The above code block is log4j.properties, you can save this file anywhere.
Look at the block, you can find a parameter:log4jDIR. This is a user define one. you could understand it at the following code block.
package com.rv.stresstest.logger;
import java.io.File;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;
import com.rv.stresstest.StressApplication;
public class RVAppLog {
private static Logger logger;
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static Logger getLogger(Class clazz, Level level) {
if (logger == null) {
String path = StressApplication.getInstance().getRootPath();
System.setProperty("log4jDIR", path+"logs"+File.separator);
String property = path + "log4j.properties";
PropertyConfigurator.configure(property);
logger = Logger.getLogger(clazz);
logger.setLevel(level);
}
return logger;
}
}
In this block, I use a class to find the path. You can review this class in the following .
package com.rv.stresstest;
public class StressApplication {
private static StressApplication a;
private StressApplication() {
}
public static StressApplication getInstance() {
if (a == null)
a = new StressApplication();
return a;
}
public String getClassRootPath() {
try {
String result = StressApplication.class.getResource("StressApplication.class").toString();
int index = result.indexOf("classes");
result = result.substring(0, index) + "classes";
if (result.startsWith("jar")) {
result = result.substring(10);
} else if (result.startsWith("file")) {
result = result.substring(6);
}
String os = System.getProperty("os.name");
if (os.indexOf("Windows") >= 0)
return result;
else
return "/" + result;
} catch (Exception e) {
return "";
}
}
public String getRootPath() {
String result = StressApplication.class.getResource("StressApplication.class").toString();
int index = result.indexOf("WEB-INF");
if (index == -1) {
index = result.indexOf("bin");
}
result = result.substring(0, index);
if (result.startsWith("jar")) {
result = result.substring(10);
} else if (result.startsWith("file")) {
result = result.substring(6);
}
String os = System.getProperty("os.name");
if (os.indexOf("Windows") >= 0)
return result;
else
return "/" + result;
}
}
At last, I will give guys a test.
package com.rv.stresstest.logger;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
public class TestLog {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Logger logger = RVAppLog.getLogger(TestLog.class, Level.DEBUG);
for (int i = 0; i < 111; i++) {
logger.debug(i);
}
}
}
The result log as the following.
2009-04-28 17:37:13,123 [com.rv.stresstest.logger.TestLog] - 0
2009-04-28 17:37:13,123 [com.rv.stresstest.logger.TestLog] - 1
2009-04-28 17:37:13,123 [com.rv.stresstest.logger.TestLog] - 2
