I was following Ant tutorial and wrote a simple program for log4j.But when I am trying to run the JAR by command line I am unable to do so.
Now I am unable to even guess what is the problem.
- No error is coming up when running JAR via the command line but log file is not updating
- Log file is updated when app ran in JDeveloper
- Log file is updated when JAR is ran via Ant script
- I have already added log4j.properties inside the JAR
- I have added classpath in commandline
About the JAR (LoggingTestApp.jar)
META-INF -> MANIFEST.mf
pack ->Mainn.class
log4j.properties
MANIFEST.MF
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
Created-By: 19.1-b02 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: pack.Mainn
The pack.Mainn class
package pack;
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
public class Mainn {
public Mainn() {
super();
}
String className = this.getClass().getName();
void logTest() {
Logger log = Logger.getLogger(className);
System.out.println("Logging started");
log.debug(this.className + "Hello this is an debug message");
log.info(this.className + "Hello this is an info message");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Main started");
Mainn a = new Mainn();
a.logTest();
}
}

Initially some errors of Mainn class not found were coming but I was able to take care of that by looking up.
Now there is one thing that I have been unable to do. I tried the following command to run it but there was some problem due to classpath.
Running directly
java -jar ./LoggingTestApp.jar
Main started
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger

I looked up and found that Running with jar as part of classpath solved the problem for everybody. When I ran the following command no error came up but the log did not update.
java -cp I:\Study\Codes\_JDeveloper\LoggingTestApp\Client\lib\log4j1.2.13.jar;.\LoggingTestApp.jar pack.Mainn
No error but just

The default VM is server.

Now I don't know what to look for. There's no error but using command line to run the JAR is not working at all.
