Logging Java Connection Factory Activity

In SAS 9.3 and later, the connection factory uses Log4j to perform logging tasks. For information about Log4j, see http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html.

To configure Log4j for your client, you should create a Log4j configuration file. The configuration file can be either an XML file or a properties file. You can specify the location of your configuration file by using the -Dlog4j.configuration=path-to-file on your JVM command line.

Your Log4j configuration file defines the loggers and appenders for your SAS classes. For details about creating your configuration file, see http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html.

For example, the following properties file specifies a root logger for all logging activity, a logger for all classes within the com.sas hierarchy, and a logger for com.sas.services.connection:

   # http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html
   # Available log priority levels are: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL
   log4j.rootCategory=ERROR, A1
   log4j.logger.com.sas=WARN, SASConsoleAppender 
   log4j.additivity.com.sas=false
   log4j.logger.com.sas.services.connection=INFO, SASConsoleAppender
   log4j.additivity.com.sas.services.connection=false
   #
   # A1 is a ConsoleAppender
   # note: when the SAS foundation Logging Service reconfigures the root logger
   #       this appender will be closed.
   #
   log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
   log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
   log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p [%t] - %m%n
   #
   # SASConsoleAppender is a ConsoleAppender
   #
   log4j.appender.SASConsoleAppender=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
   log4j.appender.SASConsoleAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
   log4j.appender.SASConsoleAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p [%t] - %m%n
