logging in Struts

[samit700]

Hi,

I am using the log4j framework for logging in my application. I am specifying my own custom log file in the log4j.properties file. But somehow Struts logs so many of its own errors and debug messages to my log file. How does Struts discover the logger I define in my application. Also how do I turn the Struts debugging off since it is increasing the size of the log exponentially...

Thanks,
Samit

according to Sturts documentation

"Struts doesn't configure logging itself -- it's all done by commons-logging under the covers. The default algorithm is a search:

If Log4J is there, use it.
If JDK 1.4 is there, use it.
Otherwise, use SimpleLog. "

So if you have Log4J set up, it uses it. You can lower the log level for struts package in your log4j properties file

e.g.

log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=WARN
