Re: How do I attach an appender in Tomcat

You must have log4j.jar in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib or elsewhere in the 
classpath where Tomcat can see it.  commons-logging uses log4j 
preferentially if it finds it in the environment.  Try adding something 
like this log4j.xml to common/classes...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" 
debug="false" threshold="debug">
     <appender name="A1" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
         <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
             <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - 
%m%n"/>
         </layout>
     </appender>

     <root>
         <level value="info"/>
         <appender-ref ref="A1"/>
     </root>
</log4j:configuration>

I assume Barracuda application logging works for you after you see this 
message, right?

BTW, you should become a list member before posting, otherwise your posts
