I am using log4j2 with slf4j and I want to write my logs to a file. This is my log4j2.xml configuration file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
<Appenders>
<Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n" />
</Console>
<RandomAccessFileAppender name="Logfile"
fileName="\\domain\path\logs\log.txt">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n" />
</RandomAccessFileAppender>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="info">
<AppenderRef ref="Logfile" />
<AppenderRef ref="Console" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
Logging to the console works, but I do not get any logs in the file. I get the following error message on the console:
2014-05-28 10:17:01,164 ERROR Error processing element RandomAccessFileAppender: CLASS_NOT_FOUND
2014-05-28 10:17:01,309 ERROR Unable to locate appender Logfile for logger
Why does log4j not find the class? Do I have to use additional dependencies?
