Question

Which setting do I now use to produce logging output with ‘log.info’ statements within my own controllers?

Here’s what I’ve setup in config.groovy and I thought placing my domain under the info level would do the trick but it doesn’t. Neither does placing the groovy.grails.web.* packages under info section..

log4j = {
    error  'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet',  //  controllers
           'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.pages', //  GSP
           'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.sitemesh', //  layouts
           'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping.filter', // URL mapping
           'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping', // URL mapping
           'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons', // core / classloading
           'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins', // plugins
           'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.orm.hibernate', // hibernate integration
           'org.springframework',
           'org.hibernate'

    warn   'org.mortbay.log'           

    info   'com.mydomain.someproject'
}

It turns out that I also need to add ‘grails.app’ to my info section:

info 'grails.app',       // Logging warnings and higher for all of the app

My configuration looks more like this now:

log4j = { 

    info 'grails.app',                 // Logging warnings and higher for all of the app
     'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet',        //  controllers
     'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.pages',          //  GSP
     'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.sitemesh',       //  layouts
     'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping.filter', // URL mapping
     'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping'         // URL mapping

    warn 'org.mortbay.log'

    error 'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons',    // core classloading
       'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins',       // plugins
       'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.orm.hibernate', // hibernate integration
       'org.springframework',                      // spring framework
       'org.hibernate'                             // hibernate framework
}
