Log4j2 - configuring | 易学教程

问题

I am trying to adopt Log4j2 in my new project, but I get my logs in catalina.out, and the first one is always: ERROR StatusLogger Unable to locate a logging implementation, using SimpleLogger. It seems that I have done everything according to Log4j2 docs, but still.

Here is what I have actually done:

added log4j-api-2.0-beta3.jar to my project
created a log4j2.xml file and put it in a location that is on the classpath (currently, in /usr/local/tomcat/home/lib. In fact, I took a sample file from Log4J2 web-page.
restarted tomcat.

I am using Tomcat 7, MacOS X 10.8, Java 7.

What am I missing?

Just in case, here is the log4j2.xml I am using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration status="warn" name="MyApp" packages="">
  <appenders>
    <File name="MyFile" fileName="logs/app.log">
      <PatternLayout>
        <pattern>%d %p %C{1.} [%t] %m%n</pattern>
      </PatternLayout>
    </File>
  </appenders>
  <loggers>
    <root level="trace">
      <appender-ref ref="MyFile"/>
    </root>
  </loggers>
</configuration>

I had the same problem. After adding also log4j-core-2.0-beta3.jar to the classpath it worked.

In Maven you normally have this logging configuration:

<properties>    
    <slf4j-version>1.7.7</slf4j-version>
    <slf4j-log4j2-version>2.0.1</slf4j-log4j2-version>
</properties>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>${slf4j-version}</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
    <version>${slf4j-log4j2-version}</version>
</dependency>

To add the log core lib you have to:

Add the 2.0.1 to the properties section

Add the log core dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
    <version>${log4j2-version}</version>
</dependency>

Updated to the version 2.7

Add the next jars to your project:

log4j-api-2.7.jar
log4j-core-2.7.jar

If you are using Maven, add the dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.7</version>
</dependency>

I use log4j2.8.2 and I let it auto config successfully by putting log4j2.xml in the web classes folder (WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml)
