      Hi,
      I need to write into log file.
      The issue is log file is created but it not stroring information

      getting below error:

      log4j:ERROR Could not find value for key log4j.appender.DEBUG
      log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "DEBUG".
      log4j:ERROR Could not find value for key log4j.appender.R.layout

      logging.properties
      log4j.rootLogger=info,debug, stdout, R   
      log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender   
      log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
      log4j.appender.R.File=D:/notifier1-logs.log   
      log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=220KB
      log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1

      Main.java
      public static void main(String[] args) {  

      final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(Main.class
               .getName());

                
          try {  
           PropertyConfigurator.configure("D:/JavaLogging/resources/logging.properties");
          
          
           LOGGER.info("The log message.");
           
               LOGGER.info("My first log");  
            
                
          } catch (SecurityException e) {  
              e.printStackTrace();  
          }
            
          LOGGER.info("Hi How r u?");  
      }

          you are instantiating LOGGER before you are configuring log4j.  i would imagine that isn't going to work very well.  (and your logging config is apparently problematic as well).

            thanks,

            could you pls share the code sample (working version)

              don't expect for ready answers. earlier it is already pointed why the program is giving error.

                @836548,

                 

                I tried the way jtahlborn suggested.

                Still problem is there.

                 

                If you have solution provide and dont comment on other posts.

                  what i said earlier was correct, unless you want to try your self on the given pointers .

                  Below is the working program:
                  logging.properties

                  log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout, R

                  log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender   

                  log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

                  log4j.appender.R.File=D:/testLogger.log   

                  log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=220KB

                  log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1

                  log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout //Layout is required, hence added

                  log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout //Layout is required, hence added

                   

                  Main Program

                  [code]

                  import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
                  import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;

                  class TestLogger
                  {
                  static {
                     PropertyConfigurator.configure("logging.properties");
                     }
                  public static void main(String[] args) {  
                    final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(TestLogger.class.getName());
                    try {  
                     LOGGER.info("The log message.");
                     LOGGER.info("My first log");  
                    } catch (SecurityException e) {  
                     e.printStackTrace();  
                    }
                        
                      LOGGER.info("Hi How r u?");  
                  }  
                  }

                  [code]

                   

                  command to compile and run

                  javac -cp .;log4j-1.2.13.jar TestLogger.java

                   

                  java -cp .;log4j-1.2.13.jar TestLogger
