Log problems with Java and Grails

[toriton]

Hi all, i have a little problem about how retrieve an appender from Log4j configured via Config.groovy.
While the appender does its job without problems for groovy's classes under grails.app.<artefactType>, the same appender don't work if i use this statement:
Logger.getLogger("name").

This is how it is configured in Config.groovy file:


log4j = {

appenders {
console name:'stdout', layout:pattern(conversionPattern: '%c{2} %m%n')
appender new DailyRollingFileAppender(name:"myAppender",layout:pattern(conversionPattern: '[%t]%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c - %m%n'),file:"C:\\myapp\\logs\\myapp.log",datePattern:"'.'yyyy-MM-dd")
}
root{
info 'stdout'
additivity = true
}

info myAppender:'grails.app'
error myAppender:'StackTrace'

}

So when i use the code:
Logger.getLogger("myAppender") , i was expected to retrieve the same instance logger.
Instead the logger is totally a new one,instanciated at runtime from log4j.

What's wrong?

thanks in advance for any tips!

P.S. Using grails 1.2.0

You cannot access appenders via the getLogger() method because they are different to loggers. I would check out the Log4J documentation for more information.

You can probably use Logger.getLogger("grails.app").getAppender("myAppender")

What are you trying to achieve?
