When I test my application with JUnit, it is printing the log as specified by layout pattern in log4j2.xml
, but when I deploy my application
in WildFly 9, I am no more getting the same format. Even the log level in Log4j2 is also not reflecting while deployed in server.
JUnit log example:
2016-02-15 11:14:16,314 DEBUG [main] b.t.r.c.XAPool - a connection's state changed to IN_POOL, notifying a thread eventually waiting for a connection
Server log example:
11:11:33,796 INFO [org.quartz.core.QuartzScheduler] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 89) Scheduler quartzScheduler_$_anindya-ubuntu1455514892022 started.
Log4j2.xml:
<Configuration status="WARN" name="myapp" monitorInterval="5">
<Appenders>
<RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="${myapp.log-dir}/myapp.log"
filePattern="${myapp.log-dir}/$${date:yyyy-MM}/myapp-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log">
<PatternLayout>
<Pattern>%d %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</Pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<Policies>
<OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="25 MB"/>
</Policies>
<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="100">

<IfFileName glob="*/myapp-*.log">
<IfLastModified age="7d">
<IfAny>
<IfAccumulatedFileSize exceeds="1 GB" />
<IfAccumulatedFileCount exceeds="1" />
</IfAny>
</IfLastModified>
</IfFileName>
</Delete>
</DefaultRolloverStrategy>
</RollingFile>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Logger name="com.company.myapp" level="trace" additivity="false">
<AppenderRef ref="RollingFile"/>
</Logger>
<Root level="info">
<AppenderRef ref="RollingFile"/>
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
While starting the server, I am providing below starup properties as JAVA_OPTS:
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dspring.profiles.active='qa' -Dlog4j.configurationFile=/home/anindya/1.0/log4j2.xml -myapp.log-dir=/home/anindya/log -Dorg.jboss.logging.provider=log4j"
I have no specific setup in web.xml
as it is Servlet 3.1 container. But I have a jboss-deployment-structure.xml
in my WEB-INF
as below:
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
<deployment>
<!-- Exclusions allow you to prevent the server from automatically adding some dependencies -->
<exclusions>
<module name="org.apache.logging.log4j" />
</exclusions>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
And finally, here are my classpath dependencies (only the relevant parts are mentioned here):
With all of the above setup, I am still not able to configure Log4j2 in WildFly environment according to my log4j2.xml
. Can someone please help?
NOTE: I am running WildFly in standalone mode and I would like to avoid using jboss-cli
.
I managed to get it working by using the below jboss-deployment-structure.xml
.
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="org.apache.logging.log4j" />
</exclusions>
<exclude-subsystems>
<subsystem name="logging"/>
</exclude-subsystems>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
All I had to do is to exclude the logging subsystem.
