changing spring logging level

[mavisakal]

Hi,
We are using Websphere Application Developer 5.1 as dev environment.. When the server starts it shows up spring logs in the level of INFO.. How can I change logging level for Spring....

I don't want to see the following INFO logs...

[28.04.2005 10:11:25:703 EEST] 59c3876e WebGroup      I SRVE0180I: [ESatis] [/] [Servlet.LOG]: Loading Spring root WebApplicationContext

[28.04.2005 10:11:26:016 EEST] 59c3876e XmlBeanDefini I org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader  Loading XML bean definitions from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]

[28.04.2005 10:11:26:578 EEST] 59c3876e XmlBeanDefini I org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader  Loading XML bean definitions from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext-AcegiSecurity.xml]

Thanks...

If you are using log4j, add the following line to log4j.properties file:

log4j.logger.org.springframework=WARN

I have already got that line in log4j.xml... But it doen't work...
<logger name="org.springframework">
<level value="FATAL" />
</logger>

Is the log4j.xml in the classpath of the web app? Cause normally, if it is in the classpath it should work. Or is there already a log4j.xml file loaded by the parent classloader that takes priority.

WebSphere is a bitch to work with logging.

They use their own logging impl TrLog or what it was named. I struggled a long time to have my log4j.properties accepted in a web application.

I found a 10 pages .pdf doc in their website somewhere about it.

Thanks Claus after your post I have found something useful:

I have added :

<logger name="org.springframework">
<level value="DEBUG" />
</logger>

to my log4j.xml file which resides in the classpath. But I'm only getting info level log. Any thoughts?
