Suggestion for log4j.xml example inside preflight source

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      As posted by rnibali to the mailing list:

      I recently ran some tests using the preflight core, and wondered about the
      following message:

      java -jar preflight-app/target/preflight-app-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar xml batch
      ./OpenSource/pdftests/
      log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
      (org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.COSParser).
      log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
      log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for
      more info.

      The online PDFBox FAQ (kind of) told me how to solve this. However, using
      the example log4j.xml from PDFBox yields the following:

      java -Dlog4j.configuration=file:./preflight/src/test/resources/log4j.xml
      -jar preflight-app/target/preflight-app-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar xml batch
      ./OpenSource/pdftests/

      log4j:ERROR No appender named [console] could be found.
      log4j:ERROR No appender named [rolling-file] could be found.

      My suggestion is to replace it with this for starters:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
      <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
      <log4j:configuration debug="true" xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>
              <appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
                  <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
                      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n" />
                  </layout>
              </appender>
              <root>
                      <level value="DEBUG" />
                      <appender-ref ref="console" />
              </root>
      </log4j:configuration>
      

      Additionally, the FAQ entries should be updated with a correct example
      regarding the 'java -jar ..." case.
