Spring log4j configuration


Every application requires logging mechanism. This page shows how to introduce logging mechanism to the spring framework using log4j. It is pretty simple to configure logging with log4j. First, add maven dependency in your pom.xml file.

		<dependency>
			<groupId>log4j</groupId>
			<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
			<version>1.2.16</version>
			<type>jar</type>
		</dependency>

Create log4j.properties file with the below content, and place it with in /src/main/resources folder, so that it will be available in the application class path. Walk through each property and changes the settings as per your needs. Below configuration makes log entries into file and on the console as well.

# Root logger option  
  
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, stdout  
  
# Direct log messages to a log file  
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender  
log4j.appender.file.File=test_logfile.log  
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=5MB  
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1  
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout  
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n  
  
# Direct log messages to stdout  
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender  
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out  
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout  
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n  

Finally, add your logs with in the class level. You are done with your log settings. The application is ready for logging.

package com.java2novice.test;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

import com.java2novice.beans.PaymentGateway;

public class SpringDemo {

	static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(SpringDemo.class);  
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		logger.info("getting application context file...");
		String confFile = "applicationContext.xml";
		ConfigurableApplicationContext context 
								= new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(confFile);
		logger.info("getting bean reference...");
		PaymentGateway paymentGateway = (PaymentGateway) context.getBean("paymentGateway");
		System.out.println(paymentGateway.toString());
		logger.info("done...");
	}
}

Domain Naming Service(DNS)
It is very difficult to remember a set of numbers (IP address) to connect to the Internet. The Domain Naming Service(DNS) is used to overcome this problem. It maps one particular IP address to a string of characters. For example, www.java2novice.com implies com is the domain name reserved for US commercial sites, java2novice is the name of the company and www is the name of the specific computer, which is java2novice's server.
Famous Quotations
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
