JBOSS日志错误解决方案

在JBOSS启动的时候，相信很多人都见到过下面这个日志错误：

这个其实跟ClassLoader和Log4j的加载顺序有关，大致过程如下：

 

• Commons-Logging查询LogFactory的实现，这里只能是Log4j（相关顺序参考我的另外一篇博客）

• Log4j通过加载其的ClassLoader去查找log4j.xml文件，详细代码可以查询LogManager的static初始化块

 

第一步：查询log4j.xml文件，查询的方式是通过Loader.getResource方法，而这个方法里面会一直查询Parent ClassLoader的Resource：

 

    public URL getResource(String name) {
	URL url;
	if (parent != null) {
	    url = parent.getResource(name);
	} else {
	    url = getBootstrapResource(name);
	}
	if (url == null) {
	    url = findResource(name);
	}
	return url;
    }

 

 如果你的应用中没有配置log4j.xml，则会继续下一步去查找log4j.properties文件（JBOSS中也没有log4j.xml）

第二步：查询log4j.properties文件，查询方法和上面的一样，通过调试发现最终会找到JBOSS的bin目录中的run.jar中的log4j.properties文件，而其中就是有FILE这个org.jboss.logging.appender.FileAppender，日志出错的原因就在这里。

 

 

解决方法：在你的应用中配置log4j.xml，而不是配置log4j.properties文件。
