I have the jar-s in the Maven Dependences:

The classpath for the log4j jar in weblogic:

The log4j.xml (from classpath):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">

    <appender name="LOGFILE" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">

        <param name="File"   value="C:\\Work\\KEPLER\\KH_RRM\\log/rrm-web.log" />
        <param name="Append" value="false" />
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
           <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <appender name="STDOUT" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
           <param name="ConversionPattern" value=" %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <root>
       <priority value ="ALL" />
       <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
       <appender-ref ref="LOGFILE" />
    </root>

</log4j:configuration>

What do I wrong? I can't imagine... Please help me! Thanks!

Solution 1

The answer is: I am deploying to the Adminserver, but I have to deploy my application to a clustor, because the ClassPath and the Arguments setting in the ServerStart will not work only on Adminserver, it will only on others.

Solution 2

Generally, because this is maven releated question then attach your pom.xml (or part of it). This is better than attaching screenshots :)

Your log4j dependency has scope provided, this mean than log4j is already on your server and SHOULD NOT be installed with application.

Are you sure it's actually provided?
