Ques 1

How do you define logging for your application?

To define logging for your application, you have to download the log4j framework (log4j.jar) from the apache site.
Once log4j jars are downloaded, make sure that these jars are in classpath of your application. lets say you have web-application need to be added log4j. In this case, log4j jars are copied to WEB-INF/lib folder of your web application.
create new file either logging.properties or log4j.xml which will be copied to WEB-INF/classes folder.
logging.properties/log4j.xml contains the all the configuration related to logging mechanism and logger level and package that you want to define logger level.

Example:
logging.properties:
logger.level=INFO
logger.handlers=CONSOLE,FILE,RejRec
handler.RejRec=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler
handler.RejRec.level=WARN
handler.RejRec.formatter=RejRec
handler.RejRec.properties=append,autoFlush,enabled,suffix,fileName
handler.RejRec.append=true
handler.RejRec.autoFlush=true
handler.RejRec.enabled=true
handler.RejRec.suffix=.yyyy-MM-dd
handler.RejRec.fileName=E:\Docs\WithoutBook\DID\jboss-eap-6.2\standalone\log\RejectedRecords.log

log4j.xml:
<log4j:configuration>
<appender name="ASYNC" class="org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender">
        <appender-ref ref="LOG"/>
</appender>

<appender name="MEETING-APP-LOG" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="E:/Softwares/glassfish_dump/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/meeting_app.log" />
<param name="Append" value="true"/> 
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-a"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd} %d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%t] %c - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>

  <logger name="com.withoutbook" additivity="false">
         <level value="warn"/>
         <appender-ref ref="MEETING-APP-LOG"/>
</logger>

     <root>
         <priority value="debug"/>
         <appender-ref ref="ASYNC"/>
         <appender-ref ref="ERROR-LOG"/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>

Ques 8

What is the difference between Threshold and LevelRangeFilter in log4j?

Both Threshold and LevelRangeFilter do the same thing.

However, the threshold should be faster. Filters enable you to implement your own logic, and you can also link them together if required. If you need a basic threshold functionality, then the “threshold” function will be enough.

Ques 9

What are the format characters used in log4j?

The format characters used in log4j are

  • L – it is used to output the line number from where the logging request was processed or issued
  • m – It is used to output the application-supplied message related to the logging event
  • p – It is used to output the priority of the logging event
  • C – It is used to output the class name of the caller issuing the logging request

When any number is used along with the character it means the priority of the logging event should be justified to a width of 4 characters.
