Integration

Hi All,

I was trying to use log4j2 logging in OSB. I did below mentioned steps:

1. Copied external jars "log4j-api-2.0-beta7" and "log4j-core-2.0-beta7" into %Domain_Home%\lib directory.
2. Placed wllog4j.jar into same location.
3. Created log4j2.xml and placed it into %Domain_Home% directory.
4. Modified setDomainEnv.cmd in %Domain_Home%\bin directory to include log4j2.xml location(set LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE=%DOMAIN_HOME%\log4j2.xml) and enable log4j logging by setting java option(-Dwlw.log.Log4jLoggingEnabled=true)
5. Content of log4j2.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<configuration status="debug" name="MyApp" packages="">

   <appenders>

      <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="C:/Oracle/MiddlewareNew/user_projects/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs/services.log" filePattern="logs/$${date:yyyy-MM}/app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}-%i.log.gz">

         <PatternLayout>

            <pattern>%d %p %m%n</pattern>

         </PatternLayout>

         <Policies>

            <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy/>

            <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10 MB"/>

         </Policies>

         <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="10"/>

      </RollingFile>

      <Async name="Async">

         <appender-ref ref="RollingFile"/>

      </Async>

   </appenders>

   <loggers>

      <root level="debug">

         <appender-ref ref="Async"/>

      </root>

   </loggers>

</configuration>

After setting all the above things, when i am starting weblogic server then i am getting parsing exception in console with error like below:

log4j:ERROR Parsing error on line 3 and column 44

log4j:ERROR Document root element "configuration", must match DOCTYPE root "null

".

log4j:ERROR Parsing error on line 3 and column 44

log4j:ERROR Document is invalid: no grammar found.

log4j:WARN The <configuration> element has been deprecated.

log4j:WARN Use the <log4j:configuration> element instead.

I am not able to figure out what is going wrong here. In my information log4j2 has done away with namespaces, schema/dtd references and looks like still weblogic is using log4j 1.2 reference. I would really appreciate of one can tell me what is going wrong here.

There was reference to log4j-1.2.8 in my setDomainEnv.cmd as

set POST_CLASSPATH=%POST_CLASSPATH%;%ALSB_HOME%\lib\version.jar;%ALSB_HOME%\lib\alsb.jar;%ALSB_HOME%\3rdparty\classes;%ALSB_HOME%\lib\external\log4j_1.2.8.jar;%DOMAIN_HOME%\config\osb

could this be causing issue? If yes then how can we remove old references of log4j 1.2(if i am removing this entry from here then log4j is giving error for classes not found).

Any input will be helpful.
