Package org.alfresco.repo.admin

Class Log4JHierarchyInit

java.lang.Object
org.alfresco.repo.admin.Log4JHierarchyInit
All Implemented Interfaces:
org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware
public class Log4JHierarchyInit extends Object implements org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware
Initialises Log4j's HierarchyDynamicMBean (refer to core-services-context.xml) and any overriding log4.properties files. The actual implementation uses introspection to avoid any hard-coded references to Log4J classes. If Log4J is not present, this class will do nothing.

Alfresco modules can provide their own log4j2.properties file, which augments/overrides the global log4j2.properties within the Alfresco webapp. Within the module's source tree, suppose you create: 

      config/alfresco/module/{module.id}/log4j2.properties
At deployment time, this log4j2.properties file will be placed in: 
      WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module/{module.id}/log4j2.properties
Where {module.id} is whatever value is set within the AMP's module.properties file. For details, see: Developing an Alfresco Module

For example, if {module.id} is "org.alfresco.module.someModule", then within your source code you'll have: 

 config / alfresco / module / org.alfresco.module.someModule / log4j2.properties

This would be deployed to: 

 WEB - INF / classes / alfresco / module / org.alfresco.module.someModule / log4j2.properties
