log from static Domain method

[camneely]

package com.company.name.application

class Domain {
        private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger( Domain.class.getPackage().getName() )

  public static List staticMethod() {
                println( "LOG object is: ${LOG.class.name} | debug enabled? ${LOG.isDebugEnabled()}" )
                println( "Domain.class.getPackage().getName() = ${Domain.class.getPackage().getName()}" )
                println( "LOG.getLevel() =  ${LOG.getLevel()}" )
                def result = []
                try {
                        result = Domain.executeQuery( HQL, argsList )
                        LOG.debug( "results returned by HQL: ${results}" )
                }catch( Exception e ) {
                        LOG.error( "error caught executing HQL", e )
                }
               
                return results
  }


in my config.groovy I have this:

debug logFile:"com.company.name.application",
                        "grails.app",
                        "org.hibernate.SQL"


there is not log4j output
  and
the result of the println statements from the static method is:

LOG object is: org.apache.log4j.Logger | debug enabled? false
Domain.class.getPackage().getName() = com.company.name.application
LOG.getLevel() =  null

can someone please help me get logging working in a static method of a Domain class.
thank you

  private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(Domain)

You can probably use the Log4J classes directly, but since everything
else goes through the Commons Logging API, you should really use that.

Try it without the "logFile:" bit, just to make sure there isn't a
problem in that configuration.

Cheers,

thanks peter,
i removed the 'logfile' bit ( and switched to commons logging ), and i now see the log output in the stdout....but when i go to test and prod, i will need this info in the log file as i don't log to stdout in those environments.

you're thinking it is something incorrect with my setup?  i attached my DEV setup from config.groovy below

thank you for your help


environments {
    development {
        log4j = {
            appenders {
                console name:'stdout', layout:pattern(conversionPattern: '%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%-5p] %m%n')
                                appender new DailyRollingFileAppender( name:"logFile", fileName:"app.log", layout:pattern(conversionPattern: '%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%-5p] %m%n') )
            }
            root {
                warn( 'stdout', 'logFile' )
                additivity = false
            }
           
            debug logFile:"com.company.name.application"
        }
    }

You may not have the threshold set appropriately for your appender.
Remember, appenders won't log any messages below their threshold. Try:

  appenders {
      console name:'stdout', ...
      appender new DailyRollingFileAppender( name:"logFile",
fileName:"app.log", threshold: Level. DEBUG)
  }

Also, if that doesn't work, move the configuration out of the
environment-specific block.
