Question

Im already running morphia over mongDb in eclipse win7 64bit.
reading about the log4mongo here:
http://log4mongo.org/display/PUB/Log4mongo+for+Java
following the steps but get this:

log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate class [com.google.code.log4mongo.MongoDbAppender].

    log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "MongoDB".
    log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (LogTest).
    log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
    log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

I have the log4j.properties in my eclipse bin folder(maybe wrong but get no response elsewhere).

This files are importet:
log4mongo-java-0.7.0.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
mongo-2.6.5.jar

This is the log4j.properties:

log4j.rootLogger=error, MongoDB
log4j.appender.MongoDB=com.google.code.log4mongo.MongoDbAppender
log4j.appender.MongoDB.databaseName=appname   
log4j.appender.MongoDB.collectionName=log

Im also startet a mongo shell that’s waiting for connections

here’s the starter:

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class LogTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(LogTest.class);
        logger.error("Don't panic");
    }
}

this is working as expected

log4j.rootLogger=error, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

Answer 1

Try change appender name.

“com.google.code.log4mongo.MongoDbAppender” -> “org.log4mongo.MongoDbAppender”.

log4mongo-java-0.7.0.jar used this package.
