在web配置log4j

在WEB-INF/下建立config文件夹，创建log4j.xml的配置文件如下：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration>
 <appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %p [%c] - %m%n"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <!-- 记录系统运行的跟踪日志 -->
    <appender name="TRACE-LOGFILE" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
        <param name="File" value="${catalina.base}/logs/WebTest_SHS/web.log"/>
        <!-- 设置是否在重新启动服务时，在原有日志的基础添加新日志 -->
        <param name="Append" value="true"/>
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %p [%c] - %m%n"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <!-- 记载Run系统的日志器, 除开数据访问层 -->
    <logger name="com.dream">
        <level value="DEBUG"/>
        <appender-ref ref="TRACE-LOGFILE"/>
    </logger>

    <!-- 全局日志记录器, 当系统被部署到用户端的时候请注释掉root项 -->
    <root>
        <priority value="info"/>
        <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
    </root>
</log4j:configuration>

然后，编写一个servlet，

package com.dream.log;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator;

public class Log4jInit extends HttpServlet {

 /**
  * Constructor of the object.
  */
 public Log4jInit() {
  super();
 }

 /**
  * Destruction of the servlet. <br>
  */
 public void destroy() {
  super.destroy(); // Just puts "destroy" string in log
  // Put your code here
 }

 /**
  * The doGet method of the servlet. <br>
  *
  * This method is called when a form has its tag value method equals to get.
  *
  * @param request the request send by the client to the server
  * @param response the response send by the server to the client
  * @throws ServletException if an error occurred
  * @throws IOException if an error occurred
  */
 public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
   throws ServletException, IOException {
 }

 /**
  * The doPost method of the servlet. <br>
  *
  * This method is called when a form has its tag value method equals to post.
  *
  * @param request the request send by the client to the server
  * @param response the response send by the server to the client
  * @throws ServletException if an error occurred
  * @throws IOException if an error occurred
  */
 public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
   throws ServletException, IOException {

 }

 /**
  * Initialization of the servlet. <br>
  *
  * @throws ServletException if an error occure
  */
 public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
  // Put your code here
  super.init(config);
  String prefix = getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
  String file = getInitParameter("log4jConfig");
  System.out.println("--------  Log4J Start  --------- ");
  if (file != null) {
     DOMConfigurator.configure(prefix + file);
  }
 }

}
   注意init方法，这里初始化了log4j.xml的配置。
   然后在web.xml中配置servlet属性：
   <!-- log4j configuration -->
  <servlet>
   <servlet-name>MyLogInit</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>com.dream.log.Log4jInit</servlet-class>
   <init-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfig</param-name>
    <param-value>WEB-INF/config/log4j.xml</param-value>
   </init-param>
   <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  在程序中需要使用log的地方，方法如下：
  private static Logger logger  = Logger.getLogger(LoginAction.class);
  logger.info();
  logger.debug();
  ......

  完!
