I have a Grails 1.3.7 application and am trying to setup log4j for production in the configuration. The log4j settings were fine in development, but I can't get anything to show for production. I am trying to make a rolling file among other things, but I can't get anything to show. I even have the configuration at the "info" level so that I can ensure something will come through. I don't see anything of interest in the tomcat logs on the server. Any ideas?
log4j = {
def catalinaBase = System.properties.getProperty('catalina.base')
if (!catalinaBase) catalinaBase = '.' // just in case
def logDirectory = "${catalinaBase}/logs"
root { info "stdout", "roll", "errors" }
// Log all at the error level

EDIT:
The catalina.out file in tomcat6 has the following:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
SECOND EDIT:
I made a minimal configuration following Burt below to this:
log4j = {
String logDirectory = "${System.getProperty('catalina.base') ?: '.'}/logs"
info 'org.apache.',
'org.tomcat.',
'grails.app',
'org.acegisecurity',
'org.codehaus.groovy.grails',
'org.springframework',
'org.hibernate'
warn 'grails.app'
appenders {
file name: "errors", file: "${logDirectory}/pps-errors.log",
layout: pattern(conversionPattern: commonPattern)
appender new DailyRollingFileAppender(
name:"roll", datePattern: "'.'yyyy-MM-dd",
file:"${logDirectory}/pps-rolling.log",
layout: pattern(conversionPattern: commonPattern))
file name: "prod-errors", file: "${logDirectory}/pps-errors.log",
layout: pattern(conversionPattern: commonPattern)
appender new DailyRollingFileAppender(
name:"prod-roll", datePattern: "'.'yyyy-MM-dd",
file:"${logDirectory}/pps-errors-daily.log",
layout: pattern(conversionPattern: commonPattern))
}
root {
info "prod-roll", "prod-errors", "roll", "errors"
}
}
I still get the same message in tomcat and still no logging takes place. Is there something I have to do to setup tomcat for logging in this manner?
EDIT 3: Output from App-Info. This does not have my custom appenders in it, leading me to believe that that is the problem. However, when I run the app in development mode, I can verify that the log files are in fact created:
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false"> <appender name="stacktraceLog" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">

EDIT 4: I am still having a problem logging in production. Now, when I use the below logging config and run it in debug mode, I can correctly see all of the appenders in the app-info tool. However, when I build the code for production the app-info reveals that the log4j.xml that would be generated is pretty much blank:
New config:
log4j = {
String logDirectory = "${System.getProperty('catalina.base') ?: '.'}/logs"
// For some reason the 'appenders' section had to come first and it messed everything up! Maybe it just
// needs to go before root
appenders {
console name: "stdout", layout: pattern(conversionPattern: "%d{yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p %m%n")
file name: "errors", file: "pps-errors.log", layout: pattern(conversionPattern: "%d{yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p %m%n")
appender new org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender(name:"roll", datePattern: "'.'yyyy-MM-dd", file:"pps-rolling.log", layout: pattern(conversionPattern: "%d{yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p %m%n"))
}
root { info "stdout", "roll", "errors" }
// Log all at the error level
info 'org.apache.',
'org.tomcat.',
'grails.app',
'org.acegisecurity',
'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet', // controllers
'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.pages', // GSP

warn 'grails.app'
}
Output log4j.xml in Prod:
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false">
<logger name="Test">
<level value="ALL"/>
</logger>
