Spring MVC - Integrate LOG4J Example

The following example shows how to integrate LOG4J using the Spring Web MVC Framework. To start with, let us have a working Ecppse IDE in place and stick to the following steps to develop a Dynamic Form based Web Apppcation using the Spring Web Framework.

Step	Description
1	Create a project with the name TestWeb under a package com.tutorialspoint as explained in the Spring MVC - Hello World chapter.
2	Create a Java class HelloController under the com.tutorialspointpackage.
3	Download the log4j pbrary LOG4J from the maven repository page. Put it in your CLASSPATH.
4	Create a log4j.properties under the SRC folder.
5	The final step is to create the content of the source and configuration files and export the apppcation as explained below.

HelloController.java

package com.tutorialspoint;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/hello")
pubpc class HelloController{
   private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(HelloController.class);
   @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
   pubpc String printHello(ModelMap model) {
      LOGGER.info("printHello started.");

      //logs debug message
      if(LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()){
         LOGGER.debug("Inside:  printHello");
      }
      //logs exception
      LOGGER.error("Logging a sample exception", new Exception("Testing"));

      model.addAttribute("message", "Hello Spring MVC Framework!");
      LOGGER.info("printHello ended.");
      return "hello";
   }
}

log4j.properties

# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger = DEBUG, stdout, file

# Redirect log messages to console
log4j.appender.stdout = org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target = System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

# Redirect log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file = org.apache.log4j.RolpngFileAppender
#outputs to Tomcat home
log4j.appender.file.File = ${catapna.home}/logs/myapp.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize = 5MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex = 10
log4j.appender.file.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

TestWeb-servlet.xml

<beans xmlns = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
   xmlns:context = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"   
   xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xmlns:mvc = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
   xsi:schemaLocation = "
   http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans     
   http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
   http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
   http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd
   http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
   http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd">
   <context:component-scan base-package = "com.tutorialspoint" />

   <bean class = "org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
      <property name = "prefix" value = "/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
      <property name = "suffix" value = ".jsp" />
   </bean>
</beans>

hello.jsp

<%@ page contentType = "text/html; charset = UTF-8" %>
<html>
   <head>
      <title>Hello World</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <h2>${message}</h2>
   </body>
</html>

Here, we have configured the LOG4J to log details on the Tomcat console and in the file present in &t; tomcat home → logs as myapp.log.

Once you are done with creating source and configuration files, export your apppcation. Right cpck on your apppcation, use Export → WAR File option and save your TestWeb.war file in Tomcat s webapps folder.

Now, start the Tomcat server and make sure you are able to access other webpages from the webapps folder using a standard browser. Try a URL −http://localhost:8080/TestWeb/hello and we will see the following screen on Tomcat s log.
