Log 4j Issue in Liferay 6.1.0-ce-ga1

[12年前 に Manoj GT によって更新されました。]

Hi,

In my project we are using log4j for logging. In Liferay 6.0 CE & EE this project was working fine. By now when we are migrating to Liferay 6.1.0-ce-ga1 the same project WAR is causing problem during deployment. Have anyone faced similar kind of issue if so please help me in fixing the same.

Error Log:

log4j:ERROR Could not create an Appender. Reported error follows.

This is usually a class loader issue. The logger is defined for one class loader but you instantiate an instance using another class loader...

Thanks David.. We have checked and we don't have any duplicated jars in our project related to log4j.

We removed log4j jar from our project and then also while deploying same issue is coming.

I'm not saying it's a jar issue, it's a class loader issue...

Logging at the point that you're trying to use it has been configured by the portal, not by the portlet. You're trying to use logging at the portlet level, and at that point log4j just has the stuff for the portal in the log4j context.

You can either reconfig log4j at the portlet level, or you can plug into the portal's logging by replacing log4j references w/ the portal's logging context as follows:

private static final Log logger = LogFactoryUtil.getLog(MyClass.class);

Hi David the issue has been resolved after changing all the tld and dtd reference of 6.0.0 to 6.1.0 in our XML and tld files.

Really appreciate your help for your time spend for me in helping to solving the issue.
