Groovy Script and log4j

Question

Been searching here and there looking for a working example of log4j logging to file in a Groovy script.

No explicit class (it\'s just a script). No grails. Not to conso

Answer 1

Another way to do this would be to use Groovy's logging package. You can use the same easily my importing the util logging and using the @Log annotation like in this example

import groovy.util.logging.*

@Log
class Test{
    public class() {
        log.debug "Logging"
    }
}

However, since the annotation works on a class, you would need to create your groovy script inside a class. Free form scripts don't get the logger access this way.

Hope this helps.
