global conigurations down, all you have to do is include the following class variable for every class in which you need logging:
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("<full.package.name>.<ClassName>");
Then you can call on any of the methods of the Logger class to log what you need.
Hope this helps.

Java.util.Logging Error

Hi,
I'm using the Logging framework the very first time. Here follows the Class from my code. Everything is working nice except one prob. Each and every time I run the related web-pages, a new log file is created. e.g.
mycare.log
mycare.lck
mycare.log1
mycare.lck1
mycare.log2
mycare.lck2
and so on. In a few seconds the related directory is filled with such files. I'd appreciate any bit to bit help from anybody regd this. There must be some configuration issue I guess but don't know exactly what?

public final class UserDataForm extends ActionForm
     private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("UserDataForm");
     private static FileHandler fh;
     private Vector name;

     public UserDataForm()
          try
               fh = new FileHandler("/progra~1/apache~1.0/webapps/test/log/mycare.log", false);

Thanks in advance!
- Pramod Sharma

You may have already found the issue, but the problem in your code that make is create a new log file each time is here:
<code>
fh = new FileHandle ("/progra~1/apache~1.0/webapps/test/log/mycare.log", false);
</code>
if you replace the ,false with ,true it will append the log file not create a new one.
Hope this helps.

How to use commons.logging in weblogic (8.1)?

Greetings,
I'm trying to use commons.logging framework to manage the logs of my
application. With Weblogic I will use an implementation that works with
weblogic.logging package but with other J2EE products I'll use another
native log implementations or frameworks (for instance, for jboss I will
use log4j).
1) I created a class WeblogicLogger which implements the Log interface::
public final class WeblogicLogger implements Log {
I packaged this class in a jar file with a properties file,
commons-logging.properties, which has the property setting my class
below has the default logger:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=pt.ptinovacao.weblogic.logging.WeblogicLogger
2) My sample code has the following code:
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(
LogTimeStartHandler.class.getName());
something(){
log.info(this.getClass()+" test log");
3) I added the commons-logging jars and my jar with my custom wrapper
weblogic logger in ${WL_HOME}/common/bin/commEnv.sh:
WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH=
(...)${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogiclogger.jar${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/commons-logging-api.jar${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/commons-logging.jar
However, my loggings still not appear in my weblogic server. Did I miss
something?
thanks,
Pedro Salazar

Did you manage to get this working?
If yes ... what did you do?
I am having the same problem implementing commons-logging with log4j

How to See logs for custom programs from without the logviewer in NWA

Hello Experts,
The JavaAS developers want to see the logs for their custom programs from without the logviewer in NWA.
Do you have any experience or know of any reference materials to instruct them on where to write their logs, and how to configure NWA to see them?
Thanks
Jibin.

Hello Jibin,
Your developers should familiarize themselves with the Logging Framework of the J2EE Engine.
Here is the guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/a2/15ab41d60bcb46e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If they use the Logging Framework you would be able to access the logs through NWA.
