B.6. Logging Deployment

The new files go into the Common JAR file, as follows:

• The root directory holds the following:

  • The Apache Jakarta Commons Logging JAR files

  • The Log4J JAR file

  • The log4j.extra.properties file that defines the property where the log file resides

  • The commons-logging.properties file that tells Jakarta Apache Commons Logging to use Log4J

  • The Log4J Configuration file, jbossatwork-log4j.xml

• Everything else remains unchanged.

The new SystemPropertiesUtil, Log4jConfigurator, and ResourceLoader objects are part of the com.jbossatwork.util package, so their class files reside in the Common JAR's com/jbossatwork/util directory. See Chapter 3 for more information on the Common JAR file.
