Logging Problem

[dsklyut]

I think you should place your logback.xml into src/main/resources.

You have at the top of the maven project and it will never get included in the jar that maven generates.

Give that a try.

[vladimir.glushak]

Well I used Include-Resource option of maven-bundle-plugin to put logback.xml in jar. Unzip jar file from target dir, logback.xml included in it.

[dsklyut]

Ok, you right .

This is what I did in logback.xml:

<logger level="DEBUG" additivity="false" name="com.log.test">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
        <appender-ref ref="FILE_SERVICE"/>
    </logger>
    <!--<root level="DEBUG">-->
        <!--&lt;!&ndash; The following level element is not necessary since the &ndash;&gt;-->
        <!--&lt;!&ndash; level of the root level is set to DEBUG by default.    &ndash;&gt;-->
        <!--&lt;!&ndash;<level value="DEBUG"/>&ndash;&gt;-->
        <!--<appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>-->
        <!--<appender-ref ref="FILE_SERVICE"/>-->
    <!--</root>-->

Result in serviceability/logs/log.log and /logs/dm-server/log.log are similar

As far as why it is not writing to the file that you want it to write to - not sure. Try to put in a debugger and see.

You can do it with a -debug flag for the startup.bat/sh. Debugger will start up on port 8000 by default.

Good luck.

How I suppose to know, if behavior is incorrect. Logging is working, no exception throws.
The only one problem is issue with not using my custom config.
I'm not sure if I be able to catch moment of not loading my config even in debug mode...

[dsklyut]

I did not get a chance to debug through the logging code. I noticed that you are logging at the "error" level. dm-server root logger is at the warn level that is the reason I saw log output in the dm-server logs.

When tuning down log level in your example code to "info", dm server did not pick up logback.xml from the bundle. I am not so sure now that embedding logback.xml works.

I guess the only way is to modify DM_HOME/config/serviceability.xml (this is renamed logback.xml for the whole server) to add your custom configuration there.

Is there a reason why you don't want to modify that file?

[vladimir.glushak]

I read your previous message, and supposed it would be easy to use custom config.

To configure logging you are not limited to serviceability.xml. You can also deploy a logback.xml configuration together with your bundle. I am not sure if that logback.xml must be at the root of the bundle or in META-INF somewhere. I believe it is in the root. Can't remember.

Is there a reason why you don't want to modify that file?

Well I would prefer to deploy configuration with my application, without changing Spring DM Server config.

Nevertheless, thanks for help.

[ivan2007]

I also would prefer to include logging configuration in my application bundles without touching the server's config file, since it's specific to the application.
I've spend hours on researching until I came across this thread.
If anyone knows how to deal with this I would appreciate it.

[vladimir.glushak]

Ivan, you can try next steps:

1. Remove slf4j.nop bundle from repository/ext folder.
2. Add import of ch.qos.logback.classic and ch.qos.logback.core packages in your's application bundle.
3. Put logback.xml in bundle classpath of your application's bundle.
