How to mapping Logger into spring J2ee application?

Question

I have a simple J2ee application with Spring MVC. Now I want to insert a logger file. So I have insert this code in springmvc-servlet:

<bean id="lo4gjConfigurator" class="com.springmvcapp.log.LoggerFactory">
       <property name="logReInit">
        <value>@logReInit@</value>
       </property>  
       <property name="fileName">
        <value>log4j.xml</value>
       </property> 
    </bean>

but if I try to load the page when the server is started, I have this error

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet springmvcapp threw exception
    org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:472)

Did you check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1509757/injecting-log4j-loggers-with-spring and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4400583/initializing-log4j-with-spring ? — erhun, Feb 16 '15 at 20:07
I have fixed the error, I have change the library of log4j and I have insert this line code to create a logger file in the log4j.xml: "C:/webapps/err_pcs.log" So now I don't have an errory when I try to write on logger file and I don't have any error but the err_pcs.log don't create. Where is my error? — bircastri, Feb 17 '15 at 11:07

With spring for example, you have src/main/java and in other source folder you have src/main/resources and inside of that folder you have to post your log4j.xml

Try with logback.xml is easy to implement. http://logback.qos.ch/reasonsToSwitch.html

Can you post log4j.xml? – nole Feb 16 '15 at 17:08

You don't have to insert that code in the servlet, is enough with this xml. log4j-config.xml. http://howtodoinjava.com/2013/04/08/how-to-configure-log4j-using-xml-configuration/ – nole Feb 16 '15 at 17:11
For nole, I have edit my question, and I have insert the code of log4j.xml – bircastri Feb 17 '15 at 08:13
