How to configure logging for enterprise application

[Former Member]

Hello *,

there is a lot of information for the log configuration file as well as for the logging api. But I still miss the link between these two.

After I've set up the log-configuration.xml in the Developer Studio, how do I actually access the setup in a java file (here an EJB)?

Thanks for any help!

Benny,

thanks for the link.

I've set up a log configuration in an EAR project according to the documentation and put a few trace statements into the EJB's code. Alas, no output.

My suspicion is that I must tell the log library to use a certain configuration (the one I've defined) like I would do with a properties file containing such a configuration.

Is this correct or am I totally wrong here?

Hi Martin,

please have a look at the following documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e2/f410409f088f5ce10000000a155106/content.htm

You have to configure the logging additionally using the Visual Admin or the Admin console to "activate" output of your server application.

Hope that helps.

How to enble logging for J2EE application?

I see my log Controller in Visual Admin. But I couldn't find the way to activate it. Logs are not written to a file. Could not find anything in the help doc.

Here is log.properties

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

<!DOCTYPE log-configuration SYSTEM "log-configuration.dtd">

<log-configuration>

<log-formatters>

<log-formatter

name="DefaultFormatter"

<log-destination

effective-severity="ALL"

limit="1000000"

name="XVIP_LOG" pattern="./log/applications/xvip_app/app.log"

type="FileLog">

<formatter-ref

name="DefaultFormatter"/>

</log-destination>

</log-destinations>

<log-controllers>

<log-controller

There is a complete API about logging, which you can check here: http://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/60_sp2_javadocs/log/index.html

Tha manualy also describe it in the help portal.
