[xwiki-users] Fwd: Redirecting logs to a file instead of console on tomcat?

19 Apr 2012

      Now as per http://logback.qos.ch/manual/joran.html , i tried to use file
Appender to log the message to file* but no help*. Here is added code
snippet in logback.xml

 <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
    <file>myApp.log</file>

    <layout class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppendert">
      <Pattern>%date %level [%thread] %logger{10} [%file:%line]
%msg%n</Pattern>
    </layout>
  </appender>

 <root level="debug">
    <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
 </root>

To: XWiki Users <[email protected]>

I have gone thru
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Logging. As per
logback.xml(inside in MyApp/WEB_INF/classes), looks like it relies on the
fact that container will redirect all the console to logfile automaticcaly.
But it is not happening. I am using tomcat 6.  i want to put all the
possible logs i.e  log.info.log.warn,log.error,log.debug,log.fatal inside
log file

For logging i am using below code snippet
private static final Log log =
org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog(AuthServiceImpl.class);//
declared as insiance variable under AuthServiceImpl.class

then in my public method i am doing the logging as

log.error("Testing AuthServiceImpl  Reply = ");

But its printing the  logs on tomcat console. Guys really i have no idea
how to print the  to file instead of console.Inside logback.xml(inside in
MyApp/WEB_INF/classes)
i can see below  setting. I have really no idea what is happening?

Thanks in advance.
